Hi everyone. I’m new to collecting neo geo but I’ve been collecting/ video games (home console) for all of my life. Within the last year I started collecting arcades. I started of with the old school cabs until I got my first candy (Neo29) and then after that I fell in love. I love the community around Neo Geo and I’m happy to be apart of it.

I’ve yet to power them on since then. I think it may have been to Goldie power supply making them funky. Might be time for a new one. The Astro still need lots of work but when this weekend I’m going to work on it.

Thank you everyone! And no, no fighters in my cabs. I prefer platformers and shmups.

Some very nice cabs there. I've still never seen a Neo Geo Goldie in person. That Super Neo 29 and SEGA Aero City... Hummina Hummina! It's my dream to one day own a SEGA Aero Table. Gotta have a dream or two!

Laid down some carpet in the garage this weekend and it makes it look a million times better [emoji7]

Carpet is bad news bears for electronics. Do a little shuffle and ZAP, there goes a pcb.

They’ve always been on carpet/rugs and I’ve never had an issue.
