hey fellas...been surfing your site for a while and thought i'd finally give you a post to tell you to keep up the good work on the site. i'm glad i'm not the only sick f*cker who obsesses over this game still.
i just got RBI arcade in an upright unisystem cabinet; i live in south elgin, bout 1/2 hr from dekalb, so if you've ever got a group of games going, or wanna get one started, give me a hollar.

There's a 'South' Elgin?
yeah, it's like the other elgin, without the fear of being raped by a 250lb man named ramon
Man, there are a lot of RBI players in Illinois, did Tengen do a lot of marketing in the Midwest or something.
Welcome E-Smooth! Where did you get your unisystem?
Found it on ebay...The guy was located in Montgomery, near Aurora...So I avoided the shipping charges and payed a reasonable $300 for it
Wow that's a great price, some will pay that much in shipping alone...
How is the height on those cabinets? The Pines crew find theirs a little small, theirs looks short in the pics. On our cocktail version, there are battles for inside elbow position...
I'd say it's close to 6' tall, 2' wide & 3' deep. Seems like a standard sized cabinet you'd find in the arcade. Plenty of elbow room for sure. No burns or anything in the monitor, so I'm pretty happy
Even with the standup machine, there is a little problem with space, once in a while we bump, plus sometimes I feel that I'm not getting a straight on look at the screen.
