Does anyone know where I could get a used arcade machine at in Korea? I am looking to use one of them to build my own MAME cabinet.

fraid not mate, maybe you could ask an owner of an arcade in korea, at home the best place to look for that stuff would be in worlds fair magazine. Many wesites exist where you can buy fruit machines or arcade machines etc though i cant see them sending them off to korea, a friends pub recently bought an 80s packman table- sweet. when i get home and get my 1st pad, 1 room will have a pool table, a small bar and at least 2-3 games machines, used arcade machines in uk cost from 300pounds to 600

What a random question... and even more random that I actually have one I may need to get rid of sometime in the next 6 months.

PM me if you're seriously interested. To be honest though, for a hobby project it might be easier, cheaper, and more fun to just build it yourself. Plus, then it can be exactly what you want. Our cabinets are designed for trackball game play.

I've seen a few empty cabinets behind PC Bangs and Arcades. You could maybe try dumpster diving one if you have no other options.

Seems like that'd be the way to go. Maybe offer a hundred bucks or whatever to haul it away if you see one in decent shape.
