<\/a><\/p>\n

Up for sale is my MAME Cabinet.\u00a0As documented on this wiki article<\/a>\u00a0I built this cabinet from a pile of lumber in the style of a late 1980s Data East cabinet, then outfitted it to be an extremely solid, quality MAME cabinet. Over the past few years\u00a0I haven’t found the interest to keep working on it and now it’s time to sell.<\/p>\n

Price is US$700<\/strong>, to be picked up at my house in Shelby Township.<\/p>\n

Purchasing just the keyboard encoder, controls, coin door,\u00a0and supplies for finishing the control panel would cost nearly this much.<\/p>\n

Click on the photo above (or here<\/a>) for more photos of the cabinet\u00a0taken in early 2017. Please take a look at this article<\/a>\u00a0for information on exactly what went into the cabinet, and this photo gallery<\/a> for\u00a0some photos of it throughout the years.<\/p>\n

This cabinet currently does not have a monitor installed, and the PC is a bit outdated (it was last powered on ~3 years ago), but all of the arcade-specific parts of the cabinet are in\u00a0great shape. All controls\u00a0feel good\u00a0and are connected to a Hagstrom KE72-T encoder (no ghosting), the control panel can quickly disconnect from the main cabinet for ease of transport, and the monitor support bracket will make it easy to install a new display. Prior to listing this for sale I was\u00a0planning to install a ~24″ widescreen LCD. Proper arcade game-type T-molding is installed along all edges and the cabinet has numerous handles, leveling feet, and roller wheels to make moving it easy.<\/p>\n

Part specifics can be found on the wiki article<\/a>; almost everything was purchased from Happ Controls and thus is full arcade quality. The control panel is topped with Formica and features eight buttons per player, some MAME-specific buttons for adjusting in-game controls (DIP switches, volume, etc), and there are three hidden buttons on the sides to act as coin inputs. The Millipede-sized real-arcade trackball serves as a normal mouse, and a wireless Logitech keyboard is included.<\/p>\n

The cabinet features a temperature-controlled vent fan, internal power strip, speaker amplifier, remote bezel light switch, remote power and reset buttons, and quick-disconnects for all internal connections.\u00a0PC-mounting points inside are ATX-spec to make installing a bare motherboard easy.\u00a0The control panel is removable, held in place with thumb screws making transportation even easier.<\/p>\n
