Is this a decent deal?

It does look kind of like yours Alex but its diffeent the arc around the monitor part is different as well as the cp area.  I only know this becuase I have been looking at taito cabs all day!

I just dont know what to do now I was all ready to buy if it was a 25" but I dont think it is now. I just dont know if a 19-21 inch is worth it to me at this point.  The guy is like a 10min drive from my house though so I'm tempted.  Oh well I have the rest of the night to think about it so more suggestions would be cool.

It wouldn't be hard to clean it up and sell it for a profit. Sell it as movie memorabilia to a Robocop fan, or just Ebay it.

WOOT!!  :o  It actually has a 25" monitor in it!  I have no idea how they fitted a 25 incher in there but it must be tight.  I think I'm going to buy it then hopefully I can talk him down to 180 that would save me a couple of bucks which I need becuase my car was broken into the other night and I need a new window  >:(

You can actually shoehorn a 25" display into most classic cabinets, it will just BARELY fit between the sides. Dedicated Neo Geo 4-slot cabinets have 25" displays, and they are the same size as most classics. Also, some classics were available with an optional 25" display from the factory (Galaxian for instance).

I would jump all over that one. $200 is always a good price for a working game. My best friend has a dedicated Robocop and I believe he paid $180 (plus auction fees, which puts it a bit over $200). But his only has the 19" display, and the sideart is totally missing. So yours seems like a good deal to me.

That is a perfect example of a good cabinet to Mame. It is a conversion already, it has a nice large display, and the price is decent. One request though. leave the artwork intact. It appears to have a nice marquee, bezel, and sideart. No reason to fix what isn't broken. Sure the marquee and bezel can just come off, but that sideart dies once it is removed.

Sweet! Sometimes I don't mind being wrong. Congrats on the great find, 25" monitor and all.
