Hey...I imagine that this could go in another forum, but I think I favor import-mania too much since it IS technically import related...anyway. One of these days I'm going to get around to making myself an Arcade cab...for MAME or hopefully when I have tons of cash floating around, I can get me some Dodonpachi Dai-ou-jou Death Label love going (*drool*). Continuing on, having an american cab certainly won't do...and importing one of those beasts is obscenely cost-prohibitive...so hell why not build my own? I know I've seen pics around the net...I just can't think of any places off the top of my head that feature pics of Japanese cabs - of which there are certainly more than a few varities - so...wait..um..the point, right -

Anyone have any pics of Japanese cabs?
Thanks.

www.coinopexpress.com Go to their Full Machines section, "Cabinet Only"

Also, look up cabs like the Taito Egret, Sega Megalo, Capcom Mini-impress, etc. Most of the mini-cabs are made of plastic...much lighter and nicer. I myself have one on the way right now...a Super Neo 29 Candy Cab.

Thank you for your reply - unfortunately, I've already ran through all of my bookmarks on arcade vendors...I was looking for larger pics than that actually. But you've piqued my curiosity with your statement that you yourself are obtaining a japanese cab - do you mind telling me how much it was for shipping?

Well, I'm having it shipped via train from Vancouver, BC to me here in London, Ontario, and it's gonna be about $100 Cdn. That's a VERY cheap price however....usually arcade machine shipping is a good bit more than that.

I'll have pics of it up when I get it.

That's odd...when I tried to get two arcade PCBs from Coinopexpress they forgot to get back in touch with me, despite emailing them multiple times and talking to an employee (on the chat function thingy). Maybe they like Canadians more..?

Huh? What are you talking about? No one mentioned Coinopexpress...

They've always gotten back to me tho. Their prices are a bit high on PCBs IMO tho.

Whatever you say, Max ;)

I was simply bringing that story out in case anybody thought they'd try Coinopexpress.com...

I hope no one is dumb enough to pay shipping from Hong Kong on an empty cab..... I only referred there for the pics.
