Title: Neo geo cabinet 300, is it worth it?
Post by: Crono22 on February 19, 2012, 01:41:54 pm
Neo geo cabinet for sale near me for 300. It looks in decent shape I saw it in person. I was told monitor works. Debating on picking it up and cleaning it up etc for my nephews.

4 slot cabinet. I believe it included 4 games. Id have to call back and find out. I would just install an 160 in 1 game cartridge. Dont want to ruin a functioning neo geo cab

$300 isn't bad for a 4 slot machine if it has a 25" monitor. You won't get much lower than that on a 4 slot without getting really lucky.

May have an issue with a multicart and a 4-slot. Do some research beforehand.

Yea I'm reading about that some say it has issues with anything above a 2 slot. Others say it works fine  with 4 and 6.

I haven't figured out the various combinations of multicarts and boards yet. And then you have the PITA marquee lighting for the big red 4's.

FWIW, I have a 2-slot that sees more play (even without a multicart) than any other cabinet in the house. Most of the games are just fun and people like them. If you don't mind bootleg carts, the prices for new games aren't insane.

Other than my grails (Multi440Exidy, MultiWilliams, Galaga, Joust Cocktail), it would be the last cab that I would let go of ... and I paid $325 for it.
