Picked up a neogeo 4 slot today with 3 games for 100$ samurai showdown,world heroes and sengoku.
The cab is alittle rough and unsure it the 4 slot even works as there is no power supply to test it hope to start working on it soon but need to finish my bartop first, this will be my first resto

Ditto on that. I've been living on Craigslist to find one locally for quite some time. Keep us posted.

Thinking of replacing the vinyl with laminate the 2 I'm looking at are spectrum red and stop red.

Would wood glue be ok for laminate? never used this stuff befor.

You would be suprised what you can pick up over here. Slapaham [picked up a Neo Geo] the other day. You could always make or convert one yourself too. [This] is one I finished converting earlier this year.

  the monitor started making a hissing noise the other day and after checking it over looks like the flybacks casing is cracked. anyone know where I could buy a new one? model number 25k7193

[SirPeale]

Good for you catching it early!  A lot of people let it go, until the fly goes, taking a lot of the chassis with it.

There are many places you can get a new fly from.

Bob Roberts
Chad @ ArcadeCup
Zanen (I think)

And others I can't remember right now.

Replaced the flyback today, man that was alittle scary

Replaced the flyback today, man that was alittle scary 

Heh. Nothing's worse than to try and adjust a flyback that has a hairline crack near the pots and have it arc to you fingers and shock you, and scare the  out of you...I always change the flybacks on the K7000s now...I've seen many fail as of late.

anyone happen to know what size t-molding I need? It's a dedicated 4 slot ver. 2
  this cab has 2 different size t-molding 3/4 on the bottom and 7/8 up top

[ccmathome]

got the new cp overlay, buttons and joysticks installed.



almost done striping the vinyl off the cab, just need to remove the coindoor and paint the cab

[ccmathome]

And 3 coats of paint later I have this, cant wait to put the new tmolding and decals on

Put enough coins in until it rolls over to 000000

[ccmathome]

Now for some before and after pics. Thanks to eccs19 for the awesome decals and arcadeoverlays for the cpo

[SirPeale]

Looking good so far!  Don't forget to clean the marquee.

Are you going to repaint the coin door too?
