Title: FS: 29" Candy Cab in Virginia Beach! Near mint. Minor monitor work needed!
Post by: jahya on September 23, 2010, 04:48:42 pm
Hi all!

I purchased a 29" Candy Cab brand new a year ago, and have to make some room in my new house.  It's a Xiong Ba (Macrown) w/ 29" 15/24kHz CRT and 2P 12Button CP sit-down cabinet!  I would personally replace the joysticks and button with your weapons of choice, as the default ones are a bit lower quality than Sanwa/Seimitsu.  I have all of the original vinyl stickers for the sides and all panels (though for some reason they say the monitor is tri-sync), all keys, JAMMA harness (already wired), power supply, and a coin bucket.  An outlet adaptor is included.  The only thing missing is a coinmech.

The "minor monitor work" is a replacement of the monitor board and installing an isolation transformer.  I already have the replacement monitor board and the isolation transformer.  Basically the cabinet worked perfectly for a couple seconds when it arrived, and then the monitor suffered from horizontal collapse.  Replacement parts were sent to fix the issue, and I have just not gotten around to installing them.

I'm installing the parts this weekend (or if you love to tinker, you can request to do it yourself), and running a full check on the machine specifically testing with an ArcadeVGA/JPAC combo (not included).  It has some light smudges from shipping that a Mr. Clean magic eraser will take care of.

I'm asking for 550$, as I've shipped it around a few times (Tried to sell this in the midwest, buyer fell through).  It was purchased for 1000$.  Pickup is preferred, though if you want to shell out the ridiculous cost of shipping and someone to load the thing in a truck then feel free.

holy crap. I live in VB too. I just bought a candy cab from a guy in florida. I had to ship it up here (total price with shipping though was only about $550, so I got a good deal). It's too bad though, because it would have been so easy to buy one locally. What are the odds???

What part of VB do you live in?

I realize you may still be pissed about me backing out on this. I still feel bad about that... I'm a member over at Shmups forum and I can put up a thread with a link to your cab if you want. It doesn't tate, so it may not get a ton of interest, but it's possible someone still might be interested. Let me know, or you can tell me to go to hell.
