Neo-Geo cabs and Me

[DKTheArcadeRat]

What can I expect to pay for one, where can I get one at a good price, and is maintainance on these fairly easy? Someone please give me some help on this subject, because I really love the fighters available for it, and want to pick them up and play them on my own cab.


Also, does anyone know when the Arcade Auction is in Cherry Hill, NJ?

Thanks
Dave

I'd recommend you look for a Candy cabinet (Neo 29 is the one I have) - they're newer, better screens, fully Neo compatible and they're easy as hell to work on.

Plus they're tiny.

Check out Matsu, he just got in a new shipment on super neo 29 cabinets.

Sweet. I hear good things about that guy - good suggestion.

Also, great avatar La4s.

How does one contact him? The question request button doesn't work. Is there much to do to convert this to a standard JAMMA cab?

Thats what I want to know. These would be ideal for people (like me) with small spaces if JAMMA is possible. I also really like that they're designed so you sit down while you play.

The only thing I wonder about is going w/a 4 button, or the one that allows you the 6 button config. Do many games aside from fighters use JAMMA+? I'd probably want to play more MVS games and classic JAMMA games than anything else.

Do you know what state he is located in? I'm definitely going to be picking up an MVS soon and I would love if I could avoid shipping cost.

Still working out details in email w/Matsu, seems he misses half the emails I send him :/

I've seen Neo Geo cabs go anywhere from $100-$400, depending on if it's a 1/2/4/6 slot and what games came with it. Maintenance on them is basically the same as any other JAMMA cabinet.

Ok, well, seeing as I would be/am a n00b to the whole arcade scene, idk what would be involved in that, lol. So yeah, just wondering if it is something that would be easy to learn or not. And I am more interested in the MVS cabs, even tho the others do look nice, i like the look and feel of the other better.

[La4s]

If you do ended up going to route of a candy cab, such as the neo or super neo 29, the cabinet is already prewired for a single slot MVS setup. So assuming you buy a wokring cabinet all you would need is the MVS board and game. Just plug the board into the cabinet and turn it on, it is that simple.

[La4s]

you can't beat 14.99. That is the best price I have ever seen on a new mvs adapter.

I bought myself a JAMMA > Frogger from those guys. Haven't tested it yet, but they were quick on the shipping (next day for me since they're in Vancouver)
