Here is my second addition to my home arcade. It is a Nintendo Vs. Sit-Down Game. As you will see in the pictures, one of the two monitors is fine, but the other one needs a Cap Kit (at least that's what I think it needs.) If anyone has any ideas or good sites to get info. to fix this monitor let me know. Also, as you will see in the pics, the Vs. Super Mario Bros. mini marquee is very faded from the sun, so if anyone has a spare that I can buy, let me know. Or, at the very least, can someone send me a scan of theirs so that I can print a new one out for myself. Thanks again.

It's kind of hard to look at because the pictures are so big. Still looks nice though. And good god, did you buy that Neo Geo cabinet brand new? It's looks minty fresh!
Congrats on the purchase. Buying them is very addictive. Like Lays Potato Chips and tattoos, it's rare to find people who have just one.

Yea, I thought I made the pics smaller, guess not. If there is a mod who can edit the pictures to make them fit better, feel free....I tried.
As for the Neo Geo cab, I just got lucky. I got both cabs from the same guy. I paid $350 for the Neo and $125 for the Vs. I was amazed when I first saw the Neo and I almost thought it was brand new. Up closer you can see the nicks in it (and there aren't that many anyway), but it is still in amazing condition, no screen burn what-so-ever.
But your right, it is very addicting. I already want another one, but I don't have the space or the money right now. I know I'll end up getting another anyway though.

Nice machine. I can relate to you here I have that machine with golf on one side, and mario on the other. hahaha. You are going to have tons of fun with Mario bros.

I passed up a Vs cab just like that but blue for $50 Cdn because i had nowhere to put it.

I'm not sure if there's code the forum would recognize to resize the pictures for you, so a moderator can't do that. You'd have to use a photo editing program and re-upload them.

Ah, yes, I have one of those too. Say, tholly, how did you get yours moved into your house? I'm asking because mine has been sitting in the back of the garage since I got it in July '02.

I was lucky...both this game and my Neo Geo fit right in through my basement door. I only had a little bit of space on each side, but it made it. If it was just a little bit bigger it was gonna have to stay in my garage also.
