shakenbake Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 First off I want to thank everyone here for the tremendous outpouring of support. VPcabs.com has taken off way faster than I had imagined. Orders for cabs have been coming in much faster than I anticipated. I decided to make this official and take things to the next level. Yesterday I leased a 3000sf assembly room with a nice unfinished woodshop area in the back. I am determined to offer the best products at the best possible prices while providing crazy good service. I have a few brand new products that I will be launching soon now that I have hired some extra help and have the room to get things done. My goal over the next 6 weeks is to have at least 5 VP2000 systems in stock and a few of the new VPcabs pinball systems(pics coming soon). Please feel free to offer any advice or ideas. I want my products to be developed and driven by the people here who love to play Virtual Pinball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottpe Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Wow, that's awesome shakenbake! Glad to hear that there's so much interest out there. Seems that pinball may be on the rebound, which is great news for all of us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikekim Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 good luck on the business venture... we could really do with something like this in the UK, but i don't think there is the same level as interest as in the US.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shakenbake Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 Wow, that's awesome shakenbake! Glad to hear that there's so much interest out there. Seems that pinball may be on the rebound, which is great news for all of us! I couldn't agree more. I am a huge pinball fan. My brother owns a very large arcade here in town and I've been lucky to get to play some great machines(just picked up a TOTAN last week) without having to pay for them!! I really didn't think there would be so many people enjoying this hobby. I'm real excited to see all the new developments that are taking this more mainstream.

DeeGor Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Sounds awesome. Do you eventually plan on stocking all of the parts needed? Or primarily flat packs, built systems and custom items? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakenbake Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 I'd like to stock a little of everything. I have a ton of stuff in right now just not on the website yet. I'm thinking of offering a complete cabinet minus displays and computer for the folks that want to pick their own. It will include all hardware, a real DMD with PinDMD2, buttons, wiring, glass and all trim painted in black for $2499. Just add your monitors and computer.

evil eye Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 That's awesome man, congrats and best of luck to you! Btw, I haven't forgotten about your offer to make my wiring harness. My builds are all on pause, as we are having work done to our basement, but you will certainly have my business. We'll be in touch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeGor Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 What about just cabinet hardware kits like that other place has? Those seem to be pretty popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakenbake Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 Once I get caught up on cab orders I will start stocking up on the hardware. I have a few ideas in mind for a hardware kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeGor Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Awesome. If you have them by the time I start my build, I'll be purchasing from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakenbake Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 I have most things in. Feel free to send me a list of what you need and I'll get some pricing for you.

shakenbake Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 The latest shipment from Mameman. These all sold last week so I'm keeping Greg real busy. I can't stress enough how fantastic the quality of the cabinets are. My father In-Law came by yesterday and he is never impressed by anyhting I do. It's the first time I've ever heard him say the words amazing and my name in the same sentence lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
