Neo Geo MVS Arcade Cabinet: Big Red!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2024
- It's really strange that after all this time I have never really shown my Neo Geo MVS Big Red arcade machine. I decided to take a few minutes and give a quick overview of maybe one of the finest arcade machines to grace American arcades in the 90s. So here it is, this is my Neo Geo MVS Big Red!

Growing up, I don’t think I ever saw a Neo Geo in an arcade where it would be well cared for. They were always in a pizza place or convenience store and pretty beaten up. So, and this is just me, if I wanted an authentic feeling cab I’m not sure how much restoration I’d do :)
Oh there are for sure people who prefer the rugged look. I don’t mind some dings and scratches here and there. Anything moderate or that impairs functionality though I correct.
I actually bought my own Big Red after discovering your channel almost two years ago and realizing that owning an arcade cabinet was something actually attainable to a 30-something adult with some expendable cash and some free time. You may possibly remember me pestering you with a bunch of naive questions on twitter back in 2019 😅
Anyway, thanks for the inspiration!
My experience was similar to yours. Lots to fix up, lots to learn. I recapped my first monitor, replaced the flyback, powder coated the control panel and replaced the sticks, repaired the motherboard and swapped the BIOS, etc.
It’s been a journey, but it’s been really rewarding. I’ve now been bitten by the arcade bug and this was quickly followed by more acquisitions... Donkey Kong, Sega OutRun, and a New Net City candy cab!
That typically seems to be the case; I’ll just get one. Then, you find an excuse or a reason to get another. “It’s cheap and I know a lot now.”
So on and so on.
I definitely remember you Mike. I also see your posts from time to time in various groups and forums. Glad to see you doing well and enjoying the hobby:
TH-cam vid or it didn’t happen! :P
I was probably the only person in my city using a memory card at the arcade 😂 I ordered one from SNK because it was the only thing they sold that I could afford! It allowed me to beat Shodown 1 and 2, World Heroes 2, and Super Sidekicks 2, without an insane amount of quarters.
Glad to finally see a tour of the Big Red! ....it's strange I didn't notice several other machines were shown before this one haha
That’s amazing. I didn’t know anyone that owners one back then. Cool you actually got solid use out of it!
You're the very first person I have EVER heard of that utilized one back then. That is awesome!!!
@@IamMarkSmith ha! It only took about 25 years for someone else to realize how cool it was! Better late than never! I called SNK, they told me the price (I THINK it was $29, but not sure) I was just as excited to receive a catalog of Neo Geo games and consoles, and a Dog Tag official Neo Geo fan club pin. I only showed it off to my brother who didn't really care 🤣🤣🤣
@@nocallnoshow6878 🤣
I'm so envious. I have 3 japanese SNK arcade cabinets but my favourite SNK machine of all time is the american red version. That's such a gorgeous red machine, I love it.
Great video as always!
Thanks Eric. It’s funny because I really love the Candy Cabs! I’ve almost been able to snag one a few times but it just hasn’t worked out. They’re very cool. Three of them eh!?
I have a big red MAME cab in my living room. It's massive and has its own companion hand truck
Awesome!! I’m waiting on a MVS-U4 which is effectively the Japanese candy version of this, so it’s great to see a tour of the machine.
One thing of note with the memory card... I’m working on is a 1cc of every entry in the Metal Slug series, and the ability to start at any given level for practice purposes is huge. Grinding through the early game every time can get heavy, even with a game as fun as Metal Slug.
I guess in the real world, when your quarters (or Yen, I guess?) were limited, being able to pick up where you left off last time must have been a cool feature too.
Yeah the memory card save is a life saver from that regard. I wouldn’t mind eventually getting a NeoSaveMasta for added space. You’re totally right though as far as picking up games even from a casual standpoint. It’s a really neat feature for older arcade hardware like this.
@@ScarletSprites would love a NeoSaveMasta, but they’re so hard to get hold of! Sell out immediately each year. Brilliant product though.
Thanks for sharing, always been a dream to own a big red, my MVSX will have to do for now. Keep up the great content.
Thanks Kevin. Congrats on the MVSX purchase too, that’s a cool unit.
I have a Single-Slot Neo Geo MVS board, and I want to turn it into a memory-card loadable Cocktail-style cabinet.
That’s cool, that’s definitely one thing on my list in the next few years; a cocktail cab.
Looks great and your basement looks great.
Yeah, if I can get a few more cabs to better hide the concrete and frame, hell, who needs walls!?
Arcade stuff is a bit beyond me but I always love your videos!
I appreciate you stopping by and watching anyways. I do always try to mainstream the videos as much as I can so that they make sense to a broader audience.
Great stuff. I have a Big Red and got it way back when the neo was first introduced in the arcade( showing my age). I got a deal and it was like new. I just recently converted it to all sanwa sticks and buttons and i love it. I know some might cringe, but i have a vewlix F and sanwa is the way to go, I hate the springy bats. I did it so i did not alter any wiring from stock, so if so i can go back with ease. Love to see the restorations , just awesome.
I did not know about light panels. You are my hero.
GORGEOUS cab! So much care put into it. Congrats, man! 👏🏼
Thanks so much man!
Okay but that game selection in the 4 slots are all sick choices.
Also thanks for posting this. To date I've yet to see the innards of a Big Red! They're more simple than I thought.
It’s actually not overly complex. A JAMMA cab is even easier (no memory card pcb or cycling marquee).
I would agree on the games too. They find themselves in that cabinet pretty frequently.
Awesome. Makes me want to make the jump into buying a cab
It’s definitely a hobby all it’s own but a worthwhile one imo.
Oh god there really was a rat... I thought you were kidding when you alluded to them in the Big Blue video!
I wish I could insert that meme of Han Solo, “It’s true, all of it.”
Hey, I remember these growing up! :D
I would see this all the time in the laundromat growing up, and alot of Spanish speaking people would play stuff like Metal Slug, KOF and Super Sidekicks 2 on it!
Fun fact: Neo-Geo is really popular in Latin America!
It’s truly is quite a worldly console/system. It’s crazy how it’s games popularity vary by region too. I hear from so many people around the world all the time. It’s amazing.
The « heart » of neo geo with red light around in the dark (when you show in the big red) ! It’s exactly neo geo mvs player said when speaking about and only us can understand 👍😄
My favorite slot is the 4’ slot... they re all the same yeah but... this model had something... not a « beauty » light other arcade pcb or console (it’s not arcade I know ^^) but he’s cool and pretty 😄
Nice video like always ✌️🕹
Ps : perhaps one day I try find one in us 🇺🇸
Great work Scarlet Sprites! Nice score on that Big Red. My childhood was spent playing games on that Cab. One day I may own one
Thanks man, it’s a pretty great machine.
I've been a candy cab owner for 15 years this year, but I would 100% grab a big red and maybe a big blue if the chances ever came up. Great videos as always! :)
You can definitely own both. I don’t think you’d regret a Neo Geo. Plenty of great games to cycle through and hell, now there are even flash carts which didn’t exist when I got this.
@@ScarletSprites oh I have a neo candy, but if I was going to get a us cab its going to be a big red for certain :)
That's a classic arcade. Spent tons of time playing those beat Metal Slug, Samurai Showdown, and Real Bout Fatal Fury Special with one quarter on one of those big reds
It’s truly an icon of the 90s, I agree. 1CC on MS is no joke. I don’t know if I’ll ever get there.
Fantastic video. Walked through all the details in a clear and pleasant way, as usual.
I always try to walk the line of giving just enough to be interesting but not overly technical and daunting. Appreciate the feedback.
The swap meets I used to go to always had a NEO GEO multi-cade. 😎
Definitely a machine of an era and place. It’s funny how many people can recall where they saw these.
A piece of striking beauty it is Scarlet. The Big Red Neo-Geo MVS units is the reason why I became a Neo-Geo buff and it all started in Paramus, NJ at a local Dairy Queen in 1990. They were being wheeled off the distributors truck and had absolutely no idea what they were at the time. The manager explained to me that it was constructed by SNK and you can play up to 4 games in one unit by switching them with a press of a button.
At first, I was more fascinated by the technology of the cabinet. Then came the games. The first one out of them all was none other than Magician Lord. The game that started my love towards the Neo-Geo and a buff soon after that day. It's been never a dull moment since Scarlet. 8^)
I posted this up on the Neo-Geo thread on Atariage.com for you. It's on post #25,566 for you to view. Thank you as always Scarlet. Always in the mood to see you in action. 8^)
Anthony..
Magician Lord is truly the Alpha. Tough as nails launch title. I played a lot of Nam 1975, Super Spy, and Baseball Stars 2 myself.
I just picked one up for $200 today! I’m excited!
Incredible. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching man.
@@ScarletSprites This is one of my 'dream machines' so it's always great to see one!
I spent years trying to get an original MVS cabinet. I could never find one at an approachable price. I ended up having my own built via CNC and painting by hand. I would have preferred to preserve one, but after 8 years of trying and having every other part, I decided having one made was the only way I'd ever see one in my home.
Great to see an original up and running.
That’s cool. You probably got it cheaper and learned a lot wiring it yourself. Not to mention it’s 100% clean. Was it tough finding a monitor?
Nice video as always! You really have a great arcade collection!! :)
Thanks man!
I think full scale replicas will be the future. First came Arcade 1up, then Atgames Arcade Legends and Iircade (bigger machines). The last step will be full replicas.
I’d love to actually see that happen.
Excellent job. Love the big red cab. Looks just like I remember when I was a kid. I agree 100% that 100% means 100% working.
Haha, yeah that pissed me off a little. It’s different if you say “it works”. But saying it’s 100% and missing sound from a speaker, not having a lit marquee (then alone cycling marquees), a dingy monitor with banding and horizontal lines, and I’m sure other things I forgot? No, lol.
arcade history right there, wish companies could rebuild as replica instead of these 3/4 versions or table tops
I think there is more of an interest in that than some people think. I keep wondering if we will see that in five years or so from anyone.
@@ScarletSprites I would get new replica full size version in a heartbeat lol big red, big blue, candy cab etc maybe one of these 3/4 players will do it 👍
I wasn't aware how small those Arcade1Ups were until I saw one in person. They're TINY. No thanks. I have a Hyperspin full size cab with a 27 inch pro CRT with an LCD marquee that changes depending on the game and I'm fine with that. It weighs like 215 pounds and it's glorious. Real men can play it without breaking it.
@@Gorilla_Jones oh man nice
Man another quality video with the information I am looking for.
I have 2 four-slots and they are beautiful. But currently have 1 in my moms garage and 1 i put in my office at work (hopefully I don’t get fired anytime soon).
Now I have minor OCD.... and both big reds have the headphone jack and the memory card slot disconnected. Instead of browsing through AliExpress... I’m gonna reach out to this company and see if they can help me with restoring functionality.
(In unrelated news... waiting for an official release of the MiSTerCade)
MiSTerCade is coming. Still beta testing the latest board revision. I’m glad that so many people are actually interested in that addon.
I'm happy you finally shared your MVS big red cabinet with us. I own the MVS-4 upright cabinet and having one in my home completes my adolescent dream. I love it so much that overtime, I have invested in buying spare parts for it just in case the ones on my cab fail. Admittingly it's not cheap, but well worth having a piece of mind. Nice cab, thanks again for sharing.
Thanks man, nice to hear you have one of your own. Did you replace speakers by chance? Just curious what other people may have went with.
@@ScarletSprites Fortunately for me my speakers are still in amazing condition and sound great. The cabinet was barely ever used and sat in a lawyers office for many years until I acquired it . I even have the original purchase receipt directly from SNK in California given to me by him. Still, having said that, the cabinet is 29 years of age and that's why I keep spares. Luckily for me I have yet to replace anything. That day will come I'm sure.
Nice restoration work.
Whenever I think of Neo Geo, my mind always gives me the image of those beautiful Big Red machines first and foremost which seemed to be at every pizza place, laundromat and arcade when I was child.
I remember one at the movie theater I used to go to. They also has one at a local sports bar. It’s funny how you remember where they were isn’t it?
@@ScarletSprites: That's the power of nostalgia. It can make you recall very detailed memories as though you were just there yesterday.
Great channel. Always shocked there aren't more subscribers. Production is great, content is fantastic...Just all around enjoyable videos. Keep up the great work. BTW, we had one of these "big reds" in the bowling alley at my college in the 90's. Brings back some great memories...
Thanks Matt! Yeah arcade machines and to a lesser extent even games just don’t have nearly as wide an audience as your latest Nintendo port. It’s definitely a generational thing. That’s ok though, I like the niche aspect of it.
I guess it gets old very quickly when you have as many cabs as you do, but in a way, the "to be fixed" parts of a cab is what I'm looking forward to the most alongside with actually playing it. Of course the fact those were hidden is kind of a d*** move but well. I don't have a lot of nostalgia for western cabinets because I didn't have many of those around me when I grew up and I usually hate the controls (litteraly can't play with a bat top) but I'll make an exception for this one, there's just something about those Neo Geo cabs. Thanks for the eye candy
I actually don’t mind it. The stuff that bothers me the most is the actual woodworking or cabinet structure stuff. I’m just not good at it and I avoid it at all costs.
MY guy. Your style is so good. The vids keep getting better and better and better. Let’s charge to 20k subs!
Hah, that’s pretty ambitious. I gotta clear 10k first. Thanks for the kind words though.
Blazing Star!
That sneaks in from time to time too.
Great break down as always, thank you for sharing. 😎👍
Thanks man, I always appreciate you stopping by and supporting!
Better late than never @Scarlet Sprites! I am so excited to see this. I have huge nostalgia for this particular cabinet as most arcades in the CT. and NY. areas I grew up in had one. It also helped that my friend owned an AES so between the two I was playing Neo Geo quite a bit since 1992. I never get tired of seeing them being preserved and played. There are still a few orphans out there I see people mention from time ti time. I hope more people are able to keep these around for a long time to come.
I agree Mark. It’s crazy seeing fields and dumps with these things rotting in them. There seems to be a market for cabs now too, maybe more so than even five years ago. I don’t know if that’s just an age thing but competition and prices have definitely gone up. Hopefully that also means that more are being salvaged and restored.
@@ScarletSprites I think also people are seeing in a lot of ways depending upon what a cabinet needs for reconditioning a lot of it can be done DIY. Imagine some of the coolest cabinets like those sit-down "Hang-On" and "Outrun" that are sitting somewhere forgotten about. Ugh, I can't stand the thought lol.
Todd from TNT Amusements loves the Wells-Gardner
It’s a great monitor really. Parts are readily available and they look gorgeous when cleaned up and running.
It's a beautiful and awesome machine
It really is one of the greats from the 90s.
That big red os by far your coolest cab dude.. My personal favorite all time!!!
It’s hard to argue that it isn’t at least the most iconic cabinet in the basement. Daytona probably is right behind it but that beast is a one trick pony.
As a 2 Slot cabinet owner I have to say this: I want a 4 Slot. I don't know why, my 2 Slot works great but I have always been like "I NEED MORE SLOTS! MORE GAMES GOING!"
Hah, I’ve seen the Sixer and have thought hmmmm. Definitely don’t need it and that thing is a beast. You could always just toss a four slot board into your two slot cab.
@@ScarletSprites I know of the six but have never seen one in the wild myself, but if I did and I had the money I could see myself buying it and not eating for a week or two while I played more Neo Geo.
I understand how you would forget. You covered a lot of Neo Geo related products, you shown off a glimpse of it on camera, and even shown off your machine just to 1-up the announcement of a 1-up KOF cabinet. It even made me forget that you never really covered it.
A few people have asked from time to time and it just struck me as odd that I never really showed it. So definitely was about time.
@@ScarletSprites Agreed.
Thank you for sharing! Loved the video.
Thanks man!
Well, that’s an awfully nice cabinet. I mean really nice. Golly. I hope it doesn’t make anyone sad.
Skyward Sword is being ported. Plenty for people to be happy about.
Yes! More Neo Geo greatness! Just what I needed for a night cap! Awesome stuff.!
Hah, glad I could help put you to sleep! Lol.
I would love to see a custom dedicated Windjammers machine one day
Its interesting that we got that cool Samurai Showdown 2 cab but never really anything else dedicated from SNK here in North America. Windjammers has become such a cult hit post release. Would be cool to see the full length artwork on gracing the side of a cab.
@@ScarletSprites my local had a Samurai Shodown II projector set up. It certainly seemed custom. The screen was 12 foot diagonal and it had its own cooling system! It is what inspired me to build my projector av cart. I wouldn't want a cabinet now, it is so easy for me to roll the entire cart into the closet when not in use. Great video Sprites!
Thanks for the comprehensive tour! I’ve never actually seen one of the Big Red’s in the flesh so it was an interesting walkthrough.
In England we had Neo Geo 4 slot arcade machines but the cabinets were black ‘Electrocoin’ machines and definitely less iconic than these.
If you get over for TMG some year you might get to see one at the freeplay arcade. I think they’ve had one a few of the years it’s run.
@@ScarletSprites Yes I’m still hoping to be able to make it over at some point; perhaps next year possibly? 🤞🏼
Would be good to see a ‘big blue’ Capcom cabinet as well, as I don’t recall ever seeing one of those here either. Aside from the generic black cabinets and the dedicated cockpit / motorbike / car ones the only others we had were the Sega Blast City and Astro City’s.
That’s cool though because Astros and Blasts really weren’t a common thing at all in the States. At least, not outside of CA.
My lifelong dream of owning one of these is diminishing every day and maybe that’s not so bad given the maintenance required and the MiSTer. That said, nothing’s going to beat the feel of standing in front of these to play my favorites
Well you can grab a MiSTer and be prepped for MiSTerCade if you ever do find a cabinet. Actually any JAMMA cabinet will work for that and you’d instantly have access to all the Neo titles then too.
Very nice find!
It’s a pretty solid cab all around. You can still find them but condition is starting to vary more than I remember a few years ago.
Played The Big Red (Neo Turf Masters, Windjammers) many times in the old arcades here in OZ
Those are the ones that belong in this guy. Got to have Metal Slug too.
Just listened to Nathans Barnett’s NEO GEO song and found this.
Classic. I’ve listened to that more times than anyone should. May have also seen a live performance of it. What a time to be alive.
Bravo, fantastic video. Love these kinds of technical videos. Love the background music, and overall camera capture. Can't wait for the update on ur speakers upgrade. Thanks for sharing
That means a lot that you said that. I’ve been trying to learn new things to improve videos here and there. It’s kind of the hobby behind the hobby. There’s a lot of video and shots that never make it into these videos that I weed out. Thanks for noticing the small improvement I’ve been working on.
@@ScarletSprites oh nooooo. Thank you for making them.
Yeah, I've notice you stepped up in this video the second I started watching. I was like, "Wait a minute there." Hahahaha.
As for the buttons, a lot of people love the convex style buttons for neogeo. I my self using convex style on most of my arcade sticks. I have one concave for pure street fighter, just like i remembered. Thanks again.
This is definitely my white whale. Awesome!
Thanks man!
Beautiful 4-slot cabinet! I forgot about those EL panels, I gotta get 2 of them myself. Yeah so funny that you never made a proper video for this cabinet until now.
Yeah it just totally slipped my mind. Thought it was about time.
Fun and educational. Thank you.
Thanks for stopping by man!
That was awesome. It's a beautiful cab man. You did a great job!
Thanks man! It’s come a long way.
I’m getting some cab this summer and am really looking forward to it!
You almost can’t go wrong, Good hunting!
Great video and love your setup
Thanks man!
Hi Scarlet, awesome content there (like always, actually :P ) Did you print the sticker for the memory card/headphones by yourself? if you do, could you please provide the image file? I'm missing that sticker on my big red and I would love to have it (the arrows for P1 & P2 coin are missing as well on mine =( ) Thanks again for always present cool content. Greetings from Argentina
Yes, I did print it. I got the file online at some point a few years ago on a forum I think. There are a few places printing them on vinyl now as well.
I was able to grab a Big Red last year, but it is the South America model, red one, not blue one. Main differences goes as coinage being a single insert, no credit LED count, 21" RGB monitor instead of bigger one and a foot raiser around 3" high.
It was in really bad shape, rot on lower foot, altered button panel, damaged monitor board and an old PC and jamma interface instead of the actual MVS arcade board.
I'm in the middle of process of restoration this week. Since it has become quite difficult ans expensive to get a MVS board around here lately, I've decided to use a PC for mutigames. NeoGeo only ones, of course.
Have changed the monitor to a CRT TV one, which will get signal from a VGA to component converter.
Still deciding if I'm gonna use Batocera 15kHz or Groovy Arcade as the OS tho.
In the future I intend to replicate a full cabinet, maybe using a 25/29" monitor and maybe use a MVS, sincr I got 3 games in cartridge for it.
Awesome man! Best of luck with the project. Congrats on that huge pickup.
Great video as usual.
GJ in the house! Can always count on you man.
Not sure if the coin counter was ever reset... but that represents $13,440.25. Sure there are operating costs, but not too shabby! the cabinet paid for itself at least 2x over. Do you happen to know what an Arcade Venue would have paid for a brand new 4 slot cabinet (without games)?
That’s a really good question, I don’t know. It seems like most of the SNK flyers offered titles and/or memory cards with the purchase of a cabinet. I’ll have to do some digging. That info has to be out there.
@@ScarletSprites All I know is... if SNK were to start building 4 Slot MVS cabinets today, I'd buy one and find somewhere to put it. The only difficult thing would be the CRT display. I can't imagine anyone is still making them. Someone needs to invent the thing that is a CRT that isn't really a CRT. A flat screen that doesn't require a thick tube but essentially indistinguishable from the real deal. A pipe dream I know... but it probably could be done.
Honestly I’d just settle for a low lag 25” 4:3 monitor. No one is even making those then alone CRTs. I really thought with the cost of LCDs being as low as it seems today that someone would be able to capitalize on selling those.
Nice.. This is my fav all time cab. I have one too, had to replace EL panels, but no coin mech. Can you let me know what model the coin mechs are please? Thanks
Awesome video man! Big fan of the big red!
Glad you liked it, it’s definitely an icon of the 90s.
Do you agree that Heavy Smash is the most underrated neo geo game ever made
I’ve actually never played that. It’s unfortunately not a Neo game though. Data East wasn’t kind enough to offer that on Neo Geo, they did their own release on that one. Looks cool though.
Wow next time u get a chance and you are near a Pandora’s box no matter how much I know u hate them, give heavy smash a try for sure 😚👌
That’s a beautiful cab! Thanks for the tour. Do you know what brand joysticks were used originally in the Neo Geo cabs?
That’s a good question. It’s one I used to know which makes me feel bad I can’t answer. Also makes me feel old.
Brother im still waiting for a clean big red neo geo review, aaand im waiting for a neo geo candy cab pick up video :D tou gotta do it man !
Haha, my cabinet acquisition days have probably slowed tremendously. I have a few to finish but for the most part it’s probably just collecting the occasional board from time to time.
@@ScarletSprites I fully suppory whatever you do, tbh you are the only channel that truly speaks about neo geo and thank you for that !!! I wish i could buy a big red neo geo cab, but i live in EU and here are none that i could find, the candy cab mvs is just begging for you to get it bro, trust me, they will be the most expensive out there, thats why i would like that you get one because you are the one who truly deserves anything neo geo, love your work and keep em videos coming !! :D
Scarlet Sprites ... this may be a dumb question but... Did you ever hear the rumor from back in the day that Neo Geo were developing an arcade game that would eat up 2 slots?
Hah, I’ve never heard that but I really don’t see what the point of that would be. The motherboard itself is what it is, you’re not harnessing more power by interfacing to it twice.
Great video as always. Does your cab have a unibios installed ?.
Yep! I bought that from Raz years ago, but am currently running the latest v4.0 these days. Highly recommended.
I know you prefer to do most restoration and repair work yourself or by someone you know closeby. But for folks that either lack technical prowess or like me suffer from chronic hand tremors that make it next to impossible to do work on electronics, are there any folks or small mom and pop type operations that do resto work that you'd recommend going to?
I’m not sure about actual cabinet woodworking type work although I’m sure if you called around someone out there would take your money. As for the actual technical repairs and stuff I usually have my go to as ArcadeCup.com or thearcadebuffet.com for monitors. Will at RetroHacks.net will also do some repairs and mods. He’s getting into arcade stuff more but is great with the console stuff already. Ken at irepairsega.com is the Sega master (and former employee). It costs more to ship things out and back, but these people actually know what they’re doing. You can also find individuals who do work on specific boards on KLOV.com
So ultimately yes it’s more time consuming, annoying, and can be more expensive to send out but imo you’re better off knowing your stuff is actually being repaired or serviced properly.
Big Red!!! Finally!!!
Long overdue.
🔥🔥🔥
thank you for the amazing video 🌹.
my new mvs 2-slot need alot of work ,
there is sound but no picture at all , its look like the monitor not turned on ?
where to order parts for this amazing neo geo ,
like "flyback" , i think i need new flyback.
thank you so much sir .
You need to know which type of chassis you have. In my case it’s a common K7000. You can grab flybacks from a number of places, but I’d trust arcadepartsandrepair.com since he tests his inventory.
@@ScarletSprites great . thank you for the information🌹
@@ScarletSprites i cannot open the middle wooden board from the back of the cabinet? i just can remove the upper part and the down power supply wooden door,
but i can see the sticker on the tube it show " Zenith" is this the chassis ?
or the chassis mean the motherboard for the tube ?
this cabinet cost me about 900$ and the condition is very very poor, it came with 2 mvs cart , (supersid kick, and the art of fighting) even i don't have the key to open the 2 front door ,
from where to buy the key by the way ? there is another lock for the marquee i cannot open anything on my poor 900$ big red . i guess its full of coins.
i pied this much because i am very far from USA , and this one is the only one in my country and i don't know how it arrived ,it was for about 15 years turned off ,
sometimes i told myself what i have done ? for 900$ poor cabinet and not working its look like nightmare.
i am new to arcade world , there is more arcade there i think they are very rare , one of the them is black and have "fire shark "game jamma when i saw from inside , and another one from atari "Guardians of the Hood " sticker original cabinet . and there is more wooden cabinet " HI-tech " from google they look like urban from late 80s???did you know anything about them are they rare .?
how to contact you maybe they are treasure.
I did a recap of my k7000 to fix some of the banding issues you seemed to be having as well. However, I also noticed the screen appears to be a bit dim. I'm not sure if this is the original brightness but it does seem a bit off. Would replacing the flyback affect the brightness in anyway?
It definitely can. Did you adjust your screen setting on the flyback?
@@ScarletSprites Yes I have tried redialling the brightness and focus to acceptable levels. Yet I feel the brightness isnt as good as it can be. SVC Chaos intro seems very dark compared to TH-cam footage. Just me being a perfectionist when it comes to my big red. Great video by the way. Was a bit surprised you hadn't done this one way sooner.
AAAAA LUCKYYYYY
Sometimes.
@@ScarletSprites gimmeeeeee!!!
I came into an original one of these while clearing out a house. I am not nor never have been a player (okay boomer). I would like to know what I might be able to get $$ for this unit. I think it works.
There's a lot that factors into what a cabinet is worth. Knowing that last part is going to be critical. Does all of it work? The board, the marquee, coin mechs etc. Overall condition of the cabinet will dictate pricing as well. The games (if any) are included can also bump the price. Is the monitor sharp and crisp (if original). Lastly, region can also factor into things. Arcade machines seem to be relatively hot right now. You can always list it and field offers.
I always thought these were called Tall Boys, and the all red sided single panel ... Those are "Big Red"
Those original sticks you had look like happ supers with a circle actuator , is that what Neo Geos originally used ? Those definitely have a different feel that IL or Happ competition.
Yep, checkout some of the pics in the old flyers. I need to derust them, clean them up, and get some new microswitches. It’s been a while since I’ve played with them
Great video! What are the pots in the arcade cabinet?
Oh the remote board? It’s for adjusting the monitor settings; black level, contrast, horizontal/vertical position and height.
@@ScarletSprites Thanks! I really appreciate answers like this. You’re a great teacher 🙂
👏👏👏👏
Thank you thank you.
Those original joysticks are the one I been trying to search for. I can careless about IL sticks. I have 1 original and need a second. Anybody know who makes them? Or replica? I can't fi d them anywhere
Great video but, Where did we go wrong where Arcade1up channels are plentiful and Authentic arcade Channels like urs are far and in between? 🤦🏾♂️😫
It’s all about what’s popular, ya know? Relatively easy to grab a 1Up and talk about it and even more likely that others have done the same. There just isn’t a huge audience for arcade stuff and I think that keeps people from talking about it or even spending time making videos.
Do you always track down original mini marquees, or do you buy repros?
All the Neo stuff is original. I don’t mind reproductions but if I see a nice original I’d grab it. The reproduction on my ST-V is trash so definitely need to wait out finding an original in some situations.
@@ScarletSprites It seems like there are dozens of people that do marquee repros, but I don't necessarily trust what I've seen, especially when it comes to something really transluscent like a mini marquee.
Holy Dead Rat....
Always a classic pic!
Sooo, you are basically saying you wouldn’t buy from this seller again? ;)
Hah, that’s actually really funny you mention that. As I was making this video I oddly came across something I wanted and recognized the seller. It was cheap so I stupidly rolled the die again and figured wth. It was a pcb that arrived missing a capacitor. Easy fix (and I happened to have the cap on hand)...but seriously? I blame myself.

Thanks man, very much appreciated!
@@ScarletSprites ok brother abraço inscreva se
Sure technically speaking it is a very nice machine, but if it isn't related to Del Taco then what are we all doing?
Agreed. The coin bucket could be used condiment storage I suppose. Line up a bar across the control panel. You could probably warm things on the inside monitor if you’re feeling lucky.
I sent you an email for some help Hopefully you can respond .
