I went to the auction over in Kalamazoo today. It was a good day to be looking for a Neo! I saw a total of 6 dedicated Neo cabs plus 2 other conversions. Of the dedicated there were a 1 slot, 2 slot, 4 slot, and 3 mini 2 slots! The minis were mounted on top of these metal boxes that made them about as tall as the regular cabs. Only the minis had any signs of life. The others all had issues. I got the 4 slot for 150. After I got it home I found out why it had no picture; the monitor chassis is gone (that's what I get for not going early for the preview). I could hear the games play blind but after messing with the carts to try and fix a sound problem, I got nothing now :( I cleaned up the carts and will test them out on my super gun tonight. The carts included are Sam Sho II, KOF 94, Puzzle Bobble, and Metal Slug. I also spoted a Slug slot machine. It was the first one picked out by the winner since they gave the high bidders choice. I wanted to snap some pics but Super Auctions frowns on it so I chose to play it safe. I'll get picks up of my 4 slot. I'll need to decide if I want to keep it, fix and sell it, or part it out.

Quick picture of my newest cab. I found out that the monitor is missing its chassis after I got it home (never miss the preview period of these auctions). The wiring was hacked up and my buddy came over and we cleaned it all up. They had it wired so the main power switch inside the coin door actually controlled the light for the marquee instead of the whole unit. :lol: The carts all work on my super gun and 1 slot pcb, but I think the motherboard just needs a good cleaning since some of the sounds get messed up when I try them in the cab.
