I bought my New Astro City from Paul Richards - richardp171@yahoo.com. He's somewhere in Cali, forgot exactly where though. Overall he was really helpful and responded pretty quick to the 4000 questions I had.

Matsu is indeed the man. However atm the only cabs he has in stock are the pimp japanese atomiswave sit down cabs. Contact him though to be sure.

I have a MVS with some screen problems :(
but I ordered a 1p AW cab from CoinopExpress,
it will be here tomorrow.

have you got pictures of your 2pAW cab?

@droid is that the only cab you think he has?
I am really leaning on BIG's opinion on a Astro City.

^quit a bit i can't realy tell you if i think it is worth it or not yet because like i said eairlier it has not arrived. $1495 for cab+ $250 for 2 player cp. shipping to terminal was $143 to my door was $245. i chose shipping to door. the astro's were 400 or 500 i forgot and the windys were 500 or 600. i am kind of thinking maybe i should have got one of those and used all taht extra cash for games? idk hopefully this cab will be a worthwhile investment.

He charged me $425 for my new astro city, and around $145(?) for shipping. I lucked out because I picked it up at the airport and the shipping company was moving locations the day before I picked it up. To make a long story short, I didn't pay for the shipping since only the driver and another guy was there when I picked it up (except for the $20 tip for his help loading it in my truck). Heres what it looks like:

Thanks for the compliments - thats the condition I got it in. It's pretty white, but the flash is definetly helping. It's a 6 button cabinet but I took out 2 buttons and bought these button caps for the holes since I'm using it for an MVS. I didn't want to confuse people with 2 dead buttons, plus it gives it a cleaner look. Maybe I'll take a pic and post it.

Hi Alpha,

Yes I visited Matsu a couple weeks ago and AW was all that he had. He may get more astrocities or ?? when he gets another shipment, however be prepared for the price to go up from the $400-475 range he offered them in the past. Seems the prices of cabs in japan are on the upswing. After you receive your 1p AW (congrats btw), if you are interested in converting it to 2p using in the same 2p (egretIII) control panel shown in the above pictures, hit up Matsu, he has them in stock. That's where I got mine.

Regards,
Droid

cabs I own:

Neo19
Capcom Impress
Sega New Astrocity
Japanese AW SD cab w/egretIII 2p cp

Nice. The egret3 2p cp doesnt look as funny as I thought it would since the colors clash a bit. I havent gotten around to installing mine yet, but it looks like I'll have to make some time to do so. Have you thought about switching ball tops and buttons to orange, green or white to match the cab? It might look good or it might be perfect the way it looks now. Dunno ;)

well i will make that desicion when i get the cab. sounds like it would look awsome though. i do not know anything about hardware though so i might not have the skills to do it? if switcing the sticks and buttons is not very hard or i can find a tutorial i will defiently consider doing it.
