I picked up my 3rd cabinet tonight!!!

The cat is pretty funny. I have a cab just like that. Good platform for Mame, though I'm 86ing the CP eventually for something more accommodating.

If either of you decide to get rid of your metal cut-corner cp's, please let me know as I would be interested. :cheers:

when i saw the cabinet, i figured it would be a perfect candidate for mame. it is generic, so no classic value or anything like that. and if it were my only cabinet, the control panel wouldn't probably be suitable for all of my controls, but since i'll have a dedicated cabinet for trackball, spinner and 4 way games, i can make this one a simple 2 player street fighter layout...so the panel should work just fine. i'll just need to buy a better hole saw, since the cheap set i bought is only for cutting wood. all of the standard button holes are already in the metal, just not the plexi..but i need to add an escape button, and possibly a pause button(i still havent made up my mind on that one. i hate to buy a hole saw just to cut one hole in the panel, but i guess i'll end up using it more down the road.
my cats are always in/on my cabinets. if i leave teh back door off, or the coin door open, it doesn't take very long for a cat to jump in there. they also like to sleep on top of the cabinet or control panel...and i often find that one of them has turned on my zakman cabinet in the middle of the night. (i think they were trying to play Magical Cat Adventures...lol)
i cleaned up the dynamo cabinet this afternoon, and i found $6 in quarters lying in the bottom, so it really ony cost me $14 for the cabinet..
i also found a local guy through craigslist who had some guncon2 guns for sale for my gun cabinet, so i picked those up today. now i just need to build a new panel for that cabinet and figure out how to make some gun holsters. unfotunately, i wiped out my cabinet fund by buying the guns this afternoon, so any progress made will have to be with stuff i already own for a little while. i'll be taking pics of teh process, adn when i get these two cabinets pretty much done, i'll post a project announcement thread.

This is an extra one that I have that I would trade if either of you are interested. The holes I colored in are also empty holes. I just colored them in to mock up a layout recently. :)
