Can anyone identify this cabinet?

[TadChower]

First off , Happy Monday. My local CraigsList has an arcade game for sale , but I can't seem to make out the former life of this cabinet. http://tampa.craigslist.org/tag/334385634.html. Can anyone help?

That used to be a really rare game called "Bunch O' ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- from the Garage."

Well, we did get a report that someone was stealing some schedule 40 steel pipe from our shop here at work.

[TadChower]

Yeah , I'd like to get a closer look at it.  Sort of looks like a hacked up go-kart frame , or even a weight bench.





  I wonder where the coin slots are?

It's called Piece o' sh*t-cade

At this rate, how long  before we see a monitor on a table and someone calls it an arcade cabinet?

I'm not sure what everyone's problem is here... I'm planning to build my next cab very similar to this one.  It will even transform into an exercise machine, saving space.

Can you fold it up and slide it under your bed or into a closet?

[Jeff AMN]

This particular "cab" is horrendous, but the concept is cool. I think it would be neat to do a metal/plexi build where all your wiring is hidden within the framing. It could be really neat, lightweight, and unique. It would be quite the challenge to make it look nice though. Still, I wouldn't mind seeing somebody try it.

Lightweight is exactly what you want in an arcade cabinet.  I like to fail mine about the room when I lose at dig dug.

Hur hur.

It would be a small perk for somebody that was planning on moving it around.

[Zakk]

Thing is, these things really aren't supposed to be particularly mobile.  If someone needs to move it around, then maybe a controller-only version would be better, instead of a hideous tubular monstrosity that is just begging for a hecklin'.

BTW, what is a hur?

[Chris G]

Ben's sister?

Looks like one of those walmart desks cut to pieces and welded back together.

[psik0tik]

That guy lives like right down the street from me...I wouldn't buy it....for that kind of money you could build your own that looks 100 times better than that and I'm sure everyone on here would help you.



It's a metal frame with a piece of plywood screwed to it.

Too bad they don't have an open Question thing at the bottom like Ebay. It'd be fun to ask if he could post a pic of the arcade game he's selling instead of a plant stand.
