What causes the Neo-Geo CDZ to overheat?....

I'm really curious about this-were not enough vents made for the console? I don't think heat sinks were done in consoles of that era. Is there anyway to position or use one so that it won't overheat?

I'm curious too. Since I've yet to be shown proof (rather than conjecture) that CDZs are unreliable since the last Shmupsforum.

I've never had my CDZ overheat, but I also never left it on for more than an hour or two at a time. I finally sold it a few years back when I got my Neo 25 candy cabinet.

Unrelated, but my spindle broke on mine. What a bad design that was.

Never heard of overheating CDZ's before.

The spindle felt really good though; flimsy but very effortless to move discs.

I've never had any issues with mine.... I know of 2 other folks that had the older top loading ones die on them.

Never heard of over heating either.
