Hi guys! I've been watching John's videos for a while now however I never knew this forum existed until tonight.  My passion for arcade machines started last year when a friend of mine picked up two ms pacman arcades, and after playing for about an hour i knew i needed to get some arcades for my own house.  I decided to build a mame machine first to get into the hobby.  I built a 4 player beast mame machine and that started it all.  Now all i want are genuine dedicated cabs.  I picked up my first dedicated cab earlier this year for $50.  It was a 6 player x-men arcade that takes up my entire garage! Sadly it was turned into a mame machine itself and i'm in the process of restoring it.
