Possibly, but there was a working one on RGVAC recently that the guy couldn't sell at $450 (although I would pay that locally in a heartbeat if I had the room) to the point where the seller was going to trade it for a Vectrex, until he regained his senses (also reported on RetroBlast).

Cheers.

I made up my mind I'm going for the Red Baron if it's in good shape... maybe one or two others if I can move them.  I am thinking the Lethal Enforcer might have the best hardware of the bunch - I'll check it all out and let you all know.  I don't know if anybody is nearby, but if someone's looking for something specific and I can pick it up cheap, let me know.  I don't have room to keep a bunch of these units indefinitely.

Well, I only usually give myself around $300 to spend at an auction anyway.  I never spend past my means, and if I can't get what I'm wanting, then I wait for the next time.  I do have a family to feed and bills to pay.  ;D

That Street Fighter II looks like a Dynamo cabinet with the pull out control panel. If it is, it's a pretty nice cabinet and a good candidate for conversion.

Tell me more about this dynamo cabinet.. that sounds interesting...

Generally speaking are there some cabinet types that are more appealing?  I guess so.

The Neo-Geo cab I have has this really cool curved metal playfield that opens outward.. made of steel instead of wood.  I really liked that.. UNTIL I had to cut a 2.5" hole in the steel for a trackball (what a nightmare that was).
