Firstly, let me say I don't own any original, dedicated cabs with super nice aesthetics. Currently I have 6 cabs, 2 are just generic Dynamo (I think?) cabs, 1 is an extremely old unnamed brand generic cab, 1 is a Ms. Pac-Man conversion that was hastily and poorly converted to a multi-slot MVS cab, and one is a dedicated Sammy Deer Hunter cab (not fancy at all) that I'll be adding a normal control panel to to play both lightgun games via a MAME PC and PS2.
Depending on your setup do you even bother to collect bare boards? If so and you have dedicated cabs, do you just get boards specifically compatible with them or those that require extra action buttons to be drilled and other alterations? How to you store these monstrosities?
