How much and where from?

I have a friend that collects pinball machines and old video games and he said he could get me an SF2 vanilla or CE (not original cabinet, so just different decals/paint on the outside) for $200 all in.

Considering how many quarters I've pumped into those machines over the years I think it sounds like a pretty good deal, I just need to clear a space for it now.

Not a bad price... I would like to get something like that. I need the joystick for Zangief's pile drivers. I can't do the 360's reliably enough on a little stupid gaming pad. Of course I could just buy the joystick for the console/pc

I had a 6 button joystick for a PS2 version of Street Fighter, but I found the weight wasn't right so certain things were still difficult to do. Zangief's piledriver is a perfect example, everytime I tried to do the motion it would lift the controller up and make it hard to complete. It worked ok, but was still far removed from the real thing.

Once I have the cabinet and the innards, you can replace the innards pretty easily with any other game, and for lower cost of course, so eventually I could gather up all of the SF games (and others) that I like.
