(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! Smiley

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.

Hi Both - This is a great forum, glad you joined.  We need more Europeans on here - far too many Americans for some reason;-)

Yes it's very hard to buy a used cabinet here, thats why I am making my own one.
It's not so hard to make one, but it takes time. Nice topic! (why arcades were gone)

If you move to America you will be able to buy a bunch of cabinets . But then again the way things are going in this country lately I would just stay over there Smiley

Welcome though!
