Hi all - Name's Sal and I've been a huge Neo-Geo fan since launch. As a kid, like most of you, I've always dreamed of owning a Big Red one day.. Well, on December 2012 I found my pride and joy on Craigslist for $200 and restored it for less than that amount.
I've started collecting MVS carts since I've owned the cab (a few months ago) and I've managed to get the games I love the most. Many of them are lower 3 digit serials and all have almost mint labels w/serials intact. I also started collecting PGM 1 & 2 and am a proud owner of Spectral Vs Generation IGS cart (I was VERY lucky to get my hands on it). As you can see in the pics, I ran out of space for my carts and other NG collectibles and will be adding another shelf (possibly a glass encased display case).
I've posted a few pics of the restoration - lucky for me, the front bottom of the cab where serial is located was in amazing condition so i only needed to bond-o and paint the sides (Original decal Art will be applied in a few weeks) I've done a Sanwa Denshi joysticks w/Octagonal upgrade along with Universe chip Upgrade and a customblack diamond kick-plate.
I have to thank all you you along with the boys over at NG4L - I've learned a lot on these forums and met some pretty awesome people.
(Please excuse the shitty camera phone pics)
