Hey Guys,
I'm thinking about buying this cabinet:
"Selling original Neo Geo Arcade game running its original MVS game board.
Mint 25inch Monitor, mint on both sides with side-art, working coin mechs. Arcade cabinet is in great condition. " - $600 Canadian

What I really want is a 4-slot but these things don't show up locally very often so I'm considering this one.
There aren't many pictures or details but from what you see what do you think of this machine?
The seller says it's in great shape but the joystick area doesn't look mint. It's probably just fine cosmetically but I've been looking at some of the pictures here of your cabs and many look way better (like new).
Can a 1-slot be easily converted into a 4-slot?
If so, what's a ballpark cost of the required parts?
How easy would it be to swap games from the front of the unit? If I got it I would have it backed up against a wall (or in a corner).
Would I be able to get a 4-slot marquee and is it the same size as the marquee's for the 1-slot?
Should I just hold off and wait for a 4-slot?
Also, what do you guys do with your cabs regarding game credit? I don't want to have to put in quarters and at the same time I don't want unlimited credits. I want there to be some challenge. Can you limit games to 3 or 4 credits? Would I need the UniBios in order to do something like this?
Thoughts?
TIA!
