I went back to the pawn shop, and I grabbed me a copy of Super Mario Galaxy 2, and it came with the Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack CD.

Also They have several Wii Us, they have the 8 gig basic model for $150, marked down to $70...just to get rid of it. I'll be heading back tomorrow to put a down payment on it (25% of the price), and seeing if I can take it home. If not, I'll have a Wii U on tuesday...that is if it has what it needs.

Those marquee lights look like they're made of EL film. If so, they won't be terribly hard to replace, but they give off so little light that I'd seriously consider other options.

Think I may have found a place on the Neo Geo forums where I can get a set of 4 new panels for about $75. Apparently their better than the originals. Looks easy peezy to replace too. Might just go for that.

By the way coincidently I will be getting my firts candy cab also in four weeks. A New Astro city! Finally!!!!

Nope, no burn-ins! I was actually pretty impressed with the crispness of the monitor in this thing. Dame near pixel perfect!

Now I just need to find a place to get cardboard boxes that match the ones these the carts originally came in. I'd like to pick up a few a bunch, and then just scan my cart labels, reprint and stick on the boxes. And voila, a retail reproduction box! Then my next step would be to build a mini shelf tower to hold my collection that looks like the MVS cabinet with perfect slots for the boxes to sit next to the MVS. I fucking love this thing! ;)

neo-mini boxes?, don't know how close they are to the original though, also there is a place where you can download the cart labels, that's what i do if i need to replace any.

...lucky guy, totally jelly!
wiggy:
Azarkhel might be the guy to ask about those boxes.
Azarkhel:
You want the original brown kit style boxes or just boxes for your carts? There's a few options for Neo shit.
