Its a dedicated 19" gold 2 slot cab, the sides used to be woodgrain and the cpo would be a gold mvs cpo. Good cab, the monitor is at a nice angle for someone 6ft tallish.

Anyway I know its tough but be patient with cabs, find one that you really like and wait for it, don't jump on something that may be a disappointment down the road.

im really diggin this cab a lot more than the other. i sent him an offer on it. considering i still gotta drop $200 for shipping. but i think this is one sexy cab. when you say dedicated, does that mean i cant use it for other JAMMA games? i mean obviously i might need to fuck with the CP. But i think dedicated just means it was made for Neo right? anyway thanks for the input bro, appreciate it. this one im really hopinh i get..and ive been bloody patient for 21 years now :blow_top:

Well dedicated just means it was built to house a Neo, the 2 slot is still JAMMA though so you can plug and play other jamma games (3 buttons standard, and might need to mod the sound to mono but that's minor)

Also consider picking it up if its not too terribly far to VA (it might be) you wouldn't save a ton of money but pickup is always cheaper than shipping.

the only problem with pick-up for me is time and ways of getting down there with a truck. VA is kinda far from Rochester, NY. And yeah, im just looking at JAMMA games so i can rock Simpsons the arcade game and X-Men :buttrock:

how much do these normally go for anyway?

Around $50-ish each. You can check the past prices for stuff on E-Bay by clicking "advanced search" and checking "completed listings only." That should give you a good idea of what a certain PCB is selling for.

Agreed..




Me= I'm a little weary on that monitor color...Do I see a lot of red or is that just me?..Reason I'm weary of this is this may be adjustable from the "back" of the monitor..or it may be a failing cap...I'd need a monitor techs opinion..
Cap kit-Installation =$$..
I'd ask for more monitor pics..

I wonder what the details on the shipping for $200.00 is...(still might have to be picked up from somewhere..

I don't think it's a boring generic black ....As the seller stated..I like black on this cab..............................................................

The guy I got my replacement Neo Gold CP overlay may still have some(it's been awhile)..if you wanted to put one on..

If I had this cab...Since it's black I'd put on a red-white Neo Cp overlay,The Red Side Art Stickers and find a two slot neo red large marquee and cut it to fit..
Now that would be unique..

If your going to ship a cab anyway, get a Japanese one from Jack Tao, or that other guy (name excapes me) Price will be about the same, but you get a way better machine.

E-mail this guy:
jack@rbmotoring.com

Ask if he has any neo cabs

I know the pain you're going through, but BE patient. To be honest with you, most arcade cabs out there are UTTER SHIT. Don't get anxious to buy and then get a bad case of buyer's regret when you pick one up.

If you don't mind the drive, find yourself an auction and go. These cabs can be had for half the price you're looking to drop even without shipping.

a 19" 4-slot machine sold for $225 at the auction on Saturday with a MS3, Sengoku, Samauri Showdown IV and KOF98. Look at SuperAuctions for good deals.

oh man, what the fuck should i do now? the ebay cab which is small and a nice little cab that would fit perfect in my room guy offered me $600 plus $200 shipping for it. And i inquired about a cab from a gentleman on these boards and said he would deliver this 6-slot to my house for $750...the problem i forsee with this is the size of the beast. It would fit in my room but this thing is huge. Plus i already placed a bid on the one on ebay. Goddamit, what is your guys professional opinion? what is the better cab?

The Ebay link above is not working.. :confused:

I like the 6 Slot..But I recommend getting and taking measurements of the cab and where it needs to go through before you decide ..It's huge.
The only reason I don't own one is I can't get it through my doorways. :(

You can retract your bid on Ebay if you want..I don't do it often but you can..

the ebay auction is the one from my first post chris. But do you think the 6-slot is a better run for my money? i know i have a perfect spot for it in my room. and i have big doorways thankfully.

I'd go with the 6 slot all day...A nice big cab with lots of arm room for two player fighting games.
I've had to pass on three of these already due to me not being able to get it through my doors..
It's a big,heavy cab..but AWSOME!!

$750 Delivered..

By isn't the delivery a bit far...(?)..What is the details on that..?
