Intro - hello
« on: April 24, 2016, 06:37:39 PM »
Hello,
I used to live in Tampa bay for a short period back in 2006.  I had two cabs (MAME) and Mick out of no where helped me out and rebuild the control panel.. He drove all the way from Plantcity to New Port Richey to help me out. I only lived in the area for 2 years but it was a great two years.. Love the place and when I retire I will be heading back, people are super friendly and life feels like everything is moving at a much slower pace than here in the WASHDC area.

I mainly visit the SHMUPS forum and you can find me by the same user name. I found this page because I was looking for a price check on MVC2 Naomi and there was a link to this page.  One of the guys on the tread was Mick, I think is the same Mick By looking at his last name and now reside in the UK.   Currently my arcade setup is not big because I mainly use MAME and do not have a big place.. My Mame setup is a WD9800 and WD9200. My arcade setup consist of Two Egreets II that I purchased from a fellow SHMUPS member.. The Egreets are mainly for CPS2/3 Darksolft Multy, NEOGEO and NAOMI. I am also big into retro games and all my consoles are RGB and I am using an NEC 29plus. I hope to make good friends here and hopefully to contribute to the community somehow.. So that is me in a nutshell:)

Two Egreets II

How about a trade you a giant stack of jamma boards for one of those ;) ;D 8)?  While I'm no candy fanatic, we have a few around here like yourself so you'll fit in just fine.

Mick,
Those are clones.. I have seen them and they are made out of cheap parts.. Heck I souce two new LCD monitors from Taita Japan, one of those monitor cost more that a new Vewlix clone.. I am hunting the original Taito Vewlix Dimond mint condition and I will replace the LCD screen with one of the new LCD that I souce from Taito.. The plan is to put a PC and play steam PC fighting arcade type games.

The EIIs originated from the Tampa Bay Area and I was lucky to have gotten then, they are mint and super. The previous owner was very picky like me when it cakes to toys and took great care of them. The NEC, I got it here in the WASHDC area:).
