    I love Galway, it's my second favourite county. :)

    As for arcade machines, have a word with Cheggers. He made his out of a rubiks cube, a piece of bellybutton fluff and an old copy of Newsweek.

    Generations have come and gone, wars have been fought and lost and electricity has been invented. But he did get it built... I think?

    Hey Owen,

    I have found adverts my best bet finding a Cab but they are few and far between.
    And usually you have to travel around country to collect them.

    There are 3 for sale on adverts at moment, theirs one on adverts for 100e at moment, i dont like that cab, and another 350 in wicklow, and also one on sale a while as its 800e, but such good looking restore, Love this cab, if not buying it its something to aim for if restoring, but like eveything it all adds up, PC, AracdeVGA, Artwork, making Control Panel etc...

    Best Bet is Mitchomagic if you search arcade on adverts.ie just ask him there if he has any cabs spare, he usually does, good guy, and he is only lad I know here who really has Cabs in and out.

    Kev
