This is the case on my MVS. The key is the same for the both locks.fastbilly1 wrote:If I am not mistaken, four slots use the same key for the coin door as the marquee.
Yep, the coin mech works perfectly and I have the coin box. I need to replace the bulbs that illuminate the slots themselves, but that's no big deal.8bit wrote:This is the case on my MVS.

Congrats on your purchase. I am sure you feel great about getting it for only $400. Question... does the coin mech still work and have its coin box? Thats the only thing mine didn't have setup (not that I really needed it for playing at home)
Oh wow that's great. The coin mech on my Mortal Kombat II cab is completely missing. The lock on the coin door is broken too, so it just kinda swings around on its own, really annoying.Phades wrote:

Seimitsu parts are stock on the Neo Geo candy cabs.jay_red wrote:Been meaning to find this out, but do the japanese MVS cabs have Sanwa style parts? All of the ones I have ever played on have terrible feeling Haap style sticks and buttons. If I were to get one I would want to swap them out, and I wonder if they fit ok, or is there any modification that is needed?
I wouldn't recommend that, though. He's going to have a bitch of a time replacing those buttons eventually.
I guess that was worded poorly, it was really 2 different parts. I was first curious if the japanese version of the MVS had Sanwa/Seimitsu parts. And when I finally get my own MVS (Big Red) will I be able to swap out the HAPP parts for Sanwa. Thanks for the answers though, you figured out what I meant lol.EllertMichael wrote:CongratsPhades wrote:I absolutely love this thing.

Are you asking if you can fit Japanese parts in an American control panel?
It's been done. I believe you can fit a JLF just by using a JLW mounting plate.
They make extended shafts and even bat tops to get the "best of both worlds."
And I once saw a picture of a guy who installed Seimitsu buttons in his big red by banging them in with a rubber mallet
I put the convex Competition pushbuttons in my Big Red as they were the closest I could find to that fast Japanese button "feel" while still being 28mm.
I just replaced my buttons the other night with those and they're great. They're very clicky and feel fantastic. I went with the competition joysticks as well and they're MUCH better than the stock ones that were in there.EllertMichael wrote:CongratsPhades wrote:I absolutely love this thing.
