Title: Hello from Maryland Post by: moogrum on April 22, 2014, 08:36:36 am Hello, I really enjoy the videos, and my interest has been piqued. I have one main question, how does one "break into the hobby" so to speak? I am an electrical engineer and a project like this looks like an awesome way to spend my free time, but it is very difficult to find defunct cabinets on craigslist. All I seem to find are priced in the thousands, or these "60 in one" homemade mame things some local guy makes. Are there regional communities I should be looking for?

You can find broken games on CL. But, you gotta look EVERY day. It's a big part of the hobby. Yes, I think it's a great idea to seek out a local community. I think there is a group down by you. Maybe google it? Title: Re: Hello from Maryland Post by: moogrum on April 24, 2014, 06:39:53 pm Hello, I really enjoy the videos, and my interest has been piqued.
