/diy/ - Do It Yourself

A lot of good advice here, but as a guy that works at an arcade, a request please.

If you aren't very skilled in building an actual wood frame for your cab, try to get a junker cab to convert into your game. If you look on cragslist or can find a local company that runs a route, you can usually get a old cab for $50 or so.

Like I said, get a junker. These things aren't being built anymore, and it's sad when someone takes a classic cab (like a Pac man or whatever) and gut the thing to run MAME. There are a lot of shit games/cabs out there that were already converted from one game to another and make decent MAME cabs
