Finally got a couple of my personal grails and all in a week. Worked out a trade for a nice dedicated Spider-Man cab without a monitor and a 4 player conversion TMNT, which would be the half since I need a nice cab for it. Today I picked up a 4 slot Neo Geo for a good price. Apparently somebody told him they would give him more for it while I was on my way. I've got Spidey going but I'm having sound issues. The Neo Geo needs some TLC, I have to figure out the marquee lights and the monitor is really dim and I can't adjust it any brighter. Plus I'm gonna need some new artwork for it. All in all a good week.

nice, I have the same V3 4 slot and a Sega GA-RODA which is the same cab as your Spiderman. I have a loose Spiderman board and do board swaps.
 
wow sweet pick up, I gotta get a spiderman at some point for my 4 year old boy.
 
IMHO Spiderman is the best of the comic book hero side scrolling beat em ups.
 
Here's some pics of my TMNT Jungle Hunt. Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet...other than kill it with fire.

Why do people do this? Burn it why? Looks fine...give it away then, sure if no takers at free even, you gotta do what you gotta do, but to just pick up a cab and instantly turn around and gut it and burn it deserves a smack upside the head.
 
Nice, for the neo geo the marquee panels are EL panels. They just wear out over time and if anything I'd be surprised if all of them worked even if they are all just dim.

I have yet to do mine on my golden 2 slot but the below is suppose to fit. I read they are a little bigger then the stock neogeo ones but people put them on and taped around the edges with good luck. On here and the neo geo forums you can find info on swapping them if they need to be switched out.

I'll have to give those a try. Probably go with some sideart and then worry about that. I've seen somebody working on a LED conversion but I guess that died.
 
It looks really wierd but that is the stock marquee lighting kit for a Jungle Hunt/King. If you are going to get rid of it let me know and I'll slide you some $ because I need one.
 
So, I'm pretty sure I found what was causing the dim pic in my NEO...and yes, that is aluminum foil wrapped with duct tape around the neck.
