This might suit a console collector?

I'm in Australia. I've wanted a cabinet even since the 90s after playing them right through the 80s but it's ben complicated living in a regional area and being a fairly quiet individual.
So this still hasn't happened but this is "year of the arcade machine" according to my own new years resolution. Leading into it I'm building superguns. Started with the easy stuff. Buying Neo Geos and PGM boards.
Tomorrow I'm picking up a car full of classic boards so I will expect the rest of this year at least is set aside for learning how to repair as many of those as I can.

Do they have a website or something? Also where is the cab list btw? I could not seem to find it
Peep their Twitter and drop them a line direct: https://twitter.com/agandinternati2
Their website is http://www.ag-intl.co.jp/
Incidentally, I understand there may have been some issues with IM recently. This has not effected me at all (at least yet). But Nishi at AGI will be all over that issue.
In a separate conversation on AA, Leo suggested approaching zaxx who bring in containers from Japan regularly, and might let you chuck in a cab. I'm not sure whether this idea would float, but I've found zaxx (and highway for that matter) to be helpful when I've spoken with them, so I'm sure they'd answer the question.
Just mention that last bit to try to keep the dream alive for anyone who's a ways down the path without any import solution.

I picked up my boards, there's nearly 40 of them, most are pretty rough as they were originally sold to the guy I got them from as parts boards and he was just going to re use the eproms, He didn't have the heart to do it in the end. I hope to fix around 10 of them, been testing the Jamma boards. Two Mortal kombats aren't far from working, one of them boots into the game and only has graphical corruption so that one is hopeful. Most the boards are early 80s games. Just going through and identifying them from roms the last couple days.

No stock boss. The highlighted ones are currently in stock ':^)
That said, Nishi is great. He'll help you find something you're after. They located a cabinet not listed for me and my wallets been angry at me ever since.

Quick shoutout to @xb74 for the heads up about the Astro on GT. The seller also had a Blast City which I bought a couple of weeks ago. I’ve started cleaning it up and bought some stuff for it - including art from Noodleshirt. I’ve already stripped and painted the rusty control panel and put an $8 Officeworks print on the CP until my repro arrives from Alberto.

Looking for an Extron Emotia or a TVone Corio scaler if anybody is looking to pass one onto a good home.
Similarly if you have a Sega HSS-0130 gathering dust, let me know.

I have a couple of Corio scalers
One has a fault and won’t boot and I’ve never been able to fix it - not sure if you have more experience with these things, I couldn’t find any info on it
The other one works fine though I’m fairly sure

Thanks mate, I am diving into these for the 1st time so the working one will be great. Would you happen to know what model it is?I have a couple of Corio scalers
One has a fault and won’t boot and I’ve never been able to fix it - not sure if you have more experience with these things, I couldn’t find any info on it
The other one works fine though I’m fairly sure
All my info about these comes from the shmups forum so if there isnt a solution to the faulty one in there, I am stuffed
Plus, if you cant fix it then I have next t o zero chance lol.
