I just recently picked up a Neo-Geo 4-slot cabinet that just happened to be right down the street from me (I couldn't resist!). For reference, my want thread is here, and my find thread is here.
This cab turned out to be more of project than I'd hoped. However, now that I have it, it looks like it may also be more fun to work on than I expected (and realistically, it's not much).
Here's a list of things I think need to be done. If anyone can think of anything else or has suggestions, please let me know. I will likely be posting in the general restoration forums regarding how to restore the sides since this will be my first time doing that

Here's a list of things I think need to be done. If anyone can think of anything else or has suggestions, please let me know. I will likely be posting in the general restoration forums regarding how to restore the sides since this will be my first time doing that
- Sides: Replace vinyl or paint and find stencils for side art. UPDATE: Still working on the vectors for the side art myself
- Marquee: Find replacement if possible as this one has several chips and scratches. Also, maybe look into possible backlighting?
- Control Panel: Panel is in good shape, but overlay is a poor reproduction - try to find something nicer and replace the buttons with the standard Neo colors. UPDATE: Replaced CPO with a repro from Quarter Arcade
- Front: Remove black paint from the front coin door area - someone suggested Citristrip. UPDATE: Citristrip works well, but I haven't removed it all yet
- Memory Card Board: Try to clean it and see if it works. UPDATE: Cleaned with Simple Green and water...it works!
- Replace all T-molding UPDATE: T-molding bought
