Buying my first arcade machine on a budget. Can it be done?

As in the title, I want to buy a fully working arcade machine on a budget of about 200 - 250. Can it be done? I am useless at woodwork etc and not really able. Any advice or ads spotted or anyone in Ireland that might have a cab in my budget. Thanks.

Ronan.

Yes definitely, stick an ad in the marketplace, there is often woodies for in around that type of money, you might need to replace a few bits like buttons/sticks but its definitely do-able

A Silverline or similar is doable for that price.
Just be prepared to replace a few buttons or tidy up some cosmetic features.
But that's part of the fun!

Any where or one that has such a machine for sale?

I might be able to help you out, stick an add in the marketplace and we can work from there as no sales allowed here. (hope that's OK cidey) if not delete this post.

At that price a bar top might be worth considering if you dont mind a smaller cab that stands on a table:

They dont seem as small in reality.
