scott:
You know, I think I'd be happy with 2 mame cabs. Especially if each one is dedicated to a specific screen orientation.
darko:
That's about what I figured for my Mario Bros. narrow body. But, like you said, it's the project. That's what I discovered with my MAME cocktail; it was more fun to build it than to play it. I eventually traded it off for two real machines.

Mine is the wide body. Does that make a difference? I know virtually nothing about cab collecting.
dstone:
@darko I don't think it really matters. Same board set and all but the control panel, marquee and bezel are wider.
jcalder8:
I have had the most luck with Kijiji and Craigslist.

I had/have both dedicated and original machines. It really comes down to what you want the most. I started off buying dedicated machines I decided that they didn't hold my interest so I MAME'd one and kept my Nintendo Red Tent. The one I did MAME had a blown out monitor and painted sides so I didn't feel bad about gutting it.
varkias:
@jcalder8 What games do you have with your Red Tent?
