Well the thing is, I haven't been to their warehouse yet, but am going this weekend. maybe if I can find the guy on here maybe he can show me what he has for sale.

Ok, that helps. Once you know what you can get, we can help steer you in the right direction. But if you can get something with a control panel and all the wiring, buttons, and joysticks, and it's JAMMA, I'd recommend the J-Pac.

I see. But if I did get the J-Pac, that's $60 + whatever i need for the kick buttons. Maybe if I'm lucky there might be a kick harness in there I can Frankenstein. As for my area, It's not the best for collecting. It's a small town in the California bay area. This is the place I plan on looking at. It's called "All you can Arcade." It's this crazy place nearby that lets people rent arcade games in their homes. They may also put some on locations, but i'm not sure about that. I called them and they said they had some street fighter cabs gutted, along with others.

I'm familiar with them. They rent games and let people rent their games out through them. And don't stress about the $60 for the J-Pac. If it's JAMMA wired, it's totally worth your time and money.

Perfect if they'll sell you one with the control panel for $100.
It probably won't have the controls in it for that price, but I'd want new stuff anyway.

Watch out for the cheap packages of buttons/joysticks/encoders on ebay.
A lot of them come with the Japanese style buttons which are larger and won't fit in the Street Fighter CP.
