>>2886782/diy/
at the >$2,000 arcade cabinet wholesale place. duh.
>>2886782In the 90s
>>2886815He might mean a candy cab; they're all plastic. $2k is about what they go for.
>>2886782I was going to suggest TNT Amusements in Philadelphia. They were under $1k 10 years ago, but it looks like 2k is the new going rate. Just build a cabinet yourself and load MAME on a Raspberry Pi.
>>2886972Nah, get a MISTer and a cheap VGA CRT.
>>2886782It's a sawdust and glue box with the cheapest electronics inside. You make one at home
>>2886832oh,How can I BUILD an arcade game cabinet for less than $2,000?
>>2887009Plenty of instructions out there but I'm sure you could find a cheap cabinet out there and convert it to whatever game you want for like $1000. Just figure out what game you want, find out what board it uses, then look for the cheapest one with that platform
>>2886782Build your own and use mame>i want an official oneSomething like a taito x2 will go for $200-400 not including the game harddrive or the cabinet.
>>2886782>these are the places your mom and dad go to and blow their retirement
