Looking for Arcade Games
So, I am on the hunt. I am looking for arcade games. These arcade games will be for a church / youth group room. So, they need to be in good condition, and decently priced. This is a church so money is tight but we do have some. It is necessary that these arcade games be what teens would like but also ok to go into a church.
The church is located in Calgary, Alberta. Shipping costs from the USA can be high, so that it a concern. I am hoping to find some in Alberta that could be picked up. I personnally would like 1 pinball and 2 - 3 other games.
Normally I would not post something like this but I thought it might be fun to include our readers. Any tips on arcade game hunting would be appreciated.
This evening I have looked on ebay, and ebay.ca. I am currently looking on craigslist calgary for arcade games. I did want to let you know that I am not loking for an xbox or anything like that. I am looking for actual arcade game units. Any tips?

Look in your phone books under vending. Usually these companies have arcade games for sale, at least that’s the way it is in the states.

I recommend you build a MAME machine.
Buy an old arcade machine for about 300$ and get a computer geek with minimal skills to put the software end together. You would need minimal fabrication and electronics experience as well.
