after discovering my brother's monitor on his mame cab (a billabs mulisync) will not work with MVS, we found a pretty good deal on a 25" neo cab. so here it is. cpo/plexi was shot so I already took that off. plan on sanding down the cp and painting it then tossing a new cpo on there and some new buttons/sticks, have some temporary buttons on there now. cab is in ok shape, needs some work but they usually do. it came with a one slot and the 100-1 cart. monitor picture is great so that's a plus.

plan on putting a 2 way switcher in it and having a 1 slot for the multicart and a 4 slot for other games, should cover all the bases.

the seller also had a lot of marquees, all for $10 each, and luckily for me he had a really nice defender since mine is in pretty awful shape.

Looks to be a great Neo Cab project. The switcher is a neat idea. Good luck and congrats on the cab. Hope you'll post some pics of how it all turns out.
 
i found a cpo and 4 slot mini marquee that should work out nicely, so next step is to sand down and paint the cpo and get rid of the 100-1 cart instructions. I guess someone actually was making money off this thing with the 100 in 1 cart, pretty crazy but I guess no one really cares enough to stop them from doing that.

i took off the extra coin door security which I found annoying.

im actually in the middle of repainting my painted black big red MVS system into its original red. If you need some matched red paint, I can send you some of it. The gallon I got is enough to paint 10 machines.
 
Nice, I can't wait to see some more updates.

I hope to pick up a Neo Geo cab someday. After seeing a Neo 19 at CAX, I'm hooked on finding one of them in the future. The full-size MVS cabs are cool too. It's what I grew up playing.

What games do you have for the 4-slot? Just curious.
 
well some of the best games are not on the 100 n 1 twinkle star sprites ,wind jammers to name 2

but really whats the point of installing a 1 slot board and a 4 slot on a switch install the 100 n 1 cart in slot 1 then you can still have 3 other games
 
SSilver2k2 interested in some paint, also anyone have a link for repro artwork or stencils to make it look nice once repainted in red?
 
Decals can be found here at neo-geo.com : http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=183298&highlight=decals

If you need any of my paint send me a PM. Ill just charge shipping.

The paint I got was from home depot. it was Behrs with primer already mixed in. a gallon cost $31, I had a chip from another neo geo and used that to match it. The closest I could find by hand was Behrs Grenadine S-G-180 with help from the people at neo-geo.com

This is what the home depot computer matcher said:

Clant C kx ru vu

I'll second the recommendation for eccs19's art (no experience with the stencils, I used the vinyl), he does good work.

that would be cool, I'm not sure what I'm going to do for the sides, but the front could definitely use some new paint.


What games do you have for the 4-slot? Just curious.

my brother really likes ninja combat and magician lord, neither of those are on the 100 in 1.

Congrats Todd, I love my Neo.

it's Tim! close enough, heh.

well I've heard the 100 in 1 has problems with multi slot boards. I've heard someone got it to work by not using the other 3 slots in a 4 slot, but that's a pain, the 2 in 1 would be much easier. only problem is jammaboards is out of them and it says they are discontinued, so not sure what I'm going to do now, maybe somewhere else has them.



those decals look good, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do for the sides of this since it is not the full size big red cab. i guess I could paint the top part red kind of like that cab, or just paint the whole thing red, and apply those decals. it will take some work for me to do that because there is plastic laminate covering both sides, so I'd have to strip that, do some sanding/repairing/painting.
 
looks like oyurs is a standard 2 slot cab just like mine

that cab is the standard cab up to the ver 1 4-25(only diffrence is the 1-25 is wired jamma and has no mem card or headphone jacks on the front)
then they went to these for the mvs-4-25 ver 2
MVS-4-25v2.jpg

then there is the mvs 4-25 ver 3
MVS-4-25v3b.jpg

and then there is what everyone calls a big red
wich is the mvs-6-25

thoes are all the upright us made cabs
for more pics on the forigen cabs and the us built samsho dedicated cab check out this site
http://www.hardmvs.com/html/cabphotos.htm

they also have all the manuals for each board with pics and info on the diffrence betwene the boards

as for problems with running th emulti carts in the 4 slot boards most of that is just hear say from the nazi's over at neo-geo .com that think the 100 in one carts ruing the value of their precious original carts that they try and sell for 200 each

the 4 slot does work with the 100 in one, but it pretty much turns it into a 1 slot. i tried having it in slot 1 with 3 other games in the other slots. picked a game on the 100 in 1 and it started one of the games in the other slots. so I still think it's worthwhile to toss a 2 in 1 switcher in there to go from a 1 slot to a 4 slot so I don't have to change games all the time.
 
do you understand his shipping charges? is each item $12 then, $6 additional for the same item? or is it $6 for different items? wish he could make a coherent website, who has ordered from here?
