There overpriced Peter.. Simple as, I do all my own work.. Every part, and they cost a small fortune to put right.
Some guys have to get there chassis repaired, get paint done. Costing even more these days.

Have never had an Egret 2 myself, is it possible to neck the tube when using the rotate mechanism?

If not I wonder how they broke it.

I've heard of someone doing this with a newly received E2. The cables were snagged.

Its still meant for service engineers & not home users so you need to know what your doing before rotating.

Rotating a Sega framed monitor can be easier.

What's the going rate for an Aero these days, any idea? Haven't seen Ronnie list one for a while (his NACs seem to be sitting around the €1895)

It's all a bit mental but it's still nowhere near the madness I've seen on asking prices for candy cabinets in the US. Currently an Egret II up on arcade-projects for $6,500 :-o

Wow £1420

for a cab with a broken screen & one fuzzy picture so who knows what the actual condition is like.

Still could be a cheap fix if the chassis is good.

The going rate is the next listed for (cheeky) price as that's what people think its worth & will pay.

That egret is only worth it to someone who wants a cab for spares or has a spare tube/chassis

Strange how the camera wasn't fuzzy on that cab & had lots of pics.

Rusty cabs now reduced & SNK 25 sold.

I wonder what that sega will go for


The snk - ad states he has 5. Possibly a bulk deal.
