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

the Blast City copys are reported to have Tri Res monitors

Ah, the Super King2. It looks like one half Versus City and one half Blast. I kinda like it. Yea, on coinopexpress, it says it comes with a Tri-sync.

srabelpawz · « **Reply #43 on:** March 01, 2006, 12:30:22 am »

did you ever get any prices on some of these cabs? i'm interested in one of the superstar2 cabs. this way us guys on the east coast can have an idea of what we're working with and try and work something out.
thanks

I could use a nice, big tri-res monitor. If anybody else wants an empty cab, maybe we could split one- monitor for me, cab for you.

I'm located within driving distance of DreamArcades.

Yeah the Super king 2 is the one I have the most interest in simply for that Tri Res monitor.

PoDunkMoFo · « **Reply #46 on:** March 01, 2006, 11:59:04 pm »

I might be interested as well if I could see some pricing.

AmericanDemon · « **Reply #47 on:** March 04, 2006, 12:08:07 pm »

Just bringing this back up.

Bloinkxp · « **Reply #48 on:** March 05, 2006, 08:33:02 am »

Put me done for the sk2.

DreamArcades · « **Reply #49 on:** March 07, 2006, 02:22:10 am »

I haven't got the pricing yet. I've sent two e-mails to my importer, but no reply. This has happened before when my importer is visiting the grandparents. There's no e-mail at their place. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't even power as I think they live far outside the city.

As soon as I get pricing I'll post it.

These are Chinese models and have 15khz monitors. I think 31khz versions may be available for a few, but I'm not sure.

Still interested

I really want one also, but I fear that shipping will make it not worthwhile.

Silly questions: it is only the empty cab and monitor, without internal components (games) right?
If I want to mame this, what would I need to interface with the computer with the monitor? Would a normal video card with video out work? I currently have mame out to a regular 25" tv through svideo, and I was wondering if I need to buy anything extra to make the transfer to one of these candy cabs.

THanks.

probably would need an arcade vga to change the frequency

I think you have like 3 questions in there. 1) the full cabinets will have monitor and jamma harness 2) normal video card with video out will not work, you'll need an arcadeVGA card or equivelent that outputs 15khz (unless you are going for the Super King 2 which can handle 640x480 vga) 3) You will also need a jpac to interface the controls to your computer.

Personally I want to know if the flatpack option for these cabs comes with control panel and jamma harness. Also want to know if its actually cheaper to just order these on our own as I don't want to pay for it shipped in bulk with someone elses 200lbs cab.

Oh! I deal with Joey at excellentcom all the time. I'll find out. Thanks Mr-M!

Goz · « **Reply #57 on:** March 15, 2006, 11:04:14 pm »

I had sent Miss Joey at Excellentcom a meesage a day or so ago inquiring on specs and price and haven't heard back yet.

TravistyOJ · « **Reply #58 on:** March 15, 2006, 11:30:32 pm »

Wouldnt shipping be crazy on that? Excellentcom is in hong kong. Let me know, I am interested too

Thats why I'm asking about the flatpack shipping option. Basically the cab is disassembled and shipped as a "kit" without the monitor. Should be significantly cheaper shipping, but we'll see.

nullb0y · « **Reply #60 on:** March 16, 2006, 05:15:49 pm »

oooo empty cabinets would any of them fit a 36" tube?

Goz · « **Reply #61 on:** March 17, 2006, 08:22:00 am »

Along with my request for $ I requested spec and dimensions of the various cabs especially the super king and so far the only reply I have recieved from them says 'Will look into it"

You would think that if they offer cabs that this type of into would not only be readily available but on the web.

My request was much simpler since I asked for price of just one cab shipped without the monitor, and also got a "will check for you" response. I bet they just partnered with another supplier of those chinese cabs, and have to ask them for the details.

zakk23 · « **Reply #63 on:** March 17, 2006, 04:27:06 pm »

These things are going to be a big unknown, and you may never get good answers.

For example, the Naomi Universal replica cabinet. Is it a good enough replica that offical control panels will fit correctly? And if the cabinet comes with all the wiring, were they kind enough to use the same type of connector for the control panel wiring? Not to mention is it wired as JVS or Jamma etc etc.

I'd probably be willing to order one without knowing any of this, but if you're not the type to get your hands dirty, you run the risk of getting something that isn't 100% plug and play.

Dave: I bet the shipping is cheaper, but the problem is it's cheaper in comparison to the full assembled cab with monitor. The coinopexpress rates for shipping single cabs are pretty steep, and even if you half that... Some of the 'kit' panels still need to be pretty big, I wonder if it would even be shippable via EMS.

When (if) you get a response, let us know, I'd be interested in ordering a without-monitor cab myself.

Mr-Megalo · « **Reply #64 on:** March 17, 2006, 08:32:41 pm »

Zakk,

yes an official Sega CP will fit perfectly, I breifly owned a Naomi clone last year, firrst job was fit a new CP .

NO its not wired to JVS - if it was wired to JVS, it would cost a fortune, JVS or "JAMMA2" as it is known to some, uses some fairly expensive I/O boards, stereo amps and PSU's - at best the cabinet will be wired to JAMMA with a cheap generic china brand PSU.

to be honest, when I got mine, I had to more or less rebuild half of it anyways to sort out some earthing issues, monitor discolouration, new CP, extra wiring harness and generally making sure the cabinet all sat flush, originally it looked like it had been thrown together and nothing sat right (CP surround for example was not flush with the monitor plastic surround)

IMVHO - pop a tri res 29" monitor in, use a decent PSU and a new CP instead of the china brand knock off buttons/sticks and they make a good cabinet, not a patch on the real Sega cabs tho but they do do a decent enough job structurely.

slight note, the Naomi clones weigh approx half as much as the real deal

Goz · « **Reply #67 on:** March 23, 2006, 12:29:11 am »

I've not heard anything back from ExcellentCom either.

Dave_K. · « **Reply #68 on:** March 23, 2006, 12:54:30 am »

Haven't herd anything either. They are probably trying to decide how much extra to charge to make a larger profit off the original distributor (especially if multiple people emailed them around the same time). Doh!

infiniteomega · « **Reply #69 on:** March 30, 2006, 04:10:09 pm »

Bumping because I want one too and am on the east coast as well.

twitami · « **Reply #70 on:** March 30, 2006, 06:12:21 pm »

I would KILL for one of these. In fact, I have posts all over the place looking for Candycabs. mainly for a NeoGeo version, but I could probably use a generic for that. I am on the east coast as well (Baltimore, right near a port!). Let mek now if this goes anywhere. And if anyone knows where I can buy a Neo Geo Candy, please tell me!

i have to do some searching but there is a guy in NY that has a bunch. who knows maybe someday i'll sell mine but i doubt it. by the way i'm sure this thread is dead and should probably sent to post hell. anyone agree?

nullb0y · « **Reply #72 on:** March 31, 2006, 07:20:07 am »

yah ive decided to give my candy cab obsesion a rest and really go forwards with my showcase

DreamArcades · « **Reply #73 on:** April 03, 2006, 09:08:48 pm »

Sorry for the delayed reply. I've been swamped and it doesn't look like I'm going to be able to put together a power buy right now.

I may try again in a few months, but right now we are just too busy with the BCA, E3 and a couple of other trips coming up.

Sorry to disappoint everyone,
-Mike

Count me interested if you decide to resurrect this project. I don't care if it takes a year.
