Looking to buy a Japanese style arcade cabinet (candy cab) with a two player control panel.
A stripped cabinet with monitor and power supply is pretty much all I need. Preferably a tri-sync rotatable monitor.
Let me know what you have.
I am outside of Austin Texas and looking for local pickup. I don't have the dough to have one shipped. Thanks.
When you mention you don't have the money to get a cab shipped, I'm curious what your budget would be then? The things you are looking for can be costly, Cabs with Tri-sync monitors can get near, or above $1000, and also since you posted this as a wtb, you are looking for a member to sell you one, which chances are, would be cleaned up and possibly somewhat restored condition, therefore costing more than average. If there is one thing I've learned through cab ownership, is that arcade collecting is a money pit, if you are not after pcb's then there is always something to fix/replace on the cab, or something that just breaks down (most of these things are over 15 yrs old, and weren't exactly taken care of in their prime).
I can understand looking for the best option in shipping, and trying to find the best deal, but to outright say you don't have the money for it, then maybe you don't have the money for everything else that goes along with cab ownership.
and lastly, Since this thread, and subsequent bumps are the only things you've contributed to the community so far, I think you might have a tough time finding someone here that will sell to you. My advice is, save up some money, and bite the bullet on shipping, My first candy from Ken@gameroom, cost me $450 in shipping alone to get it from Utah to North Carolina. In Texas you'd be closer to ken in utah anyway, my shipping was set up by him, you might be able to find something cheaper if you set up your own shipping, like through Uship.
