Hi! I just found this forum through Google while doing some research, so thought I should introduce myself. As per this thread I am hoping to build a CPS2 cabinet in the near future. I used to own the below VideoWorld cabinet, which I bought in approximately 1999 for just £50, and sadly sold in 2007 (and have regretted it ever since!)

So I'm no stranger to arcade machines, but haven't owned one for many years now, so am looking forward to another project and learning the current 'best practices' (eg I assume finding a CRT will be nigh on impossible so will have to settle for some kind of flat panel.)

Welcome mate, still a good few cabs out there with CRTs although you might be a bit surprised by what a decent dedicated machine with a CRT might set you back.

You'd probably pick up a generic jamma wired wooden cab with CRT for under 500 depending what you're after.

Check out the For Sale thread.

Welcome aboard.

Ah cab sale regret. Horrible isn’t it. Hopefully you’ll get one you like even more. Nice generic CRT as suggested. Don’t go LCD for CPS2 it really doesn’t do the games justice.
