Hello Everyone,
I am even closer to getting the better part of a container purchase from coin-op express together now, and wanted to extend the following offer to anyone interested:
If your interested in anything from coinopexpress, and want to save LOTS of $$ on shipping, I can help.
Contact me via IM, or in this thread, and I can add you to my upcoming order...
The order will be shipped via cargo container into San Francisco California, and distributed from there.
I know the people outside Ca are thinking "How much will it really save me in shipping, if it has to get shipped twice?"
Well, compared to their(coinopexpress) "small quantity" shipping rates, I think the savings could be quite high if we put a large enough order together.

Already some additional response!
Keep it coming!
You know you guys want one of these!
http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/pcbs/kit/Galaxy_Cabinet_Kit_3525.html (http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/pcbs/kit/Galaxy_Cabinet_Kit_3525.html)
Shipping anywhere from coast to coast once it gets here is only $50!
A brand NEW cabinet, for less than $350, to your door.
Not a bad deal if I say so...

How much to ship to Canada?

P.M. me with your address, and I'll get you a estimate.

Do you know if these come with the frame for the monitor? I have a 29" tube, but no frame. I noticed the page mentioned it could accomodate multiple sizes of monitors. This usually depends on the included frame and mounts. Every frame is going to be different for every machine, anyways. Would you be able to mix & match in your order? If so, I may be very interested!
-
Also, how many units do have ready to order, and how many more do you need?
-
I am picking up a 29" candy cab tonight, I can report back and tell you if it uses frames on the tubes or not.

Is it new or used? I found a guy in Houston selling one used for really cheap, but he's not selling it with the frame. That costs extra, and that price isn't posted. Unless I wanted to McGyver a frame for a 29" beast of a monitor, I'm kind of needing that frame.

Yeah, that one. I have a 29" monitor, and though I'm not the biggest fan of candy cabs it looks like the best option for me.
You know what? Maybe it's not 29"... maybe it's 27"... crap now I gotta go check.
-
That guy
That auction is annoying. First the guy takes the monitor and chasis out of the cab. Then he proceeds to sell them in sepearate auctions. Now if you try to buy the monitor he will only throw in the chasis if you use the buy now price which is like 450 dollars. GUtting a perfectly good cab and selling its parts to the highest bidder :(

dont suppose there are any of these on the east coast

Mine is a Neo 29 and the monitor does have a frame.
-
Mine is a Neo 29 and the monitor does have a frame.
Mind snapping a few inside/outside pics of the cab?
-
Have to charge my camera batteries.
-
I am curious if this cab has the easily rotateable monitor...
-
Ok, here is my Neo 29 running Uo Poko. Note, this is not Mame, I actually have a Uo Poko board I bought from coinopexpress.
-
The control panel. The controls seem very low quality to me, although truthfully I don't notice it when playing games. When and if they wear out then they will be replaced with leaf stuff.
-
And the question that is on everyone's mind.
The answer is yes and no.
It is hard to rotate the monitor the first time as there are 6 screws inside holding the main plastic front in, then like 12 screws holding the black bezel to that, and then another 4 screws holding the monitor in, and you have to remove the monitor remote control board from its location.
But, once you do all that then it is easy, and for home use you don't have to put any screws back other than the 4 holding the monitor.
-
Awesome info.
Thanks for the pics!
-
ALso on this model the marquee area has a slide out marquee holder than allows you to quickly and easily change the marquee displayed. But that area is much smaller than standard marquees, so you would have to print your own, as you can see the Neo mini marquees are actually too tall for it.
-
I also have a Super Neo 29, but mine has a different top. It is supposed to house a LCD screen and camera (removed before I bought it). I have wondered about rotating the monitor, but was a bit scared to try it.
-
Any of you guys guys know what a neo 29 type 2 is?
-
I musta seen 2 dozen different neo29's in my search for a sitdown cab, hell if i know which one was the official 2'nd gen. I think you would be hard pressed to find out for sure as well. But they all are fairly similer anyway. But i prefer sega and taito cabs,
-
Ok, here is my Neo 29 running Uo Poko. Note, this is not Mame, I actually have a Uo Poko board I bought from coinopexpress.
Well this answers my question about what you did with your Uo Poko board! Is the board any different than the MAME version?
-
In regards to a container..... can we order different items for the container? I'm interested in a different product than that Galaxy.
Potentially one of their Megalo cabs.

Correct. The container can be mixed contents.
Parts/PCB's/Cabinets/complete games.

In that case you should REALLY stock up on their dirt cheap joysticks and other controls.

I wanna order those pop n music buttons,think you will be interested ??
-
Here's another similar cab:
http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/pcbs/kit/Rock_Cabinet_Kit_3349.html
Go to the bottom, it shows how it disassembles. How much do you think shipping would be on one this?
-
a 20 ft container holds 90 of them, so find out what it costs to ship a 20 foot container and go from there.
-
Oh wow. So we are trying to fill an entire 20' container?
-
any interest in setting one up for delivery on the east coast?
-

Unless your planning on ordering complete cabinets/with monitors, the additional shipping from Ca to the E. coast shouldn't be horrible.

I think I'd definitely be interested a 27" version if I could get a full estime including shipping to 75070.

I'm interested in one as well.

Ok everyone,
To make this easier for me to coordinate, please IM me, or email me with the item(s) your interested in. Please include monitor size(if applicable) and coinops product I.D. numbers. As well as your shipping information.
I will be speaking with coinopexpress on monday (again) and will have more information for you all then.

any idea on a rough total cost to get one to massachusetts?

Don't hold me to that estimate quite yet. Although I believe it will be fairly close.
I will have a "actual" price available later once I hear back from Coinopexpress.
-
Man, I would love to get a Neo 29 but I just don't have the money for it and the shipping to NJ. Oh well, here's to hoping someone does a group order again in a few years :-\
-
My suggestion to whoever is in charge of this is to do it pre-order style. Talk to coin op express and figure out your costs and everything and then simply let people order until you can fill the container, but the most important thing is this.
Make them pay first. Otherwise you are going to have a bunch of people backing out or vanishing once money time comes around.

That is the general idea at this point.

any new info? has anyone ever put one of these kits together? are there any special tools required? also what will we need to do to mame this guy, just some interface for the controls really?

Good news everyone... We're moving forward with the group-buy.
The pick up location would be in Santa Rosa, California 95404.
Here's the breakdown:
Galaxy Cabinet kits:http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/pcbs/kit/Galaxy_Cabinet_Kit_3525.html (http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/pcbs/kit/Galaxy_Cabinet_Kit_3525.html)
This is the cabinet kit ONLY! No monitor, power supply. Shipped unassembled.
Price $129
Total cost if picked up locally $300
Total cost shipped within the continental US $350
Rock City Cabinet kits:http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/pcbs/kit/Rock_Cabinet_Kit_3349.html (http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/pcbs/kit/Rock_Cabinet_Kit_3349.html)
This is the cabinet kit ONLY! No monitor, power supply. Shipped unassembled.
Price $159
There is a issue with shipping these kits: The size of the box they come in, exceeds UPS and fed-ex's maximum size, making the shipping overly expensive.
Total cost if picked up locally: $330
Shipping these will require unpacking the kit, and repacking into two boxes.. Approximatly $120 within the continental US.
The other cabinet kits (cabinets with monitors) are priced as follows:
Galaxy 21" $280
Total if picked up =$455
Shipped within the continental US(Approximate) $705
Galaxy 25" $295
Total if picked up =$470
Shipped within the continental US(Approximate) $720
Galaxy 29" $340
Total if picked up =$515
Shipped within the continental US(Approximate) $765
Rock City 20"/21"/or 25" $395
Total if picked up =$570
Shipped within the continental US(Approximate) $820
As far as the other items go, here's the catch:
The only items that can be included in this group buy are items located in China. This excludes many of the listed PCB's, and other used cabinets.
The shipping and prices on the other items totally depend on the overall quantities ordered.
In the future, depending on the sucess of this group buy, I will arrange a Japan based buy including the PCB's and other cabinets.
All orders will need to be PRE-PAID, including all shipping, before the order is placed.
These prices are only applicable to this group buy. Keep in mind that coinopexpress normally wants in excess of $600 to ship a cabinet to a individual.
-
what's the min order size we need to shoot for. maybe we can get a link from front page of site.
-
I think I still need around 10 kits, and if possible a few more full cabinets. The container is more than half full as it is.
-
Dangit- the individual monitors all say FOB Taiwan!
Anybody want to buy a cab + 25" monitor kit and sell me the monitor?
-

Taiwan is still China...They just don't want to be China..:-)
Does he mean stuff in the container can only come from mainland China?

Yes. Mainland China only on this order.
I know that rules a number of desirable items out.. But it was the only way to keep the shipping reasonable.
As I said before, if there's enough interest, I would be willing to put a Japan based order together as well.
-
Would I have some time to cough up the money for a kit? Like a couple weeks or do you need the money sooner than that?
I first saw one of these candy cabs when I picked up my monitor from a local guy. I fell in love, and my upright cab is really doing a number on my back.
Now I got to figure out what to sell ;D
-
I'm still interested in a 29" Galaxy kit (that's W/O monitor). When do you need the money by? What methods of payment are you accepting?

I'd like to get a hold of some more of these joysticks (http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/parts/joysticks/Spherical_Joystick_with_Microswitches_3304.html) for a project I'm working on, but it says the minimum order is 1200!!! It also says that there are 60 per carton. Does this mean that I could order 60 with the group buy no problem?
-
have they given info on how long product will take to reach you once order is placed and then how long it will take you to reship to the non-pickup people. i understand it's a lot of work and don't expect immediate turnaround but am curious as to timeframe.
-
I'm still waiting for my quote about shipping to Canada.

You could count me in for a few of those too if you don't want to buy all 60 yourself (assuming buying only 60 is an option)?

Correct. You can ignore the minimum purchase on that item. What ever quantity you want/need would be fine.

I believe the shipping time from there to here is about 2 weeks minimum. After that, I would be turning the items around and re-shipping ASAP (I don't want to deal with storing the items for very long...) So that should be less than a week before it leaves my location, and normal UPS/fedex ground delivery time from there.

From What Coin-op has told me, the only items missing from these "kits" are the monitor, a power supply, and transformer. (Of course you will need the associated wiring/fuses/etc.)
The shipping quote was straight from UPS's website by the way.
It is in a 44" X 29" X 12" Box weighing approx 70lbs.
Shipping from Santa Rosa, Ca 95448
-
Any idea of when we'll all be able to pre-order everything?
-
GGKoul: Don't forget to assume there will be added taxes and broker fees when it crosses the border. UPS doesn't use the cheapest of brokers. On a $185 us monitor I ended up paying $89 cdn in additional fees not including shipping.

Never, ever use UPS to ship to Canada, unless you are made of money. I don't think there is another company that is as expensive.

Ahh, You have good points..
The shipping prices I quoted obviously don't include duties/etc.
For those in canada, I'd be willing to explore other shipping options.
-
You might try DHL of FedEx. I have had good luck with both of them. Of course, we are talking about packages that are too big to send US Postal Service.
-
Any progress with the ordering plan?

Sorry Everyone,
But due to a recent medical emergency, I must postpone this order for at least a month.
I will let you guys know when it is ready to go again.

No rush, take your time. I won't be able to touch anything arcade related for a while anyway (I'm getting married next month!).
I asked CoinopExpress for a shipping quote on two cases of the joysticks I'm looking for and they said $389 via UPS plus a $25 charge for not meeting the minimum order. It's not bad I guess, but I would imagine the group purchase would bring this down a lot.
I'll wait patiently and see...

Notice anything different? The "Min Order" used to be 90 (entire crates), now it's only 1. And there is a link to all the available shipping options at the bottom:
Shipping methods by courier available include:
a. Air Parcel - Air Parcel Post
b. EMS - Air Parcel Express / Express Mail / Speed Post
c. FEDEX - Federal Express
d. UPS - United Parcel Service
e. DHL - D.H.L Worldwide
f. TNT - TNT Express
Does this mean we can all do individual orders now?
EDIT:
Nevermind, I'm a moron. The "Min Order" has been 1 for a quite a long time. The "archive.org" link is from 2003. Ignore this post. :(
-
yeah you could order one i think but had to pay super high freight cost. i wonder if those are new options and would be cheaper though?
-
The whole point was that a group purchase would make it more cost-effective.
-
Has this order been placed yet? I'm in the bay area and would like to order one of their crane games.
-
lindart,
If it is too late, you could most likely pick one up at the Super Auction next month at the fairgrounds fairly inexpensive. There are usually a few crane games on hand.

im pretty sure this order never happened.. i think i was gonna get a candy cab
-
Correct.
This order never occurred. The interest wasn't high enough for a full container purchase.
I would be willing to reconsider doing this order again if the interest was there. :)
