Yeah wow Malenko. It was incredibly hard to find just one for sale! How'd you manage to snag three?

Be patient over time you can find a few......
Malenko I didn't know you had 3 MVS cabs...Technically I have 5.....1 I stripped for parts (bad water damage...the other is a future restore...
BTW thanks for the Mobo Malenko....I appreciate the hookup...

dude, what's with all the massive spaces? Please edit your comment so it doesn't take so much of screen.
I picked up my MVS yesterday and to my surprise, its a two slot MVS with Bubble Bobble 1 and Aero Fighters 3! Edit: I figured out how to open it.
To my dismay, my MVS seems to be in the casing of some other arcade cab. The sides are wood grain, not the classic MVS red and it's been retrofitted with new speakers and behind the coin slot is only the power supply and no typical box to turn it on and off with the service menu or anything. But the control panel and the labels are MVS originals and behind the control panel is a genuine MVS, there's no doubt about that.
But I've got another problem. Whenever I try to turn it on, it takes me directly to the service menu.
It runs a color test then a control test then a memory card check and then a calendar check, and then pressing start just loops me back to the start of the service check.
How do I actually play some games? I can't figure it out. Do I need to hold a button or combo of buttons for a set period of time?

It may be a dip switch setting...I'll let you know..

Please do. I've disconnected and removed the Neo-Geo MVS motherboard from the cab to take a closer look at it and it seems to be in great shape and dating on it seems to suggest it's from 1992. The metal casing has rusted a bit, but the PCB look great.
The second dip switch is flipped down in my case. Maybe it'll work if I flip it back up again? The dip switches aren't labeled as to their functions. There are a total of 8 dip switches.
