I'm looking to pick up a Time Crisis arcade cabinet, there's

Ebay. You're going to be paying freight shipping regardless if it's not anywhere close which basically limits you to Craigslist, and I wouldn't buy a cab off there if they payed me.

I should add I only care about jap candy cabs but every company that I know of that specializes in cabs also puts everything on Ebay. Not just a copout answer.

I hear you.

It does make me wonder why this "working cabinet" has been sitting on CL for 6 months. I've never bought one off of there, but I figured since I had luck with other stuff, I'd give it a shot. I'll give ebay a check before I commit though.

Many places. I suggest you look at local arcades. It's much easier to test a cab and get subsequent support there than in the back of a pickup truck in a parking lot.

Because video game cabinets are something that nobody in their right mind wants.

It's because

>in an age where people play shit on their phones all the time

Arcade Cabinets are a novelty. Lightgun games especially are very high maintenance. The guns need to be calibrated frequently, and parts are getting harder and harder to come by for specific games. Afaik the "generic" guns are inferior, but they may be your only option because good luck finding a new time crisis gun.

They're also fucking huge. My Neo-Geo is a normal sized cabinet. but it's still massive and has a huge impact on my room.

There is no such thing as a "new cabinet" unless it's some shitty company trying to push terrible "custom" mame cabinets. Buying an arcade cabinet you are assuming a lot of maintenance responsibility and potentially costs to keep it running effectively. I don't have any experience with a lightgun cabinet myself, but I know they're a pain in the ass.

>tfw I really need to build a bridge peice between my shelves over the cabinet.

Local auctions. That's where I got all but one of my machines back in the day. They're like giant arcades where all the games have their coin doors wide open so you could check everything out. They always ended with the as-is games which is where most of my shit came from they rarely needed much work although I shocked the fuck out of myself on them more than once. Who needs coffee? (They started super early, plus the drive).

These days they're smaller, fewer and farther between but find out what company serves your local area and make plans to go. It'll probably still be worth the trip.

Lots of projection. Aftermarket peripherals are not always inferior. Mame cabinets are not always terrible. Cabs are not always a ton of maintenance. etc.

I am surprised you even own one with so much incorrect information.

You already made that clear. Real light guns don't need to be calibrated

>not only does he have like 3 shelves full of video games, he also has an arcade machine

Jesus fucking christ you really did it this time Timmy. How's that virginity monolith treating you? Does it let you sleep at night?

Craigslist. That is absolutely your best bet.
