    Parcel motel makes them a lot more affordable with cheaper postage.

    I struggled to get a 60kg super king size mattress up my U shaped stairs the other day, I can only imagine the sweat and swearing involved with taking doors off or needing ramps!

    Feck that :D

    I have a spare stepdown if you need one. It's not an airline but it's the black one a few people here have used the same one.

    I got it with my cyber lead hassle, with 110/220 and not being told it was converted

    Cheers for that, I bit the bullet and ordered an Airline stepdown - I've got a good few Japanese systems and only one stepdown so having one in the game shed will suffice for other stuff too!

    Cabinet should be here on Monday!

    Oh yes. Turns on, but the game I ordered to test is still enroute.

    Getting it through the door wasn't so bad

    Not it's final home, need to drag it to the shed in the garden. My wife won't be able to help there!

    It's filthy inside.

    Wow, that's absolutely gorgeous. The externals look to be in great condition - nice to see you got an original marquee holder for the top too.

    Cheers all! Just realised I should've made my own thread instead of continuing to hijack this one!

    o1s1n, the plastic marquee came as a surprise alright! Up close, you can see the wear and tear, but I'm going to play the long game when it comes to restoring any issues.

    eddhorse, I bought Puzzle Bobble and a 1-slot MVS as a tester, I love the game and the missus will enjoy it. My wish list is LONG, but I think most of the time I'll have a MiSTer in there connected to a JPAC.

    geotrig, Ah, I thought MVS wiring was just the 4th button into an unused pin on the Jamma harness?

    Absolutely agree, nice and clean compared to some things I've seen and I've only seen a few cabinets.

    Do you mind me asking where you sourced this machine Colonel Panic - was it from RKLOK? I'll be looking for something along similar lines myself in a couple of months.

    Yeah I got it from RKLOK.

    To answer your original post. Lifting it is a 2 man job.

    You can take the panel off if needed, but the Aero City is probably narrow enough so you won’t need to disassemble anything.

    Do some measurement!

    technically that is still just jamma as it can support up to 5 buttons , a few other games utilise 4 buttons so its not unique to n/g hence the extra options ,most use an additional harness , ng mvs std is wired slightly different for 2-6 slots and 1 maybe 2 variations of the 1 slot but they have a switch iirc to work with jamma wiring ,its mainly the sound output that different. Most 1 slots are Jamma

    Yeah, been doing a lot of reading and spending of money over the past few days.

    The 4th buttons aren’t wired up all the way to the harness anyway, so I think I’ll do something modular so I can connect to button 4 for Neo Geo stuff, and 6 button games.
