 Here up for auction is this Arcade cabinet that is being sold as a project / work in progress.

This is not a turn-key fully up and running arcade machine, as it needs a little work to complete the project, I am selling it as I no longer have the time to spare to complete as it should be.

I built this myself at a total cost of around 250 pounds plus the time to build it.

It runs on a PC inside the wooden cabinet and I have had it working fine using mame roms (none included) although, the PC inside it simply needs a hard disk drive to work and that is it.

It was wired up so that one press of the red power button on the front starts it all up, and also shuts the pc down when you press it again.

The screen was utilised from a 21 inch TV.

The marquee light at the top lights up, and it has coin operation facility as well, along with a free play button installed.

The buttons are all fully programmeable if you know what you are doing with these cabinets.

This would be ideal for a MAME cabinet enthusiast as it needs some more work to fully complete it, I.e, painting it, and some finishing touches, but it has all the basics like the joysticks, buttons, PC, it just needs cosmetic detailing to finish it and a hard drive loaded up with your favourite ROMS.

I'm not sure exactly of the size but it was built very close to full size so it is pretty big and would look cool when it is finished - I just don't have the time for it.


UK Bidders only and ONLY bid If you can pick this up cash on collection - You will probably need a van as it is VERY heavy and bulky.

ALSO please note that is not the finished article, and will require some work to complete it - it is being sold as a work in progress project and the right person will know what to do with it to finish it.

NO TIMEWASTERS.

Thanks

A: To be honest there is not much really to run through. There is no build manual, as I built it myself as a DIY project. This is why it really suits someone who knows what they are doing with these things, as it is a DIY... Continue reading
