I would be very interested if the price were right. There has always been a lot of interest in these "drop shipment" orders, but alas its never been enough. I am not too picky on style, but I would prefer one that has a 29" Monitor and 2 players with the SF layout.
Although if you can get a list of cabs he can get I am sure there would be a bigger interest.
-
I'd be very interested depending on the problems that always crop up with these drop shipments:
1) What would the prices be?
2) Where are you located, and what would shipping from your area to my home be?
3) What models would you be able to get?
I really, REALLY want a candy cab, but it always winds up being cost-prohibitive when everything is worked out :(
If you can get us more details, there's a chance I might be interested. I'd be most interested ina 29" cab as well, especially a SUper Neo 29.
Check http://www.coinopexpress.com for some prices
-
There are many types of candy's but if the cabs were nice and at a fair price I'd buy a couple from ya Mike. Since you are somewhat local for me. Japanese candy's or Japanese cocktails would prolly sell well.
Any chance of you posting a pic of the candy that you got as a tester?

As has been said before, I would love to get one, but the shipping costs always put it beyond the price I'm willing to spend.

Same here. $300? Sure! $300 with $275 shipping... uh, no. :-\

I'm guessing that you're on the west coast? Bummer.

That's the problem I ALWAYS run into.... stupid NJ being on the wrong coast. :P
-
OK, I'll try to get some prices and post some pics.
For the guys on the east coast we might be able to have several shipped to one location and everyone could drive an hour or so to pick them up. This would proably mean a big savings on shipping.
-
Also, does anyone know of anywhere that sells them in the US? I'd like to get an idea of what they go for here. The problem with coin-op express is shipping to the US is extremely high, so it doesn't give me any real idea about what the retail pricing would be on these things.

If this order goes through, you all can check out some Candy cab pictures on my site. http://candycabinetcity.tz4.com/
Thanks!

The only place I know where to get them is from some guy, "Matsu", in CA. Here's his latest:
Matsu is getting another shipment of cabs in two weeks. Here is a list of what he will be getting in this shipment, and how much they are going to cost (pick-up).
1. Astro City $450 * 5
2. New Astro City $475 * 2
3. Neo Candy 29" $500 * 2
4. Cyber Lead $700 (high res) * 10
5. Aero City $350 * 9
That is his next stock... give him an email gamemachine2003@hotmail.com
-
I will consider buying on depending on cost of machine, model, and shipping cost.
-
I know richardp on here had a bunch for cheap i.e. 200-250 each iirc.

Ditto. I'm highly interested.
-
very very interested
-

Paul Richards and Matsu sell the same cabs out of the same location. Paul has some of the older 25-26" neo's and aeros in the $200 range. Matsu's prices went up $50 in the last couple months, but are still a good deal. He also has super high end Egret3s (Atomiswave version) ones for over $1K.
Mike, I hope the supplier you have is a very good personal friend. If you are going through the normal hongkong distributors, you better be very carefull as I've herd horror stories of them jacking up prices, sending beatup/broken machines, adding fees at the last minute. Matsu does well since he has personal connections.
If you do decide to order, try to find Egret2s. I'd be interested in one (or more) of those. ;D
-
yeah if u get candy cabs i might get one from ya ;)
-
Do any of the candy cabs have trackballs?
-
most candy cabs are neo geo cabs so yeah they prob dont ;)
-

Didn't you recently buy a neo cab off richardp (paul richards)?
-
Do any of the candy cabs have trackballs?
I've never seen one. I could proably get one with a blank control panel. But it would be a little work to drill it.
-
I'll try to get some pictures posted of the available cabs this weeekend.
-Mike
-
Here's some photos. Seems to only be Chinese cabinets, no Sega or Taito cabs. But they do have some other odds and ends...
-
Prices to follow is a few days.
-
Forgot one...
-
anybody on the east coast interested in doing a bulk order? i'm interested in the naomi universals.

I think those only *look like* Naomis. That said, I'm curious if anyone knows the quality of those?

I read that the monitors are good, just not as good as REAL japanese nanao monitors used in the legit cabinets
-
/me drools....over the cabs
Depending on price you have at least one buyer. Thank god you are semi local (within driving distance)
-
Here's a picture of Mr.Megalo's Naomi Uni chinese copy...

I really like it, I'd be interested if the price was right. :)
-
Great taste... same one I'm eye balling. I miss my Universal.
-
I liked the Super Star Cabs and the Super Kings. Hook us up with some prices. Tax season is upon us!
-
If the price is right I would be interested in an east coast thing.

Mr.Megalo can confirm, but I believe the monitors in the chinese copies are 15khz only, where as Naomi's are Tri-Res.

That would be a bummer. :-\
-
yep the LS sound and Naomi clones are all China Brand Tubes and China Brand 15K only chassis.
without sounding harsh. . . . . the cabs themselves are cool, the monitors. . . . . well. . . . . I personally never had any "real" problems with them except they needed degaussing several times with a degauss wand (the degauss coil on the China Brand monitors are soooo thin)
the problem with the china brand chassis is they DONT like to be rotated, over at our forum we had several peoples who have had chassis problems/flyback problems after tating the LS screens, I guess the weight of the flyback and the soldering on the cheap chassis played a big part in it.
dont get me wrong, they are great cabs for first timers or someone who wants something that looks minty fresh compared to a 2nd hand cabinet, but after awhile your gonna want to start thinking about replacing themonitor with something better.

Thanks for the clarification Mr. Megalo. People should note, that ALL the cabs listed are chinese knockoffs, so they will all have that same chinese monitor/chasis.
Actually I believe you can order these chinese cabs without monitor (just in Kit form) and have the cost/shipping MUCH cheaper. Mike you may want to look into this option.
-
yes you can order the "cab" only - they are flatpacked aswell.
the Blast City copys are reported to have Tri Res monitors
-
I'm interested as well... if its an east coast thing.
-
intrested also....in NJ

Ah, the Super King2. It looks like one half Versus City and one half Blast. I kinda like it. Yea, on coinopexpress, it says it comes with a Tri-sync. :)
-
did you ever get any prices on some of these cabs? i'm interested in one of the superstar2 cabs. this way us guys on the east coast can have an idea of what we're working with and try and work something out.
thanks
-
I could use a nice, big tri-res monitor. If anybody else wants an empty cab, maybe we could split one- monitor for me, cab for you.
I'm located within driving distance of DreamArcades.
-
Yeah the Super king 2 is the one I have the most interest in simply for that Tri Res monitor.
-
I might be interested as well if I could see some pricing.
-
Just bringing this back up.
-
Put me done for the sk2.
-
I haven't got the pricing yet. I've sent two e-mails to my importer, but no reply. This has happened before when my importer is visiting the grandparents. There's no e-mail at their place. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't even power as I think they live far outside the city.
As soon as I get pricing I'll post it.
These are Chinese models and have 15khz monitors. I think 31khz versions may be available for a few, but I'm not sure.
-
Still interested
-
I really want one also, but I fear that shipping will make it not worthwhile.
Silly questions: it is only the empty cab and monitor, without internal components (games) right?
If I want to mame this, what would I need to interface with the computer with the monitor? Would a normal video card with video out work? I currently have mame out to a regular 25" tv through svideo, and I was wondering if I need to buy anything extra to make the transfer to one of these candy cabs.
THanks.
-
probably would need an arcade vga to change the frequency
-
Was this going to go anywhere?

I think you have like 3 questions in there. 1) the full cabinets will have monitor and jamma harness 2) normal video card with video out will not work, you'll need an arcadeVGA card or equivelent that outputs 15khz (unless you are going for the Super King 2 which can handle 640x480 vga) 3) You will also need a jpac to interface the controls to your computer.
Personally I want to know if the flatpack option for these cabs comes with control panel and jamma harness. Also want to know if its actually cheaper to just order these on our own as I don't want to pay for it shipped in bulk with someone elses 200lbs cab.

Dave, you ever dealt with excellentcom.net ?
buy one yourself ;)

Oh! I deal with Joey at excellentcom all the time. I'll find out. Thanks Mr-M!
-
I had sent Miss Joey at Excellentcom a meesage a day or so ago inquiring on specs and price and haven't heard back yet.
-
Wouldnt shipping be crazy on that? Excellentcom is in hong kong. Let me know, I am interested too :)

Thats why I'm asking about the flatpack shipping option. Basically the cab is disassembled and shipped as a "kit" without the monitor. Should be significantly cheaper shipping, but we'll see.
-
oooo empty cabinets would any of them fit a 36" tube?
-
Along with my request for $ I requested spec and dimensions of the various cabs especially the super king and so far the only reply I have recieved from them says 'Will look into it"
You would think that if they offer cabs that this type of into would not only be readily available but on the web.

My request was much simpler since I asked for price of just one cab shipped without the monitor, and also got a "will check for you" response. I bet they just partnered with another supplier of those chinese cabs, and have to ask them for the details.
-
These things are going to be a big unknown, and you may never get good answers.
For example, the Naomi Universal replica cabinet. Is it a good enough replica that offical control panels will fit correctly? And if the cabinet comes with all the wiring, were they kind enough to use the same type of connector for the control panel wiring? Not to mention is it wired as JVS or Jamma etc etc.
I'd probably be willing to order one without knowing any of this, but if you're not the type to get your hands dirty, you run the risk of getting something that isn't 100% plug and play.
Dave: I bet the shipping is cheaper, but the problem is it's cheaper in comparison to the full assembled cab with monitor. The coinopexpress rates for shipping single cabs are pretty steep, and even if you half that... Some of the 'kit' panels still need to be pretty big, I wonder if it would even be shippable via EMS.
When (if) you get a response, let us know, I'd be interested in ordering a without-monitor cab myself.
-
Zakk,
yes an official Sega CP will fit perfectly, I breifly owned a Naomi clone last year, firrst job was fit a new CP .
(http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/7871/kitchenarcade18bz.jpg)
NO its not wired to JVS - if it was wired to JVS, it would cost a fortune, JVS or "JAMMA2" as it is known to some, uses some fairly expensive I/O boards, stereo amps and PSU's - at best the cabinet will be wired to JAMMA with a cheap generic china brand PSU.
to be honest, when I got mine, I had to more or less rebuild half of it anyways to sort out some earthing issues, monitor discolouration, new CP, extra wiring harness and generally making sure the cabinet all sat flush, originally it looked like it had been thrown together and nothing sat right (CP surround for example was not flush with the monitor plastic surround)
IMVHO - pop a tri res 29" monitor in, use a decent PSU and a new CP instead of the china brand knock off buttons/sticks and they make a good cabinet, not a patch on the real Sega cabs tho but they do do a decent enough job structurely.
slight note, the Naomi clones weigh approx half as much as the real deal

Once again, is this going to go anywhere? ???
-

doesn't look like it.
-
I've not heard anything back from ExcellentCom either.
-
Haven't herd anything either. They are probably trying to decide how much extra to charge to make a larger profit off the original distributor (especially if multiple people emailed them around the same time). Doh!
-
Bumping because I want one too and am on the east coast as well.
-
I would KILL for one of these. In fact, I have posts all over the place looking for Candycabs. mainly for a NeoGeo version, but I could probably use a generic for that. I am on the east coast as well (Baltimore, right near a port!). Let mek now if this goes anywhere. And if anyone knows where I can buy a Neo Geo Candy, please tell me!

-
i have to do some searching but there is a guy in NY that has a bunch. who knows maybe someday i'll sell mine but i doubt it. by the way i'm sure this thread is dead and should probably sent to post hell. anyone agree?
-
yah ive decided to give my candy cab obsesion a rest and really go forwards with my showcase
-
Sorry for the delayed reply. I've been swamped and it doesn't look like I'm going to be able to put together a power buy right now.
I may try again in a few months, but right now we are just too busy with the BCA, E3 and a couple of other trips coming up.
Sorry to disappoint everyone,
-Mike

Count me interested if you decide to resurrect this project. I don't care if it takes a year. :)
