My 2 MK cabs were delivered tonight.
Me and the gf spent 15 min playing one of them, they are in the garage atm and its too damned hot pushing those buttons :)
Both are conversion cabs from the game the main event, so thankfully no good games were harmed ;)
The console art lwas piece together from a console artwork and side art work, apparently, but im gonna work on getting new art.
I'm quite happy with the cabs and cant wait to start on building the mame cab.
I'm not gonna bother with pics bc they are generic cabs :P

Well Luckily for me, I am being held back by my living accomodations. Im surprised dad didnt kill me for the 2 cabs in the garage :P
Now if i teach him to play......
Anyways, I gotta either move out, or *gasp* clean out the garage before I can get another cabinet.

well, im only 20, so i still live at home....but, its a good think that my parents always wanted stuff like this, so finding room in the finished basement for arcade machines has never been a problem......but, its starting to fill up now, and realisticially i could probably only get one or two more machines if i did choose to

You should be able to get a Simpson's for around $500 or so. Area 51 will probably be less. The last Daytona USA I saw on ebay went for $5,000.
EDIT: Here it is.

Ah, so true...I've already decided that my Spring Break pinball machine needs a friend....it's just not compatible with the Defender cab. :D
