Anyone in south-east England (or specifically within the M25) have an arcade collection going on? Even if it's just one or two machines.

Any tips on where to look for machines? I've tried craigslist and that turns up zero, and ebay is just as bad in my area. Any arcade-specific classifieds or anything?

Thanks,
Dan

theres a couple places to check out...

since your within (or at least near the M25) i'd suggest bexley automatics.. it's along the north cray road between bexley and sidcup in kent.. you can see it as you drive along it's a small shop located in this ariel photo

i bought a cabinet and some game pcbs from them around 4 years ago, it can be worth trying them as they do get them from time to time.. that is off course if the shop still exists as it has been a while since i went there


another place to try again if they still exist is arcade heaven in maidstone, they buy and sell arcade machines

raven games in/near bromley ( www.ravengames.co.uk ) sometimes get cabinets in, can be a bit pricey though, but worth a shot

theres allways ebay, but that can be a little hit and miss, but jut type in jamma cabinet and see what you get...

i realy wish you'd have posted this message last year, as i would have been able to supply you with a cabinet for under £100.. i got another one coming up for sale soon though, but it just needs a little work done to it, would suit for a mame conversion if that is what you wanted it for
