Author Topic: Any interest in Candy cabs? (Read 10521 times)

I would be very interested if the price were right. There has always been a lot of interest in these "drop shipment" orders, but alas its never been enough. I am not too picky on style, but I would prefer one that has a 29" Monitor and 2 players with the SF layout.

Although if you can get a list of cabs he can get I am sure there would be a bigger interest.

I'd be very interested depending on the problems that always crop up with these drop shipments:

1) What would the prices be?
2) Where are you located, and what would shipping from your area to my home be?
3) What models would you be able to get?

I really, REALLY want a candy cab, but it always winds up being cost-prohibitive when everything is worked out

If you can get us more details, there's a chance I might be interested. I'd be most interested ina 29" cab as well, especially a SUper Neo 29.

Check http://www.coinopexpress.com for some prices

There are many types of candy's but if the cabs were nice and at a fair price I'd buy a couple from ya Mike. Since you are somewhat local for me. Japanese candy's or Japanese cocktails would prolly sell well.

Any chance of you posting a pic of the candy that you got as a tester?

As has been said before, I would love to get one, but the shipping costs always put it beyond the price I'm willing to spend.

Same here. $300? Sure! $300 with $275 shipping... uh, no. $:-\$

I'm guessing that you're on the west coast? Bummer.

That's the problem I ALWAYS run into.... stupid NJ being on the wrong coast.

DreamArcades · « **Reply #9 on:** February 22, 2006, 03:59:25 pm »

OK, I'll try to get some prices and post some pics.

For the guys on the east coast we might be able to have several shipped to one location and everyone could drive an hour or so to pick them up. This would proably mean a big savings on shipping.

DreamArcades · « **Reply #10 on:** February 22, 2006, 04:01:51 pm »

Also, does anyone know of anywhere that sells them in the US? I'd like to get an idea of what they go for here. The problem with coin-op express is shipping to the US is extremely high, so it doesn't give me any real idea about what the retail pricing would be on these things.

If this order goes through, you all can check out some Candy cab pictures on my site. http://candycabinetcity.tz4.com/

Thanks!

The only place I know where to get them is from some guy, "Matsu", in CA. Here's his latest:

Quote

Matsu is getting another shipment of cabs in two weeks. Here is a list of what he will be getting in this shipment, and how much they are going to cost (pick-up).

1. Astro City $450 * 5
2. New Astro City $475 * 2
3. Neo Candy 29" $500 * 2
4. Cyber Lead $700 (high res) * 10
5. Aero City $350 * 9

That is his next stock... give him an email gamemachine2003@hotmail.com

I will consider buying on depending on cost of machine, model, and shipping cost.

dek · « **Reply #14 on:** February 22, 2006, 09:45:53 pm »

I know richardp on here had a bunch for cheap i.e. 200-250 each iirc.

Paul Richards and Matsu sell the same cabs out of the same location. Paul has some of the older 25-26" neo's and aeros in the $200 range. Matsu's prices went up $50 in the last couple months, but are still a good deal. He also has super high end Egret3s (Atomiswave version) ones for over $1K.

Mike, I hope the supplier you have is a very good personal friend. If you are going through the normal hongkong distributors, you better be very carefull as I've herd horror stories of them jacking up prices, sending beatup/broken machines, adding fees at the last minute. Matsu does well since he has personal connections.

If you do decide to order, try to find Egret2s. I'd be interested in one (or more) of those.

I've never seen one. I could proably get one with a blank control panel. But it would be a little work to drill it.

DreamArcades · « **Reply #23 on:** February 25, 2006, 02:46:49 pm »

I'll try to get some pictures posted of the available cabs this weeekend.

DreamArcades · « **Reply #24 on:** February 27, 2006, 04:27:32 am »

Here's some photos. Seems to only be Chinese cabinets, no Sega or Taito cabs. But they do have some other odds and ends...

DreamArcades · « **Reply #25 on:** February 27, 2006, 04:30:38 am »

Prices to follow is a few days.

I think those only *look like* Naomis. That said, I'm curious if anyone knows the quality of those?

I read that the monitors are good, just not as good as REAL japanese nanao monitors used in the legit cabinets

* Goz drools....over the cabs

Depending on price you have at least one buyer. Thank god you are semi local (within driving distance)

stellarola · « **Reply #31 on:** February 27, 2006, 09:37:16 am »

Here's a picture of Mr.Megalo's Naomi Uni chinese copy...

I really like it, I'd be interested if the price was right.

Goz · « **Reply #32 on:** February 27, 2006, 09:53:43 am »

Great taste... same one I'm eye balling. I miss my Universal.

AmericanDemon · « **Reply #33 on:** February 27, 2006, 11:06:58 am »

I liked the Super Star Cabs and the Super Kings. Hook us up with some prices. Tax season is upon us!

carazy · « **Reply #34 on:** February 27, 2006, 02:14:34 pm »

If the price is right I would be interested in an east coast thing.

Mr.Megalo can confirm, but I believe the monitors in the chinese copies are 15khz only, where as Naomi's are Tri-Res.

That would be a bummer. $:-\$

Mr-Megalo · « **Reply #37 on:** February 28, 2006, 08:23:12 am »

yep the LS sound and Naomi clones are all China Brand Tubes and China Brand 15K only chassis.

without sounding harsh. . . . . the cabs themselves are cool, the monitors. . . . . well. . . . . I personally never had any "real" problems with them except they needed degaussing several times with a degauss wand (the degauss coil on the China Brand monitors are soooo thin)

the problem with the china brand chassis is they DONT like to be rotated, over at our forum we had several peoples who have had chassis problems/flyback problems after tating the LS screens, I guess the weight of the flyback and the soldering on the cheap chassis played a big part in it.

dont get me wrong, they are great cabs for first timers or someone who wants something that looks minty fresh compared to a 2nd hand cabinet, but after awhile your gonna want to start thinking about replacing themonitor with something better.

Thanks for the clarification Mr. Megalo. People should note, that ALL the cabs listed are chinese knockoffs, so they will all have that same chinese monitor/chasis.

Actually I believe you can order these chinese cabs without monitor (just in Kit form) and have the cost/shipping MUCH cheaper. Mike you may want to look into this option.

Mr-Megalo · « **Reply #39 on:** February 28, 2006, 11:07:20 am »

yes you can order the "cab" only - they are flatpacked aswell.

the Blast City copys are reported to have Tri Res monitors
