I bought a nice burn free Sanyo monitor from a guy in NY who multi's games. He guts out the original components, ebays them, and then multi's the cabs with LCD's and sells them. He said he does this because he makes double the money parting out the original components and ebaying them (PCB, power supply, monitor, etc) then selling the cab multied.... I hate trying to browse Craigslist for original arcade games because for every one original there's like 60 multies, lol. But whatever, the up side is that I can grab a nice monitor here and there....
 
I don't really have a side in the fight but I personally don't see the desire to want to play a classic arcade game on a non-original PCB or emulated and using a LCD monitor but using an original cab? Why waste all that space to play emulated on a LCD? Why not just play on MAME on your PC and save all that floor space? Hell, I bet my Asus 165hz Gsync monitor has less input lag than whatever LCDs they're putting those multi games.... IMO if you're going to waste the floor space on a arcade cab, it only makes sense to want to play on original hardware....
 
It's bad enough we have classic machines leaving the U.S. on container ships, and the ones that are still here are being butchered...
 
Same story here in Phoenix. We have quite a few of these douchebags buying & multi-raping local games. If a collector doesn't get it before them, it shows up a day or two later on cl or letgo or offerup as a trauma victim being sold for over a grand.

Reminds me of this scene from The Matrix...

That just confuses me.
I assume a joystick is mounted where the spinner was?
Seems like a really awkward and unenjoyable way to play a bunch of those games.
 
Who buys all these multicades? I mean, people wouldn't keep gutting good cabs if they couldn't sell them as multicades right? And the prices they're asking, who pays that much for a multicades?

I agree totally. Go big or go home.

I ask that question too. There's a local guy here who guts a number of very good classics to multicade them. Considering how dry this area is, even a beat up classic fetches good money with far less work. The multis sit on craigslist for months and yet he continues to add more. I don't think he is all there. Maybe a bit of the crazy mixed with scrapper and junker flipper mentality.
 
I buy multicades, people with limited space usually do.(apartments/duplex) Out here I can usually find multicades and I can convince them to part out the cabinet or if they're using a classic cabinet I trade them a dynamo for it. Multicades in California go for like $500-$1000 but it's all in your approach to them to get them at a good deal.
 
it's pretty sickening how many multicades there are on CL now. Seems like a majority of the DK and Pac cabs you see on there are multi's. What worse is when they are on KLOV.
 
If you picked up a container or two of the machines offered by this group you would probably cripple the Multicaders in your area. I've seen their products first hand and they aren't bad. They aren't for collectors, but would appeal to the run of the mill multicade seekers.

Flooding the market with machines like these should greatly reduce the desire and profitability of converting classic.

Interesting. The screen shots are all iCade (60 in 1 turd board) but they claim they're powered by an rPi.
