There is an arcade seller in Anaheim California, can't remember the name. Once in a while they sell Candy Cabs. I think it's right off the Santa Ana Freeway. Someone here who lives in L.A. may know the name.

You're probably thinking of Arcade-Infinity. They no longer sell arcade stuff.

That's the one! Damn, no longer, eh? Sigh.

what did you end up paying, if you don't mind me asking?

Just under 1500 including freight from california to CT. If you have to freight them two is the way to go. The shipping price is virtually the same if you get one or two.

I actually talked to Ken the other day, he has a 25" and a 29" Neo Candy in stock for VERY reasonable prices. I'm almost tempted to grab the 29" for myself, but I'm holding out for a Taito or a Sega candy cab. I already own a North American neo geo cab, otherwise I'd be all over that.

No idea what condition his Neo Candy cabs are, the prices DO seem kinda low, so they might be real restoration projects for all I know.

Yeah seconded, Matsu is the man. I dunno why jorge has beef with him, maybe its cuz he couldn't figure out how to tate it :lolz:

Well, in all honesty, I totally feel Jorge on this issue. Matsu's is my friend, but what's right is right. It was negligence on his part, and he admittedly apologized for it.

I think he asked for it to be pre-tated & did not get it in which case he had a fair point & as for most people this is not a easy job & owning a Impress myself I can understand this, unlike on some other cabs such as the Astro city there is no monitor frame so it can be tricky to rotate the screen without breaking the tube & not everyone is cut out for technical stuff.
