Title: Thanks to John im a first time owner this week! Post by: iankellogg on December 13, 2013, 11:41:23 am Hi everybody,
I decided to join the forums now that I am a new first time owner this week. I picked up a neo geo 4 slot this week for an okay price but I am excited none the less. Thanks to John for his awesome videos I finally feel like it isn't as scary of a hobby as I once thought. I'm an electrical engineer and always knew I could fix those parts but I was always worried about the cabinets. After watching his restore videos I feel like I know enough now to dive in. EDIT: Figured I would say where i'm from! Enjoying your awesome videos from Centre PA. Title: Re: Thanks to John im a first time owner this week!

Gonna get a multi-cart? Title: Re: Thanks to John im a first time owner this week! Post by: iankellogg on December 13, 2013, 01:27:56 pm ill have photos this week once i get it into my house and cleaned up. It came with 4 pretty bad games so I am planning on getting the multicart while i collect the games i want. I was doing some research into doing some type of jamma switcher mode and putting my mame PC in there.

My favorite NEO GEO cab, and the one I have too. GREAT cabinet! Don't MAME it! :D Title: Re: Thanks to John im a first time owner this week! Post by: iankellogg on December 16, 2013, 01:14:37 pm im going to fix it up and leave it as original as possible. I am considering putting a jamma switcher in it until i can move out of my small apartment and pick up more cabs. I really love this machine and I have some projects cooking up in my mind for things to upgrade on it. Those damn EL panels are all shot and $20 a panel right now is a bit much after buying the unit this month. Might be able to do a nice replacement PCB for the lights to use LED's instead.

My friend Evil Emu of Doom is doing an LED replacement for the EL panels. Info: http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=262268 |
