Very nice looking cabinet. Almost makes me want to get one to go along with my other machines. :)

It cleaned up very well. It wasn't nearly so clean when I first got it. I'll bet I spent honestly 10 hours cleaning that thing and then waxing it (yes, you can get appliance wax).

Whoa! That's sweet. I'd like to get a Candy to go along with my traditional 1-slot but that could be a bit of a problem as the the wife has always been cool about my hobby but another cabinet would probably be assigned to the garage -- either that or me that is. . <img src="graemlins/mrt2.gif" border="0" alt="[Mr T]" />

OK Galford Forever, since you went and had to show us those beautiful shots of your mighty fine cabinet , it time for the usual questions...

How much was it?
Who did you get it from?
Will you give it to me?
How much was shipping?

Enquiring hippies want to know.

Looks great Joe! Thanks for sharing with us. Appliance wax, I will remember that. Btw, I’m currently looking for a Super Neo 29 4-slot Candy.

Thanks for the feedback guys :) . I got it from someone local (I had to pick it up). It was $550, including a 1-slot motherboard.

Sweeeeeeet candy! I have the same exact model, except mine has a 7 button configuration on each side. Anyone know where I can find a replacement flourescent light for the back?

<a href="http://www.arcade-infinity.com" target="_blank">www.arcade-infinity.com</a> has those. They might not come with a board though.

Wing Nut - replacements are 12" fluorescent bulbs which can sometimes/usually be found at Home Depot or Lowes. Barring that you can order online (I used <a href="http://www.lite-house.com" target="_blank">http://www.lite-house.com</a> ).

Then simply unscrew the panel on the back of the cab & switch out bulbs. One thing, be sure & check the fuses too, that may be the prob rather than the bulb......

Lookin' good! Don't be ashamed that you wax it, I also waxed my Neo 25 too! I love Neo machines, but when they look super nice, it makes it even better I say.

Congrats!

Very nice cabinet! Looks awesome! What kind of wax did you use. What is the name of the wax?

The things a monster. It weighs about 230 pounds! Luckily it's got wheels on the back.. but if you have to lift it watch out! I'd like a red mvs sometime, but I can't imagine trying to move that thing!

As for the brand of appliance wax, it's called Jubilee. It worked real nice.

Garg, can you get replacement starters for the lamp at this place? I couldn't find replacement bulbs at any of the stores nearby so I ended up replacing the entire lighting unit. If I could find a replacement bulb and starter I'd wire up the old one again though.

Thanks Garg. I checked Home Depot a few months ago and all they had was a ten inch bulb. I'll check a few more and hit Lowe's as well.
