Arcade machine for the house

wouldnt bother me in the slightest...
The missus on the other hand

I only have 2 cabs at the moment and she hates them...

I sold one a couple of months ago aswell.

I had got 2 mame full size cabs and a bartop that I am working on for my niece.
The bartop should be finished but I made a mess of spray painting the plexi for the bezel.

Waiting to find someone who can do it for me or alternatively I will go with posterboard behind the plexi.
Hope to finish it in a couple of weeks.

the main cab is a restored electrocoin xenon (its a beast of a cab), I just have it running mame and a few other emu's c64, sega , virtual pinball etc.
It needs a revamp aswell.

ah I think it was me, I sprayed it too thick from the can.
Don't think I masked it well enough either, it was a complete mess.
When I did the Xenon I just did posterboard covered in vinyl and put it behind the glass.
Much simpler and looks ok.

ah i'd say you will be grand.
Anything electronic wise I am great at but anything handy like wood or painting etc, not a hope.

The missus is the handyman in the house (as such)

With the exception of the Mother Gunblade, that's the trick start off with one or 2 massive cabinets, Pinballs then soon your missus will be begging for a house of candies.

I think it would be K-RAD to have mame in a stand up cabinet! (I love early 80s games and having them all IN A CAB would be cool!)

that shipping price is only fixed until next Wednesday, i guess after then its too late to get our cabs on that particular boat, so new transport needs to be arranged, i am happy with the price and i don`t care about it going down, but i definitely don`t want it to go up, so want to buy these machines before/on Wednesday, so on mon/tues ill pm the people who are definite and arrange payment details.

I think this ship has sailed!

A full container 40foot
4 cabs wide by 20long could work

Looking at the stacking/wood used, it seems to be the same guys (if not very similar) to the place the OP is getting his.

I'd love a pinball machine, a candy, a dedciated driving cab and I think I would be happy then...

Ok maybe a dedicated shooting game, point blank or one of those.

I have 2 shooters for my mame cab but too lazy to connect them up.
They're 2 guncon pistols that I modified with the aimtraks.

Never got them calibarated properly , might give it a go this weekend.

Isn't it funny how 'the dream' changes when you start actually getting cabs?

Originally I wanted a woody cab. Just the one, then I'll be happy. - bought one, was delighted, then discovered Japanese candy cabs.

So bought one of them, loved it - oh no! how do I play vertical games?

Second candy arrives...fantastic...but now I'm looking at dedicated shooters thinking to myself 'dare I?'

Never bloody happy!

I know what you mean.
I look at arcade controls forumm all the time and some of the stuff on there is amazing.

A wall mounted touchscreen jukebox will be my project in the new year
