Although I have over 100 jamma boards I have never been able to buy a cab due to space issue. Now that I moved into my new place I have a little more space to work with.

Since I want to be sure I can get it through my front door and be able to physically move the cab by myself if I need too I want a astro or windy city over a wooden cab. What is the going price for a windy or astro and where in the L.A area can I pick one up for sure. It would be nice also to have a multisync 15K and 25K monitor. Is it also possible to add a 4 player control panel to either of these cabs

Also for those of you who have a astro or windy did you have any problem getting it through your front door, when I say front door I mean a normal hoouse door way not a rear sliding glass door.

In your area, a Candy will undeniably be the best choice for availability, cost and size.

I think Big had some capcom cabs for sale.

I think I only want to spend $300-$450 tops, bigs want more than that. Where do you think I can find candy cabs in my area.

Matsu, a respected collector in our community has another shipment of Candy cabs coming in from Japan. Matsu resides in southern California and cabinets can be either picked up or shipped throughout the United States. If you plan on getting cabinets shipped to you, I suggest getting 2 cabinets as the shipping cost is 2 for 1. Below is a pricelist of his upcoming stock.

-Sega New Astro City - $475


-Taito Atomiswave SD - $1750


-Namco Cyberlead - $500


-Sega Aero City - $250

Matsu can be contacted via email at:

gamemachine2003@hotmail.com

Welcome to my hometown area, this is a great place for getting japanese cabs. Matsu, as already recommended, is a great person to deal with and always gets different cabs in from time to time. Also every couple of months SuperAuctions comes to the Orange County Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa (about 40 mins from Torrance) and the prices are usually great as well.
