Not quite grail status, but this was the next on my "must get" list. $100, came with 7 cartridges (including Metal Slug 1 & 3, and the ones on the marquees + 1 other). Monitor doesn't turn on, but it does power up (haven't looked at it yet). In pretty damn good condition.

I have officially spilled over into the storage room, which after a bit of work will be my arcade room
 
Great score! $100 is a great price and it looks to be in nice shape. I wish I never would have got rid of my Neo Geo when I had it.

Thanks. The cabinet and graphics are in good shape, but the top and back edges of the sides look like they had been dragged across concrete. All of the white on the cabinet (Neo Geo, MVS, left/right player, etc) has been touched up by hand, and looks like a 7/10. But the CPO is great.

I'm excited to see if this is a quick fix or not...
 
I was hoping, but the previous owner said he checked the fuse. He made no claims as to what was wrong. I was really expecting the fuse excuse though
Well, you'd be further ahead than I was if your monitor is complete. When I bought the one I had from a Super Auctions it was missing the damn chassis. No wonder it was playing blind. :mad:
 
Pull out the monitor chassis and check all the solder joints on it. That's what ended up fixing mine.

You stole that thing with 7 carts. Very good deal.
 
I thought about calling on this yesterday, but my old lady would have killed me. Congrats man!

Thanks. I thought mine would kill me too, since I brought home this gem last week. But she gave me the go ahead since she knew that this was a great deal on a cab that I really wanted.
