It’s pretty rare to see a 6 slot in good condition. Most of the time they’ve been beat up and in Keith’s case, it was no different. From powder coating the control panel, to replacing the LED displays, it seems he’s done an amazing job bringing this guy back from the dead. Also gotta love the nice and tidy shock box colletion. Check his story below:

First name or gamer tag: Keith
Years collecting: 1
Rarest game: I don’t think I have any truly rare games yet, but Waku Waku 7 was the toughest pick up so far.
Favorite game: Metal Slug 3
Anything about the Neo Geo world: I’ve wanted a Neo Geo system since I saw the ads for the AES in GamePro and the MVS machines in the arcades in the 90’s.  Last year I decided it was time and began to look for a 1-slot board to consolize.  It seemed like the smart, lowest barrier to entry.  During my search, a big red 6-slot cab just happened to show up on Craigslist and I couldn’t resist.  Of course, I had no idea what I was doing with an arcade cabinet…

It had a wonky monitor and only one cartridge slot was working when I got it.  There were missing parts and a really sticky control panel overlay sticker.  It took me a couple months to find all the parts and get everything working again, but I enjoyed every minute.  Now I have a fully functional and partially restored 6-slot in my living room.
The kids love it, especially my three year old.  Even though he is too young to really play, he still likes to get on a pedestal next to me while I play and try his hardest.  It’s pretty adorable when he asks to play Metal Slug with me.
I am grateful to people in the community like Tim.  His excellent mini marquee reproductions really look great lit up and I love having them actually match the games in play.
