There is a posting in town for a 4 player upright vs machine. I have only seen one of these before on John's grinker's tour video so I know nothing about them. I have never seen one up for sale on anything before and was wondering what the rareity of these machines were. The price isn't too bad but I have a feeling this machine was from a very old and run down arcade from 10 years ago.

An upright Vs. Dualsystem? They are pretty cool. Not sure how rare. I have seen a few for sale here and there. I would love to have one but it's just too big. How much is it? What games are in it? Photo?

Not to mention a little awkward probably to service. Though it is definitely interesting.

True restoration is an art form. Like any good artist you have to know what your doing. Painting a single line on a canvas and calling it a masterpiece does not fly in restoring a arcade machine. Do it right

It seems a bit rough around the edges and I am pretty sure it came from the run down arcade from 10 years ago. Dodgey place that allowed smoking and had carton vending machines that teens would buy.

Ya know I've thought about it a bit and a game like that in the center of an arcade room wouldn't be too awkward. Still awkward to service.

$400 isn't too bad, really. Castlevania is a $100+ game. The monitors are each worth at least $100.

Those actually arent that big, John.  I had one BITD.  Doesn't take up any more space than a Red Tent IMHO.

Wait. You had one!??! I moved one out of a basement once and it sucked. I remember it being HUGE. However, when I saw Steve's at Grinkers it was way smaller than I remember. Huh. I could see getting one if I had endless room.

well it might still be available by now (its been almost 3 weeks since it was posted) but I am picking up a karate champ and punchout tomorrow so I won't have the will to move another machine for a few more weeks probably.

I got one in TX, it's not that big, but definitely awkward to move around, it has a huge back door, one marquee light. as long as you have a little room to spin it around to its side, it's not bad to service

If you don't mind my asking could you post a photo of the innards of your machine? I'm very interested in seeing the inside of one of these. The inventor in me is very very curious.

At the moment it's in my shop wrapped up awaiting restoration.  But in the mean time, I built a custom mini version for the kids... here's a link to the build... ( it is a mame build, so dont shoot me Smiley )

You know if it was a 3 cabinet two on each side one in the middle that'd be pretty epic. Have like a neo geo a jamma and a atari XD
