Should I get these "Blue" Namco candy cabs??

[brokenhalo]

$634 for all 3 cabinets? assuming that the monitors work and there aren't any major problems, that is an amazing price. you can probably get a good bit back selling the included games as well. go for it!

[brokenhalo]

also, those cabinets are called excellenas. you can read more about them here http://hard--candy.com/

are you kidding?! or course you should buy some.

God damn I'd be all over them. It almost seems too good to be true, so I might bug the seller for more information/pictures/etc

Buy all the Namco ones, make a really good one or pair, part out the spares.

I'd be all over those Namco cabs.

Crazy offer, I don't see any reason not to get it.

It's impossible to get your hands on any kind of candy cab where I'm from without paying extreme shipping costs from other countries.

You can't buy those cabs only Batman and Count Dracula are allowed to own one.

it doesn't look like the Namco's will tate, so I'd get the Astro City and one Namco. You could restore the Astro without too much trouble and end up with a nice cab for dirt cheap.

The Namcos tate.

The Namcos tate.

really? from the pictures it doesn't look like the bezel is square, so I don't see how you could do it. maybe the image is stretched or something.

That bezel - surprisingly, looks 4:3 to me, mainly because it is inside to match the tube, the outer is square so it fits both ways.

Man this is is needlessly complex when it's pretty obvious.

I understand the concept That's how my cab tates. IF the outer was square you just tate the monitor, pop out the bezel rotate it 90 deg and put it back in.

I measured the picture on my monitor. The outside of the bezel is 1" wider than it is tall. So I don't see how you would tate this.

edit: I realized that it's my 16:9 monitor stretching the image. When I switched the aspect ratio to 4:3 it's obvious that it does in fact tate.

@ copados33: Wow, nice score, man! If it were me I would have grabbed the Namcos instead, but hopefully nobody else is interested and that guy gives you the rest, like he said!

I own a Namco Exceleena. That's how it works.
