Well this wont help. This is the type of place a large qualtity of the candies in Europe come from. Or so I'm told by the candy man in Japan.TechnoFreek wrote: »One man's junk is another man's treasure / restoration job!

Didn't see any candies but this dump is a bit closer to home(UK I think).
Killed the link because of possible dodgy site
Edit:
Get a bigger view of the horror

That bigger pic is so depressing. I can see a Blast just below yer man in the pic, it's missing the back and has the neck of the CRT exposed to the elements. :eek:
Hopefully nobody went and put their hand in there either.0 -

I'm pretty sure that cab with no back is a Neo Candy 29. You can tell by the side art. - which is even MORE depressing than it being a Blast City!

pretty much all the cabs in this pic are clones which got scrapped due to them being clones this is somewhere in china iirc ..most candies in europe that where got in group orders came from closing arcade's etc and not dumps ,no idea where ronnie gets his but there was a bit of story behind how he started in the business0 -

Holy crap. Ronnie told me he had another Candy 25 but with no rotate mech. So I wasn't really interested.
Until I saw it that is!
Very tempted to go for this.
Edit - measured up the door frame, this'll come in with about 10cm to spare!
Just sent Ronny an email...0 -

(except I'd personally never buy from Ronnie again because of my experiences with him, others have had great experiences of course).

That'd be one of my big concerns. I have horrible visions of an old cab, monitor going kaput - being left with a very big paperweight! I guess that's something we face with all cabs though - maybe it'd be best first to check and see if it's a generic 25 inch monitor which can be easily replaced?Also factor in the cost of six-buttoning that bad boy!
Wouldn't need to, I don't really play any 6 button games
The one modification I'd want to make to it is to give it proper Neo Geo button colours, like so -

It seems to be an official button placement, although I have seen one where the buttons were in a straight line - I think this cab is earlier and a bit rarer than the one I posted above. The curve of the chrome is a bit more angled than that MVS 4 slot cab too.
The button placement doesn't bother me at all to be honest. From what I can remember (it's been a while since I've played any of my MVS carts), the only time I'd be using button 4 is parry in The Last Blade. And it might be even easier to pull off in that configuration - the colours would bother me more
You're right, most games I'd be playing would be horizontal. Would be nice to have the option of tate though for the 3-4 boards I have.
It's annoying actually, do you remember the other SNK candy 25 he had? It didn't look nearly as nice as this, but had a tate feature. Shame it wasn't on this one instead!!0 -

if it was me and i had the money i'd buy it,
Also you mentioned that this has no rotate mech,it was made for mvs so wouldnt have one, but iirc it is rotateable0 -
