Hello friends. Been interested in arcades for a long time, made my new year resolution to get my first official arcade this year. ( I bought a mame bartop arcade from Ebay... wasn't the greatest experience. ) Been binge watching arcade stuff on youtube and it eventually lead me here.

For my first arcade I would love a Ghost n' Goblins, Yie Ar Kungfu, or Neo Geo 4 slot. What is on top of my list would be a Playchoice 10 bartop/countertop though. I don't have a vehicle to obtain cabinets and most people aren't motivated to ship unfortunately. Only noticed one person buying/flipping arcades near me and they tend to be on the high side for price. Only have room for 2-3 cabinets at most, so I like the idea of a single machine being able to play a lot of different games.

Ok!
 
Hey there John. I am about 10 minutes south of Cincy. Been in the hobby for about 5 years, have 10 arcade machines. I'll keep an eye out for those titles. I get in about 4 good hauls a year. If you ever find a hoard of stuff including something you are looking for, we could partner up and I can solve the transporting part for you. I also have quite a few extra parts and such. Happy hunting!!

Thanks friend, I'll keep that in mind!
 
Hey John! Randy from Dayton. I'm relatively new here as well but the guys here are great about "paying it forward" for new guys. I started with two just a year ago and now have 8 and 2 pins. Wouldn't have any of it working without the help of many nice guys I've met here. I'm always looking for myself and others and I'll keep an eye open for the cabs you mentioned between here Columbus and Lima.

(For any other 0hio/NoKy guys, I'm trying to compile a list of pinball techs in South Central Ohio. If you have any please PM me!).
 
I'm up in Columbus. Welcome to the hobby. I have a friend who drives a Honda Element and she lets me borrow it. It's good to know nice people! [emoji847]
 
Hi John

Hey John, another Ohioan reporting, this time from near Lima, the deals are out there man, just gotta be really patient sometimes. I just picked up a nice Double Dragon in a Playchoice 10 cab the other day for $250. Just gotta be willing to put some work into it and learn about the hobby on the way. Time, Money, Work, pick two and that is this hobby haha! but for real, i'll keep an eye out for any cabs that meet this criteria and i'll get back to you if i find anything.
