Picked up a neogeo 4 slot today with 3 games for 100$ samurai showdown,world heroes and sengoku.
The cab is alittle rough and unsure it the 4 slot even works as there is no power supply to test it hope to start working on it soon but need to finish my bartop first, this will be my first resto

Ditto on that. I've been living on Craigslist to find one locally for quite some time. Keep us posted.

Thinking of replacing the vinyl with laminate the 2 I'm looking at are spectrum red and stop red.

Would wood glue be ok for laminate? never used this stuff befor.

You would be suprised what you can pick up over here. Slapaham [picked up a Neo Geo (http://forum.arcadeotaku.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=10316)] the other day. You could always make or convert one yourself too. [This (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=93936.msg1058040#msg1058040)] is one I finished converting earlier this year.

Good for you catching it early! A lot of people let it go, until the fly goes, taking a lot of the chassis with it.
There are many places you can get a new fly from.
Bob Roberts
Chad @ ArcadeCup
Zanen (I think)
And others I can't remember right now.

Replaced the flyback today, man that was alittle scary :lol

Heh. Nothing's worse than to try and adjust a flyback that has a hairline crack near the pots and have it arc to you fingers and shock you, and scare the :censored: out of you...I always change the flybacks on the K7000s now...I've seen many fail as of late.

Looking good so far! Don't forget to clean the marquee.
Are you going to repaint the coin door too?
