Title: Hello ! From the Netherlands Post by: ArcadeRoy on August 24, 2014, 02:11:27 pm (First, excuse me for my bad English)
My name is Roy, I'm 16 years old and I'm living in the Netherlands. I love arcade and pinball. I am making my own arcade cabinet (Small version, bigger than a bartop, smaller than full size) John, thank you for setting up this forum and showing al those nice video's! Hero! I am going to post foto's of my cabinet (build) soon! :) Title: Re: Hello ! From the Netherlands Post by: Daikath on August 24, 2014, 02:51:44 pm Hey, also dutch here. Isn't it hard to buy a used cabinet here? Because all the arcades were gone in the 90s right? I finally found out why
http://www.johnsarcade.com/forum/index.php?topic=1459.0 I am looking into just getting a galaga pcb and then figuring out how to build a cabinet around it. I will probably try and make the shape as authentic, but then go with cheaper prints of the side art, since it won't ever be a real cabinet the time and money spent will not be worth it imho. Looking into switching info on our efforts. Title: Re: Hello ! From the Netherlands Post by: lesoleil70 on August 24, 2014, 02:57:41 pm Hi Both - This is a great forum, glad you joined. We need more Europeans on here - far too many Americans for some reason;-)

(why arcades were gone) Title: Re: Hello ! From the Netherlands Post by: OriginalTHK on August 28, 2014, 06:40:36 pm If you move to America you will be able to buy a bunch of cabinets lol. But then again the way things are going in this country lately I would just stay over there :)
Welcome though! Title: Re: Hello !
