Here in CT there aren't that many arcades. There are a few vendors around, but the chances of finding someone who's selling a cab for cheap, let alone throwing it out or giving it away, are slim to none.

Sorry to break it to you, but I have talked to a LOT of people with cabs in CT that are constantly turning them over, usually not that expensively.  CT has a huge amount of people trafficking cabs out of NJ.

does that newsgroup have a toronto group?

Yup, you're a n00b.  No offense.  Lemme 'splain:

New England is like the capital for arcade related stuff.  There's a massive network of collectors, guys selling stuff, guys giving away stuff, auctions (every once in a while).

So if you're looking for arcade stuff in NE, and you haven't found anything, you're looking in the wrong places.

For example: I've got four cabinets, and one actual non-converted game.  Of those four, three were free.  One was a complete JAMMA game (that I've since converted to a Mame cabinet) that I got for $130.  And the other game was 'Sega Space Attack' that I got for free (but had to drive three hours each way to get it).

Places to try:

[*] read RGVAC (that's rec.games.video.arcade.collecting) either thru your ISP's newsserver, or thru http://groups.google.com
[*] read right here.  People post stuff here once in a while.
[*]http://hartford.craigslist.com.  Although usually you won't find much there, it's still a source.
[*] Kevin @ K&S Amusements is out of CT, down near Enfield, IIRC.  He gives away cabs once in a while, and sells decent empties for a little $$$.  Contact him, he may have something for you.
