Where to buy a Candy Cab in the U.S.?
« on: November 06, 2007, 06:20:52 pm »
... near NYC, specifically.  I've done a few searches here and on eBay but most seem to be located overseas.  One of these days I'd like to own one of the Super Neos...

I'd swap you a  crappy plastic/paper thin metal piece of crap for an original American machine any day mate.

I LOVE my candy cab. There's a dealer here in Utah that stocks the 25" and 29" Super Neos. They're perfect for a nice NeoGeo setup. I have a 4 slot in mine.

How much does he charge for them?  I'm guessing shipping across the countrry would kill the deal though...

I take it from this discussion that they possibly make good cabinets for modification?  If the monitor/display comes with them, it might not be a bad price for a ready-to-mod cabinet.

The monitors are gorgeous!

The ones I'm talking about are in excellent condition with brand new monitors. That's why they are getting in the $300-$400 range.

Are most of these types of cabinets sharing the 2-joystick/3-button control panel layout?  I think that would be a major limitation to conversion-to-MAME if the CP real estate is too limited.

A new 29" monitor (which I think is really a 27" one) would make the $300-$400 price very reasonable...
