Greetings to my fellow collectors!

As I mentioned, in addition to traditional games, I love arcade machines, a throwback to my gaming youth I suppose. Used to collect Neo Geo AES stuff years ago, but got away from it. Always wanted a dedicated cab as that was what I played in the arcade and I finally picked up a Neo Geo Big Red cab and fully restoring it. It has all new buttons, joysticks, paint and decals. I also redid the wiring and routed everything inside really cleanly, with new speakers and EL panel lighting.

I then hunted down my other favorite fighting game setup which was CPS2 based and is by Capcom. The cab is known as the "Big Blue" and it it a first generation version. This thing is a monster and makes the Big Red seem light. It is factory new clean inside and out. I can play all CPS2 Capcom games from Aliens vs Predator to Xmen vs Streetfighter in their original hardware glory:

Next I searched for and found a Sega New Net City candy cab. I wanted this particular model as it was one of the newest of that type and has arguably the best arcade CRT ever produced in the Toshiba PF. Being a Japanese cab, it was not easy to find one in the shape I wanted and get it to the east coast. Once it was here, I put in a Namco System 256 to run Tekken 5 DR and Soul Calibur 3 AE as well as niche titles such as Sengoku Basara X.
