Wow- kinda hard to tell, but that almost looks like a pop'n stage on right of the 2nd pic. Really cool stuff if that's right!

It looks like something more like Deal or No Deal, there's a stool mounted to it

Yeah, definitely. After looking up an image of the cab, the panels dont match at all either. Still have some PTSD of passing one up a few years back so I'm probably still hallucinating from time to time

 

[Cereth]

Was it the one in MD? I have PTSD from getting that thing fully working @-@

 

[GeeDee]

I...think so? It must have been almost something like 6 or 7 years ago now, but I swear it was some guy that was either moving in a hurry and needed it out or maybe their spouse was making them move it out faster than they needed to...I specifically remember them being in a rush to get it out and they ended up selling it to someone else since I couldn't up that way in their time frame. Glad to hear that it went to a good home after all though! It's comfy enough sitting on my grail bucket list lol

Its the only Pop'n cabinet I don't own. I have a 1-3 yellow, 4-8/Animelo/Mickey Tunes plasticab, 9-14 lt. blue, 15-18 red, Type F HD, and HELLO! Pop'n Music

 

[GeeDee]

..Hel....hello pop'n...I'm so sorry you have to subject yourself to that a small price to pay for completion lmao. Mickey tunes is a hell of a find though! I remember awhile back there was some he-said-she-said going around about the value of the animelos coin doors and the mickey tunes were causing a bit of a fuss; dunno how relevant that still is today though.

I've dreamed of being able to snag a pink fever cab for awhile- I'd probably trade in my yellow if I manage to scoop one some day. A little counter intuitive since 11 is my favorite mix, but I'm really not a fan of the orange. Tbh, I play more at my local arcade and they have an animelo, so I feel more inclined nowadays to shoot for that style. Something about the wonky shape and not-quite cracking my skull on the top speakers that somehow makes it charming.

 

[Rob Black]

How much for the Ring edge 2 ?

 

[keiichi331]

I agree, this is kind of bitter sweet. Its amazing how many great arcade cabs are flowing into the US thanks to people like @Cereth and @KC. And i know a lot of us here will put these arcade machines in good loving homes, but maaaan... every machine here is one less machine at an actual arcade. Which means they're either dying or downsizing and with less money to made it means companies might not make anymore new arcade cabinets =(. Hopefully they're just making upgrade rounds, but last i checked, vewlix cabs are still pretty damn serviceabl

You gonna join the 2930/1 chassis nightmare with the rest of the blast city owners? I have owned 5 of these cabinets, and ALL of them needed chassis repairs or maintenance. When the monitor works with zero issues the cabinet is amazing, but once that monitor goes out...man what a giant PITA.

I've had 18 (eighteen) MS2930/31/33 monitors, all of them on location for roughly 5000 hours. Only one ever developed a major issue. The cabs came straight from Japan, almost all of the tubes with substantial burn in. So it's not like they were new when I bought them.I'll cosign all of them having bad corner convergence, but poor reliability? Not so much.
I did buy a "working" 2931 chassis from Yaton and blew a tube with it, but that's beside the point.

Even the semi curved toshiba TV sets have that bad corner convergence. In my experience 2930 has been more reliable than 2931, but 2931 has a sharper picture.

new net city with a pf is the best crt around in my opinion. It would be my first choice.

New net chassis have their own sets of major issues too. Like nem stated, if you want to avoid chassis issues, get an LCD cab.

Still would be my first choice if I wanted a CRT, next would be and astro MS9. If I were to pick an LCD it would be a Noir HD but I own all of these so Im sure im bias. I however would not buy a blast or an atomiswave/egret ever again. Whats the major issue with the NNC just in case it happens I would like to be aware.


Whats your favorite one? I just saw your updated collection, very nice.

Major issue with the NNC’s is the price of the monitor if you ever need a replacement.
Over here it usually is cheaper to buy a complete NNC instead of a Tosh PF on its own...

I'm honestly the only one who will care. The cab I got is very special. It is the one that was at Kawasaki Warehouse before it closed. Only thing I could get out of there, had to pull some favors to make it happen. I don't think it would have gone to a good home otherwise.

I actually have Mickey Tunes door art and marquee

 

[GeeDee]

Good lord, I totally forgot this is something that actually happened Whoever ended up with their street fighter 1 cab definitely locked-in dying happy. That definitely is an awesome little piece of history...kinda ominous to say/hear, but I wonder if some other gems are going to be coming out of the woodwork with this pandemic business still roughing up the arcade space over there. I was hoping to buy some of those arcade key-chains (especially the one for coop cup) that were floating around twitter as some kind of fundraiser for JP arcades, but I couldn't find anyone willing to ship those overseas lol

Toshibas are difficult to fix, more so than the blasts- and @PascalP is 100% correct. A replacement tube and chassis is more than the whole cabinet.

Blast do get an unfair rep, but they are not a starter cab. Astros/New Astro is a great starter cab.

@kcarcadegame any chance of Canary cabinets again?

blasts are absolutely not a starter cab but they have an incredibly high ceiling on what they can provide to an arcade or a home gaming experience. Unfairly maligned cab lately but definitely not for first timers.
