just replace it with a florescent setup (Walmart has them for ~$15)
That's kind of lame! NEO GEO's are cool because when you select games the light switches from mini marquee to mini marquee.
But, yeah... the EL PANELS are bad. I got lucky and bought some NOS ones. Def' replace them. It's worth it!
My EL panels are dead and instead of ordering A6 replacements at $20 a piece that are a hair too big, I started trying to figure out the control circuit in order to replace both the inverter board and EL panels with my own small circuit and LED lights. However, I haven't made much progress due to lack of time so it remains on my "to do" list. I'm in-between classes for the next few weeks though so maybe I'll pick it back up...That isn't why the Neo Geo is cool John. But it is a nice thing to have. Unfortunately when I got my Neo, the OP swapped out the EL for a tube. And everything is gone including the harness.![]()

LOL! This comment literally made me spill coffee on myself as I made the unfortunate decision to take a sip while reading it...No, it IS why the NEO GEO is cool and it sound a lot like your NEO GEO is not cool. Sorry to hear about your uncool NEO GEO.

Don't worry Tighe, if I build my LED light setup I'll help you make your Neo cab cool again.

Worth every penny Frizz.I replaced mine with A6 panels. Looks nice... but is pretty expensive vs a florescent...]
Dude, it is about the gays.
What does that have to do with the NEO GEO? You're odd.
It is what makes it cool...unfortunately the "tested working" set I bought to replace my non-working is indeed also a non-working set as well. Worth every penny Frizz.
Same thing happened to me, although it wasn't Frizz
GAMES Above all else is what makes the NEO GEO AWESOME.
I'm a purist and I tried to find working panels. There was a guy on N-G Forums that was working on a LED conversion system. Some guys offer newish replacement panels and then they don't anymore... off and on it's a real hassle. I eventually just broke down and cut out the backing wood and put a FL tube behind it all to light up all 5 boxes of my V3.
I thought it was a nice solution and they all look nice light up together.
