So I picked this up last night. The wood is in really great shape, but it's a bit of a mismatched setup. - It has a repro marquee for a 4 slot and a fluorescent light. - 4 slot board. Came with a 111 in 1 - older layout control panel with working counters - An overlay for the newer layout(buttons higher) and an extra metal control panel w/overlay but without holes for the counters. - Monitor looks pretty good to me. - Power switch behind coin door does not work(I believe this is bypassed due to incorrect, but working, power supply) - Coin door works but could be repainted - I don't have the key for the marquee lock I'd like to restore this, but I have a few thoughts. - I feel like I should swap the 4 for 2 slot - What goes here to make these work? - What color paint should I use for the red? Acrylic? - Good place to get EL panels and boards for the marquee? - Good source for side art - Source for Headphone/Memory Card label - Source for Marquee key I would appreciate any input and guidance.

if you get a 2 slot motherboard, the side of the board lines up with the memory card and headphone jack holes in the front. |

Fortunately, I was able to find a marquee and and overlay for the old layout. I've never ordered from here before. so I'm not sure of the quality. http://www.arcadeoverlays.com/neo-geo-mvs-2-slot-video-arcade-marquee/ http://www.arcadeoverlays.com/neo-geo-mvs-old-style-control-panel-overlay/ Couple of thoughts.. - I'm having difficulty finding a properly cut plexi piece to protect the overlay. - Should I adhere the overly onto the metal deck? It comes with adhesive on the back, but both the spare overlays I have, for the newer layout, do not. |
