Neo Geo Newbie in SoCal

[herbertsmart]

Howdy All,

I recently bought 2 Neo Geo MVS 4 slot machines. I played these machines in the arcades back in the day but this is my first experience owning any. I have been active in the coin-op collecting hobby for about 8 years and have a bunch of other machines. I've been active on the KLOV forums since about 2005 and now that I have a couple Neo Geo machine I figured I'd sign up here to learn about them.

Thanks for any advice!

Welcome to Neo geo .com, "come for the games, stay for the drama". Lol. Good to see you over here too. This is really a good forum, regardless of what anyone else says, you just gotta take it with a grain of salt and not take anything too serious. Congrats on grabbing those 4 slots, this is definitely the place for the Neo. Lot's of knowledgeable people and information on all things neo geo related.

Welcome and at least you didn't have a 3rd cab strapped to the roof, Romney style.

[SNKorSWM]

Yeah, the previous owner did a good job on the restoration.

 

[Jonmkl]

Oh my, those are lovely!

First welcome! And nice investment! Woodies or not, those are beautiful cabs! Buy/sell/trade with members on here. Everyone trades MVS carts around as if its their purpose in life! Hope you enjoy your stay!

I don't think these were restos, I believe they are HUO

You have a great finds there! Don't sweat what anyone says. It's very rare to find neo cabs in that condition. If I were you, I wouldn't trade them, plus those are a set like book ends. Get a nice little collection and leave it as it is, you need nothing more, you personally are good for life when it comes to neo geo.

I'm with this guy, those things are the bomb! You scored man.

Those are super clean hope mine ends up being that clean! Enjoy them!

Nice score! It's definitely not common finding the cabs all original in that condition.

 

[herbertsmart]

I may still call the distributor to see if they would release who they were sold to originally. That way I could confirm if they are HUO or not. I will for sure keep at least one of them, but space is an issue so one may be sold. Droid PM sent your way.
