machine in picture may not be exact machine sold as we have many machines on site that we pull of randomly

If your going to pick it up yourself make sure to get a good one.

Any advice your looking for in particular?

My general advice for a standup Naomi cab,
- Note, these cabs are 10+ years old. Most will be in fair to bad condition
- You should be able to get that cab that you linked to for around £100 cheaper IMO
- biggest thing to check is the monitor, ensure the picture is crisp, sharp and has good colour definition. You can put the cab into a test mode and select CRT.
- The more buttons per player the better. 6 button panels are rare in old/used Naomi cabs. I had to get a replacement control panel + wiring loom to enable 6 button games.
- Google 'Naomi net dimm' if you plan to keep the Naomi system installed. You can thank me later
- The monitor is a plug'n'play 640x480 vga monitor should you install a MAME/Emu PC
- If you think the cab looks a little big, you can always cut it down to a sit-down cab. Very common in Japan, less so everywhere else.
- Most cabs have lots of cig burn marks, expect to have to spray paint it. Its a PITA btw

Looks nice..good price with a bit of haggling methinks

It depends what monitor is in it..tri-synch or 31hz?
Also is it JVS or Jamma ready
Seems to be JVS so a few quid needed for I/O board and what not if you want Jamma and IPAC together but no major hassle I think.

I really want one of these.They look sleek.Would deffo cut legs of it to make sit down version though
There was a mamed version for sale on adverts for a while but crazy price.

Naomi standup cabs from what I've learned all come just JVS ready and only with a 31Hz monitor installed. There are a few different monitors they could be shipped with from Sega, one or two of them adaptable to a tri-sync with a new chassis board.
