    Default Building a Mame Arcade Cocktail Cabinet

    Over the years I remember there being a few mame cabinet threads, has anyone here built a cocktail cab?

    I’ve got it into my head to build one myself and want to base it on a classic pac-man table top with 4 players (2 horizontal and 2 vertical). I want it to look as professional as I can and therefore want to go with a metal control panel.

    Sourcing these however seems to be a right pain, I’m not sure if I’ve missed the high point of arcade cab building hence the lack of parts out there.

    I could save myself the grief and just buy a pre-built kit with glass for £320 quid, but that’s pretty expensive given that its wood and glass only.

    It's that time of year.

    Every year I get the same feeling. Get yourself signed up at www.jammaplus.co.uk if you haven't already. Some great members over there and if you get your post count up you can access machine sales which are a lot better value than on the bay.
