Aero City (Asking for Arcade Cabinet Help)

**MonsterMash** · 12 Jul 2010, 04:28 PM

I have the opportunity to purchase an Aero City cabinet. I know nothing about arcade cabs.

1) I read online that Aero City has a rotatable monitor and uses a Jamma connection. Does this mean that if I were to ever purchase other Jamma boards I could play them?

2) Anything I should look at when judging the cab itself? Other than screen burn, making sure the controls work, and general cosmetics of the cab I don't know of anything to look at.

3) I've never played Aero City. Anyone know what kind of game it is?

Thanks all.

1) Should be the case, yeah.

2) I dunno!

3) Pretty sure Aero City is just the name Sega gave the cabinet model.

4) Where are you getting this? I've been thinking that I might buy a candy cabinet, like, some time this year. I realized a long time ago that I want none of that wooden bullshit up in here.

Ah!

Craigslist.

Called the guy and apparently Street Fighter is in the Aero City cab. Selling for $275.

He's also selling a Metal Slug cab along with World Heroes 2, Samurai Shodown 3, Metal Slug 2 and Fatal Fury although I doubt I'd have room for that, even after I move into a bigger place. He's selling that for $675. Again, I don't know jack about cabs, but that seems very low.

I checked out the cabs. He has a very, very different definition of "excellent condition" than I do. He also lost the key to the Aero City cab so there's no way to get easily inside it. Pass for now, although he said he'd get in touch with a lock smith and see if there's anything they can figure out.
