Cabinet opinions: 4 Slot Big Red vs Regular 4 Slot vs 2 Slot vs 1 Slot? What should I be paying for these in good condition so that I don’t lose money if I need to resell? ��
It all depends on condition. Is the monitor in good shape, size of the monitor. I wouldn't concern myself too much with the mobo since that could easily be changed. I wouldn't pay more than $400 for one but I don't what a nice condition big red goes for.
The monitor is 35", seller says it's in good shape. You're the second person that mentioned paying $400 for one. Asking price is $600, not too far off. Problem is I'd need to have this shipped so it would come out closer to $1000. You don't know anyone in NJ selling a cabinet do you? haha

That's nice and looks to be in good cosmetic shape.
Did you ask him about the monitor?
It all depends on you and how bad you want it. I think 1k is way too much. I own a neo candy cab. Don't own a big red anymore and I'm not looking to sell mine.
Craigslist is your best bet but it seems like people want a bit too much for them. How far is the seller, can you take the drive?
No can do on picking it up. Yeah exactly, everything I've seen for sale asking price is at least $800. Neo Geo candy in NJ, that would be nice.
there's no way that monitor is a 35 inch'er.

These days, get which ever has the best looking/working monitor. The v3 4 slot. also has outward facing speakers instead of down under the marquee. The dedicated cabs outside the mini and Goldie all have a 25 wells Gardner as stock. The 2 slots and above will have the memory card/ head phone ports. I would say a 2 slot will be your best bet for reliability and is normally cheaper than the 4 slots.
Are the outward speakers better or worse? Actually the 4 slot big red is the cheapest I have found at $600. I'm looking at two 2 slots and both are asking $1000. There's a 1 slot for $800.
Reason I say for reliability is the 4 slots and 6 slot especially tend to have slot issues. the v3 4 slot and 6 slot are taller than the others. More of an issue with transporting though than using. The speakers is really an aesthetic. Though I’ve seen many of the v3 marquees warped or cracked more often than not and harder to find a replacement. Main reason I say cheaper is many sellers will equate more games = higher price. If you can get a 4 slot for cheaper, I would jump on it. I wouldn’t buy it before fully testing it though.
600 seems reasonable to me.
Driving isnt an option? you can rent a uhaul for pretty cheap and make a vacation out of it.
do any arcade machines have 35" screens?there's no way that monitor is a 35 inch'er.

I thought they don't come any bigger than 29"?
There's been a few 33" cabs from both sides of the Pacific. The MVS-U4 came in a 33" version.
In an American big red? Or was this a special kind of candy?
