I only have the Neo Geo AES right now, and got myself a converter so I can buy MVS carts. I've acquired a few so far and I'm planning to get more in time
I got offered to buy an arcade cabinet to play my MVS games on, but the thing is that I know NOTHING about arcade cabinets and am a bit afraid of getting one (you never know they might bite!) no but seriously, I wouldn't have the slightest clue how to change boards or PCB or get converters, fix broken shit like screens or buttons and what not... I've always just been a console person, plug and play ^_^ but arcades are intriguing
I thought I would share the pictures of the various cabinets the guy has for sale and ask for your expertise on here! I have no clue what they're worth or which are "originals" or if they're any good.. and so on..
I've always had my eyes on that big red Neo Geo cabinet, since it's so beautiful! But I don't think I will ever bump into one of those over here in Sweden... so I could settle for less..
Only one of the cabinets apparently is set for MVS only, it has a 4 slot motherboard (is that what they call PCB?), and it looks like this:
I've never seen a cabinet looking like this before.. is it a standard model in any way? It looks very "metal-ish"... I'm not too fond of the look and the guy wants $700 USD for it.. is that reasonable?
The others need a change of PCB to take MVS.. they look like this:
and I've never seen these models before either.. any intel on these?
Last but not least he also has the cute little Atomiswave and Egret2 cabinets for sale at $930 USD.. I've seen this type before, but I think Blast City looks a liiiittle bit better.. I don't know if there's any differences in performance between these models, if any is superior to the other? And what they're actually worth...
These ones would of course also need a change in PCB to take my MVS carts.. and that's basically all I would want to have an arcade cabinet for; to play my Neo Geo MVS games ^__^
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
