Noticed that i haven't posted my second candy, yet.

So...

No scratches. No burn in. Pretty decent geometries. 2100 coins signed on the coin counter.

Need to swap, when possible, sticks and buttons.

How did you guys get your hands on one of these things? I eventually would love to have one for vertical shooters (I'd eventually want a Gunbird 2 or DOJ PCB). Any tips? Any existing threads or guides on this? For some reason it seems pretty farfetched but maybe it's not that hard?

Acade Otaku seems to have candy cabs come up more than most places.

I got mine off a nearby member here way back, 2004 I think. Just got lucky timing and location wise.

Got both of mine on neo-geo forums. First was from a group buy where we had to wait months for the shipment to arrive from japan, was a bit stressful not knowing exactly what kind of working condition the cabs would be in upon arrival but it worked out well for mostly every one. Second was from an individual seller.

Yeah, regarding PITA and getting stuff to Norway, you are not alone!

Anyways nice cabs. Let me know if you need to get rid of the Egret

I got mine from various forums (including here) and one from Ken at The Game Room. Depending on their location, it's not too expensive to ship one if you have to. I've used these guys a couple of times:

They do everything, from packaging the machine properly to delivering inside, so it's a good solution if the machine is out of driving distance (or if you don't have a car, like me).

Wow, that looks minty!

Wow, that Impress is sooooo clean! And under $400, another steal you got there.

After a short stint with attempting some 2 player action, I've gone back to side-by-side tate 1 player goodness.

I never really cared much for blast city's till I saw those, yours look awesome in the last pic!

Who turned out the lights in Blast City? c'mon man, it's picture day.. get some rays shining out of that illumination panel!
But yes, nice presentation on those vertical bad boys.. Especially the 1L cp's.

So for a decent candy cab you're probably looking at $500-$1000? I've looked into getting a standup MVS cab before, but never looked at candies that closely.

Brought my AWSD back that I sold a while back (this is the very same AWSD that used to belong to NR on the very first post in this thread)

Dunno really, got them from a cab-deal and they are awesome, so nice with support for the back.

And here is the finished Taito Station.

Small update on my egret 29 candy cab
Here's some pictures on the control panel it had before
It was some sort of crome cheap repro
It had some white nasty silicone under the panel
Holding it agains lower bracket panel

Also it had 3 different blue shade colors
So i had to sand it down and repaint it

This is what i got from TAITO tech
2 "nos" control panels.i got an extra one just incase i find another egret 29lol

And this is how is coming out after all.i will replace the button layout
But will do for now
