So I am looking at having a local machine shop produce control panels for the MVS-U4 I am fixing up. Problem is the guy wants a minimum run of about 10 panels, so I am looking for interest from others to buy them before I give him the go ahead.

There will be the traditional 4 button Neo Geo layout and the 6 button Street Fighter versions made (see pictures for examples). Panels will be unpainted metal (no art) and will include both the top button panel and the lower joystick mounting panel. Note: the SF version will not have the two small center buttons in the picture. Price will be $60 shipped to lower 48. If there is enough interest for a larger run, the price might come down or we could add powder coating.

Please respond to the thread if you are interested and indicate which type of panel you'd be interested in. I am also posting this on KLOV, Neo Geo Forums, Arcade Otaku, and Hyperspin forums.

I don't have that cab. But if I knew that CP's dimensions and it would work for me, I'd be interested.
When you find great deals on Craigslist for CRT based cabs, exuberance :laugh2: can be a bad thing!
