Is this a good deal for a Sega Astro City Cabinet?

Maybe people are assuming that the japanease are taller when they see pictures of them playing. lol

Seems a great deal for the price, considering there isn't any major screen burn on the monitor.

Layout of the buttons is a bit oddly angled, well compared to mine anyway.  More importantly though, are the joysticks and button in good condition?

As for size, I'm nearly 6'2, large build and totally love this cab the way it is.  Fold out chairs are perfect for use with these cabinets.  Better than standing at the bigger cabinet IMO.

As for being ugly, well, I think thats a bit harsh.  I've only had compliments from friends who have seen the cabinet first hand.

I have a big toolchest on wheels that I use for a bench. It is the perfect height, and it allows me to keep easy access to all my game fixin tools.

I've decided not to buy the 29" Sega Astro City cab.  I am in Los Angeles.  If anyone wants the guy's contact number, let me know.

And as for the guy mid thread who said, "What kind of moron expects for sit down cabs to be bigger?"  First off, that's a lame thing to say.

Secondly, I was more referring to the control panel width on the 25" Candy.  You see photos on Ebay, and there is no perspective.  The distance from P1 joystick to P2 joystick on the control panel makes two player play very close quarters; ,like two inches closer than on the X-Arcade's panel   :o

Whether it's a sitdown cab or not, it should be at least comfortable for 2 players to play on.  That was my point.

i know this is an old thread, but wow... i thought most folks on this board knew about candy cabs. $375 for an astro is an OUTRAGEOUS deal. and most machines in the far east ARE sitdown, so that's why they're so small. hell, if it was still available, i'd drive to pick it up for $500

needless to say, it's the best one to have in the house... especially if you live in an apartment (like i do). i have a super neo 29, and i'm 6' 1", 180lbs... and i play 2 players all the time with company sometimes twice my size with NO space problem.

this wanted to comment on this old, funny convo :)
