Ok mate I trust you’ll look after it ❤️🫡Now if you ever need this gorgeous MVS to go to a new home I will definitely accommodate it for you mate
I’m a little worried a speaker may have been too close to the tube in storage.
Won’t know until I power it on ..
And that won’t be for while.
Till I’ve checked out all the power side is correct

I got the artwork kit from arcade art repro in Holland, seems good quality, has the couple of stickers you’re missing.
Buttons and sticks seemed surprisingly expensive, couldn’t find a uk option for them, used small cab. This one was wired for separate directions and grounds for the joysticks rather than the more modern 5 pin interface, someone on eBay had adapters or you can crimp your own.

Of course it goes without saying it would be my pride and joy (including my kids of course). An if you do ever considering letting it go please know I will totally be interested.

SNK MVS-U4 decal set - Arcade Art Repro
For Neo Geo MVS-U4 cabinet Machine cut to original size and shape For all three cabinet models: 25, 29 and 33 (different length stripes) Printed on ORAFOL self-adhesive vinyl laminated with a gloss laminate
arcadeartrepro.com
My control panel is even more worn, lots of the printing missing. I’ve ordered the one from that site too but it’s not due to be delivered for a couple of days so can’t comment on quality yet.
The artset is a bit darker blue but this may well be due to fading on the original.
That site also does the neo geo rental banners with g mantle which I am eyeing up.

I like the patina on mine…
But I was in the antiques business so
That’s probably why😂
Super neo 29 incoming 😉
If I can get the super neo 29 /aero and the centipede in, and my misssus don’t leave me … she’s a keeper..
I thought I had lost the keys to this mvs cab..
I had locked
Them all in the cash box.
The key I had left under the control panel ..
I’ve moved the cab into car , out of car , into final location , lifted control panel and found it fallen down the back of the pannel .. lucky it didn’t fall out!!
Or inside the cab .. I would have had to drill the locks! Most Likly would have done the pcb door first !🙏. Shin nihonkikako gods are locking down on me

I like the super neo 29s but have an idea they won’t fit through my doorways so always ruled one out

some cabs are awkward ..
Not studied it yet but 30” doors are normally
Ok .. it’s going down to 27” doors that start to get problematic
