meh this is a side project and not MAME related. I already did the fun stuff like gutting the cab and scrubbing it clean then coating the inside with primer. I then scrubbed the MVS metal part then painted it red, so it looked neat. I still need to paint the front and get the vinyl for the sides and front redone. Anyone have a stock/repro Neo Geo CPO for sale? TO DO LIST: buy & install new matching locks Clean the insides Prime the insides clean and repaint the over under door repaint the 2Slot MOBO case print/buy mini marquees buy & install MVS vinyl buy install CPO replace joysticks & buttons buy and install external memory card reader (and phone jacks) replace EL lighting with florescent/LED lighting maybe replace the CPO I got since its not for a multislot buy more MVS games! first got it: before I painted the inside: after paint, and I moved the board closer to the front, so I can swap games by opening the CP: a few from the opened CP: cleaned up wiring, and some games installed: SamSho II and marquee: Marquee: those mini marquees are printed from http://www.arcadecrusade.com/gallery/v/minimarquees/ and I still need to replace the blown EL marquee lights and put a florescent fixture in its place. |

Nice... :applaud: I have a 1-slot mobo, I'd love to get my hands on a Neo Geo cab to put in. That link to the mini marquees is nice too. I had one for my SamSho 3, but I can't find it now. |

Looks great! Here's my 4-slot MVS setup. I have it in a Japanese candy cab, and the only things left that I need to do is to replace the marquee light and get a new set of keys and locks. |
| Malenko:
I *LOVE* the candy style cabinets, I'd prefer it over what I have. I still need to change the locks, clean and repaint the over under door, get a control panel overlay, new sticks, new buttons (I re-used old ones I had) and I need to paint the front and sides... then of course buyand install new side vynil. oh and I almost forgot I need to find a mem card reader and head phone jack slot thingie too. Im never gonna get it done :p Im in no rush to make the machine pretty though, I can play it and thats all that matters right now. Any ideas where to get a CPO cheap? |
| Jeff AMN:
Hmmm, doesn't mamemarquees.com print overlays for the Neo Geo cabs? If not, you could ask around the neo-geo.com forums to see if anybody has any NOS or repros for sale. There's a VERY healthy buy/sell community over there. |
