i got a call today from a store i called to see if they had a neo cabinet for sale.

turns out they have a dedicated 1 slot machine. with a 25 inch monitor, and a puzzle bobble cart with mini marquee. this is one of the common machines that is red that you see all over.


guy says he wants $750 for it. but there is some things to be considered.

1. he said he would deliver for free
2. everything works perfectly he says. but i get to look at it and see for myself anyway.
3. he said he would do any maitenence if i have any problems in the future for cheap.

does this sound like a decent deal to you all??

also 1 quick ?

do 1 slot machines have the select game button that the 2,3,4,and 6 slot machines have?

not bad...

Hey there,
I have seen a few magazine adds in some of my dads mags. Puzzle Booble 2 carts and cabs go for like $850 used.
So to keep it short, if you get to see the cab itself, check especially for...
-monitor burn in
-internal wiring
-power suply (still good, great?)
-and definetly out ward appearance!
Also, to my knowledge, I dont believe that the MVS 1-slot board, of any type comes with a select button in the wiring. But perhaps it is possible to add one, im sure it is. But what good would it be for a one slot board?
Good luck to you, hope you can get what your looking for!

Don't pay more than $450 tops for it even if it is in really good condition.

And no, the 1 slots don't have the Select Game button but you could add it with not too much work.

If I really wanted a Cab..and it looked/worked good + free delivery..Shoot I'd buy it..

I would of paid anything for a cab when I was looking for one..

You have to consider..
Can you get any other cabs in your area.?
How long have you been looking for a cab?

With the price of shipping it from somewhere else you'd wind up paying the same thing.
You can also check this cab out,whereas a shipped cab you have really no clue what your getting.
You could always try offering him to $650.00-$700.00..

I personally would never have a Cab shipped to me..
When I bought my 3 cabs they were close enough to pick up..So I went to see them and picked them up.


You could check it out and ask opinions about what it looks like here,etc.


(my answer isn't yes..I really don't know the situation of your area...It all depends on what else is available to you.
Look around for Ebay Auctions in your area..etc..

It helps to look around. If there's any arcades near you that have them just ask the owner if they'd be interested in selling it. I got a 2 slot converson for 150 with Sengoku and Baseball Stars.

Don't go with that just now, just look around and hopefully you can find a good deal.

That's very high. I bought my 1 slot 25" conversion for $350, and I think I paid a little too much.
