A 4 Slot MVS Cab for a F ire p ow er with the following disclaimer from the owner:

It powers on, lights up, displays high score, but will not start a game

Sound like a fair trade?

Should be picking it up in the next day or two. Sounds like it's a done deal, but as always, no deal is done until it's complete.
 
Could be an easy fix. The switch contacts in the ball trough get dirty and need to be cleaned to make good contact - OR (even easier) not all 3 balls are in the trough. If the playfield is decent - grab it. On of my favorite classic pins and a Steve Ritchie design.

I would say take a look at it. working the pin is worth about $700-$1200.

but it could cost you a bunch to fix it. replace MPU? Also the backglass could be flaking nd the playfied could be worn..

your neo 4 slot is worth $350-$650.
 
Some pics of the table. Not sure if these will change any minds or not.

Get rid of the neogeo..seriously..bunch of king of fighter games? hahaha or a sweetass classic pin that is worth double the money probably. Easy choice :)

KOF...bah humbug, Magical Drop 3 is the best Neo game hands down...I'll still have another 4 slot, a 2 slot Goldie, and a converted Dynamo 1 slot.

The trade looks like a done deal, the pin should be coming into the home Sunday.
 
That playfield looks nice, I don't see the typical wear on the planet...but it isn't the best pic either. Nice deal.
 
Haha there are some great neogeo games I was only half kidding. I had a 4 slot neogeo myself at one time :)


:) The MVS got me into this hobby so there is a special place in my heart for the neo cabs.

My wife and kids feel the same way as you do...they are always asking me why I need 4 cabs for KOF. No matter what games I put in the cabs, they see them as KOF cabs. OCD I guess, but I am starting to see their point now that space is starting to become an issue.
 
Got it! Looks great. Thanks for all the responses. I figured worse case scenario was that I'd have to bu a new MPU combo board from rottendog.com and that finalized the decision.

A big thanks to Oryk Zinyo for coming by and the help you are giving me.
