What a monumental fuck up.That does not appear to be Yodd...
This is the content of the issue though:
The Unico ULM 26 26 inch LCD Debacle
Update: I’ve reached out directly to Unico and I am working with them to fix these issues. This has been an egg in the face moment for them and they are serious about fixing this stuff. No ETA or timeframe, but it’s being worked on. Hopefully we can go from lemons to lemonade The Promisewww.retrorgb.com

I mean, the exact same guy sells Vewlix FCs for $1250 and Noir HDs for $1000 normally complete in stellar condition with full service so yeah... legit HD cabs are cheaper and readily available. You spend your money however you want but there are better alternatives.

So, I'm just playing devil's advocate, 'cause lord knows I ain't buying this shit, and I've been all set on the cab front for about two decades now, but you really gonna try to call what Cereth offers "full service"?
My last comment is a jab at Cereth, not a comment on the quality, price, or availability of this Unico thing in any way, for what it's worth.

Ah, ok, he's who we ordered our stools from.
My quote was from Cereth though, and I would rather have one of these dropped on me than work with Cereth again.
The way I see it, this will open the market to more options like this, and that's not a bad thing. This one may not be a hit, but my bet is that we'll see some options that are more appealing before long.

I got my Neo25 off craigslist for $250 over 10 years ago. I bought it with the intent to flip it for something like $700, but I brought it home and just couldnt bring myself to let it go.
Since then Ive bought and sold several cabs, including a Blast City and its the only one that has remained static. Id sooner sell my Chewlix, PS5 and cats before selling the Neo25.

Yeah, same here, but MVSU4. Got it for $400 in 2005. A fair number of cabs have come and gone since then - Two Big Reds, two Crown candy cabs, a Vewlix F, two Blast City cabs, a Mini Cute and three SQs. There have been a few times when I've considered selling the MVSU4, and who knows what will happen in the future, but it feels like a fixture at this point. I got it from Ken at the Gameroom shortly after he moved to Utah and the whole experience of going out to some backwoods town and seeing a warehouse literally full of candy cabs and PCBs... Just a wild experience. Great, great memories.

I think Crowin/Crown might be the same thing. I got a pair of them from a Tilt many years ago. It was $300 all in and it had a Tekken game that I sold on here for that amount. I later gave the cabs to a friend while I was living out of the US. He still has 'em.

Imagine what a vagina tastes like.
FWIW, the monitor in the Nova Blast is actually a new model, not the one with the resolution controversy.
This new one is 1440x1080 and has some new controls and tweaked colors, apparently. At least that is the what is claimed. The one person I have seen who actually has received a Nova Blast is 19kfox on youtube, and he did comment that it looks much better than the previous Unico 26 inch monitor. I also heard an interview where a Unico rep said they will be offering the new monitor separately as a "pro" version after the Nova Blast ships, and that it might cost a bit more than the old model (i.e. maybe $350?).
As for buying a Vewlix instead, well those weigh around 250lbs, are generally larger and require more work to hook stuff up. I know this is a pretty hardcore crowd here that is used to buying original cabinets, but for some like me the Nova Blast seems like a pretty cool option to have a compact sit-down cab in their home with minimal fuss, size and weight. I also really like the 4:3 display vs 16:9. The original Japanese cabs are obviously the best, simply because they are the originals, but they aren't ideal for everyone. As for price, this is neo-geo.com - since when do people here worry about prices. :-)
