Willing to pay up to $1000 for one depending on condition. PM me if you've got one for sale, thanks!
You've got excellent taste in candies. The Egret 2's are among the best. I have 2. I think there is one for sale over at the www.shmups.com trading forums.

maybe you should say where you are in the usa..
Thanks, but I'm trying to find one in the USA.
Montana. Sorry thought it was listed right under my username. I won't find one anywhere near me, it's gonna have to be shipped, which I don't mind paying for.
A new Astrocity is a great cab for sure and very well designed...I've owned a few when I was heavy into candy cabs, but I'd take an Egret2 over that every day of the week. That said...In addition to a couple Egret2's, I do have an Astrocity2 and it kicks ass!
The new Astro's are pretty easy to tate if you lay the cab on its back, but the Egret tate mechanism works so smoothly. The only downside to the Egret2 is the monitor shroud. Its a shame the entire front doesn't come off like the Sega Astros. You have to remove and reinstall the shroud while its hanging upside down which can be interesting...but not too difficult.
A note on the Egret2's. My good friend Matsu is responsible for most if not all the Egret2's that made it to the states. He's brought at least 3 cargo containers full of them over there years (mebbe more). I asked him the other day why he doesn't bring more over as the demand is still strong. He told me he's tried but they are really hard to find. Apparently Taito pulled them out of the arcades and steamrollered hundreds into oblivion for tax writeoff purposes![]()

Rotate mechanism, great monitor, I am only interested in playing low res games.
Why is a New Astro City better?
