The cab market continues to change rapidly. I bought two candies in 2011 for about $650 each (a Sega New Astro City and a Neo Candy 29). These days those same cabs can fetch $1200-$1800 or maybe more depending on location, quality, etc. This is not taking into account shipping, should you require freight services to acquire the cab. Rare cabs like the Taito Egret series are fetching $4000-5000 in 2023! Buying a candy cab requires a lot of research, patience, time and money.

I just traded my 1up for 2 storm city's and a bunch of parts, plus 2 neogeo boards, best deal ever!
However they ARE projects, one of which has no control panel so dunno how im gonna get one of those.

The Capcom mini cute actually looks pretty kick-ass to have in any room, hell if seen in an arcade it stick out but look good at the same time. Is it possible to make one with a wood or metal frame then make the sides with fiberglass?

How do the classic pcbs like galaga and pac-man look on a monitor of this size dose the picture quality look blurry due to the large monitor size.

Picking up a blast city tomorrow and it ticks all the boxes but the door one so far. Thanks for that tip I didnt even think about it.

Wow, now I am going to have to pick up a candy cab! Great video!

Really good video! Some excellent pointers you made here.
I did seriously look into one last year but sadly the weight and size has prevented one living in my loft.
They are a thing of beauty though :-)

Very informative video mate, this should prove highly useful for people looking to get a cab. i remember when i first got my sega naomi universal cab only to find out that it had some very nasty screen burn, school boy error :( Thanks for this video mate.

Great video dude, I did my own version of this PSA some time ago. I paid way too much for my Egret 2 but I do not regret it. I purposely rebuilt my office with a 36" door so I could stop having to remove the control panels on my cabs!

Do you have any suggestions as to where I can find the mini cute from?

Nice video! I just picked up a Taito Egret 2 in reasonable condition. It has the original Raiden Fighters PCB installed. What multi game jamma boards/pcb's can I use on this Candy Cab?

Quick question, can you swap out the pcb from any old arcade cabinet (e.g., a pacman or galaga specific arcade cabinet) and put in another pcb? Do all arcade machines use jamma like that? I'm so new and I know nothing about these things, but I'm thinking about getting in to it and your videos are helping!

Edit: Oh yeah, does the screen have to meet specific requirements for different games, or will it work for anything?

maybe obvious for some people, but I think it's worth mentioning that you shouldn't output more than 640x480 resolution to the crt if you're connecting something like a pc. bios and windows splash screens also run in a higher resolution than 480p on a modern computer, so it might be a good idea to wait for the pc to boot before you turn on the crt or you will have worse problems than screen burn-in

What about buying 72 Candy Cabinets from China to start an arcade?
