That's known as the Gold version. MVS-2-19.

It's not as common as the typical dedicated red cabs you see every day, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's worth more. From my understanding, there's mixed opinions about the cab. I think the red cabs look better.

I've seen it pop up for sale a couple of times in the past. Usually around the same price as any other dedicated MVS cab. That one doesn't have the original gold CPO or marquee bezel anymore and there are no repros so that decreases the value a little.

I'd say ballpark, $250-300.

I bought one about 3 years ago at an auction for $85. It need some work on one side of the cabinet and a new overlay due to smoke cigerette burns. I fixed both and have around $150 total. I bought it because I like the size of the cabinet.
 
Do yourself a HUGE favor and replace that rechargeable battery on the board.
 
Yeah...I dunno. It is uncommon, but I think only the hardcore Neo Geo heads really go ape shit over it. It's a cool find for sure, but outside of rarity, I think the big reds are superior. That's just one man's opinion though. Grain of salt. Two cents. Etc.
 
Did these ship with no PCB cage? If so then its missing.
Yeah its the only 19" US cab. I also prefer the Reds and they just look more awesome. This just fits with a bar setting or something.

Prices quoted are about right and this one is far from complete.

They came with a cage as the one I had was all stock untouched and it had a cage. Mine was in damn good shape and had a brand fantastic picture and I bought it for 200$
