My supplier has a special on mdf core black melamine (he had 100 sheets 4 days ago) I am getting a break on it, passing the savings on. I still haven't figured out shipping, but seawolf from Chicago will be here in November, he hauls games back for 65.00 also, roadrunner000 may be here from Pittsburgh and he may haul games back there for a price, possibly rturb0 may haul cabs back to Columbus for a price too.

Here's the specials..

Galaga standard cab, exact to original. 275.00

Galaga multicade style no wheel holes no back door vents opening for happ or coinco coin door. 275.00

Tron 300.00

Krull 300.00

Starwars upright 350.00

I haven't vectored the files for Krull or starwars upright, but I will if they get ordered. Order 5 cabs or more and I will take off another 25.00 per cabinet. Pm me if interested, thanks! Brett
 
are these complete assembled cabinets or kits. any pictures? where are they?

AWESOME!

If we can figure out cheap shipping to california I would be down for a tron cab.
 
I haven't made a tron in black melamine yet, and I haven't programmed in sw or Krull, Got takes me a day to program them in. Using my Droid I can't remember if I took any pics of my melamine galaga cabs. These cabs are completely assembled. Shipping is what kills me, navl costs too much.
 
doesn't gamegirl have access to awesome shipping prices? She always says she does.

I wonder if other people can get her deal.
 
I wish they was a way your REPO Cabs could reach the West Coast here. I've seen sooo many that i would be interested in buying. But like you said the Shipping is the Killer!
 
Yes, Joust cocktails are happening. Mongo was kind enough to send his to me via 2 other Klovers, and Seawolf in chicago has it right now. He'll be comming here in November, that's the best guess for time frame. Price is not set, i base it on how much material it takes, and how much extra labor is involved once it's cut out. If i have alot of angle cuts, and i know the control panels will be tricky on these too, but i will do my best to keep the price reasonable on these.

Shipping does suck. i am waiting on Fedex Freight to call me. game_girl was very helpfull assisting me in setting up shipping. Probably the best way to ship cabs is going to be unassembled, and multiple cabs in one shipment. If i could ship 4 cabs unassembled in the space of one assembled to the west coast for 400.00 then your looking at 100.00 per cab shipping, and i think that would make people more than happy to pay shipping!

I think i would have to do all the blocking, and assemble the entire game, but with drywall screws to hold it together, so the end user could easily just screw it back together. It would be a bit more work on my end, but i wouldn't change the pricing.
 
Seems like this black melamine material would be ideal for reproduction Atari cabinets. The black melamine replacing the vinyl covered PB - would like clean, would look pretty close to authentic, and much more durable. Only thing I could see is the black instead of bare particle board under new vinyl artwork, Tempest for example - might be too dark under there. I suppose it could get a shot of white primer to lighten it though.

SON-OF-A-B!!!!! Brett... those are off the chart ridiculously great prices!

Thinking I'm going to get a Galaga... I have an upright that needs some work... I'm just not that into it... but a minty fresh melamine one would be perfect!

Your cabs look great!

I hope they are able to help you out. Just be sure to keep on top of them. :)
 
Thanks! I've gotten a few pm's asking for shipping quotes, it will be Monday before I have some prices nailed down. So far I am looking at a 70% discount through fedex.

I have had games shipped by Game Girl she gets excellent rates. If you can get those rates it will be awesome!!
