Waiting for my Naomi Universal...

[ShmengeTravel]

This has to be the first thing I've actually sat outside and waited for since I was about 5 years old.

I don't know why, I'm just really anticipating it's arrival. To make a long story short I need a dedicated cabinet for my VF4:Evo kit. Since VF4:Evo didn't have a dedicated US cabinet (and there was no way in hell I was using that ugly blue space hog US naomi universal), I opted to get a regular naomi uni. There are a few things I'm missing atm, and they are as follows:

1. The VF4: Evo control panel
2. The VF4: Evo instruction card (US), how to play card (US) and marquee (Euro?)
3. A Naomi Universal marquee holder

But in any event, I'm just really looking forward to it's arrival. Unfortunately all the info I have atm is that it shipped tuesday of last week going from CA to NY, and I do not have a tracking number for it (which is killing me!) But if anyone has any of the parts I'm looking for that they're willing to sell, please let me know! I just wanted to let everyone know how much of a little kid I feel like again.

Here's to hoping it arrives all in one piece!

how much??? $$$$$$ shipping included

 

[ShmengeTravel]

Well it's a new naomi, hardly used, after shipping was about $300 (just kidding) lol

Are we talking a jap/euro naomi here or the big nasty wood ones?

Good look with the marquee holder, they go for like nearly $200 in the UK. Just for a bit of plastic!


Ps. good choice of cab, allt he cool people have naomis

Hey while I have you here let me ask you something, that orange light right above the monitor, is that an orange piece of plastic or is it an orange piece of glass?

 

[J69]

An orange piece of plastic. There are some rare green ones out there too on the HOTD machines. I looked into having it dyed a different colour but apparently orange is right at one end of the spectrum so to dye it green or blue would be next to impossible

 

[ShmengeTravel]

The only thing about the orange cover is I heard they're pretty easy to shatter (especially during shipment), so in the event one breaks I was curious how hard it would be to get replaced

No no... you've got it twisted, all of the cool people have Astro Cities... didn't you get the memo

PS: You naomi owners are lucky SOB's

 

[J69]

Well id love an Astro or AWSD but you got no hope of getting one over here!

Yeah its not fair, you guys have an abundance of Naomi Unis, while the US has very few. The most commonly seen ones have some crazy gimic hardware attached to them (lightguns, driving wheel, etc.). Its hard to find a uni with a normal sega control panel. If I'm not mistaken, the only game that saw an official US release in a Naomi cabinet was Virtua Tennis.

How long do you guys think it should take to get here? Figure it shipped last tuesday and it's going from CA to NY... I'm worried because I the seller hasn't responded in over a week, and I havent had a call from the shipping company either... I just hope everythings alright

Edit - remembered he said he was going on vacation on the 23rd, which explains why he's not answering his emails. Nevertheless I'm stuck the next 3 weeks with no tracking number
