Title: Woohoo! My first candy cab! *pics*
Post by: Jeff AMN on September 21, 2007, 11:37:18 am

I've been wanting an MVS setup in my arcade for some time, but I wasn't sure if I wanted one of the big reds or one of the Japanese candy cabs. After thinking it out, I went with the candy to give my game room a bit more variety. I'm waiting on my 4 slot board to show up, but I tinkered around with the cab last night and it's running at 100%. The monitor is GORGEOUS. I'll add more pics once I have the Neo Geo games up and running on it.

So, this it after a simple wipe down. I haven't really put any large amounts of elbow grease into it, so it should look spectacular once I do. I need to tap out a few dents, but there aren't any deep creases so they'll all smooth out just fine.

A guy here has literally stacks of them. I think he had around 40 when I was there. I almost picked up the 29", but went with the 25" since it was $200 less. He had a few other types of Japanese import cabs, actually.

I'll throw some more pics up soon with games running on it. I was just playing Samurai Showdown II and Metal Slug X. They are AWESOME on that screen.
