I know that RBmotoring (generally famous for importing and legalizing Nissan Skylines, among other JDM cars) were selling a ton of them on eBay for awhile. www.rbmotoring.com If they sold out of them, they likely know where to get more.
Becareful of them. They are arcadeinfinity. Jeff has a very bad record of dealing with people online over the past year. If you can get someone to go down and check out the cab for you then they are fine to deal with. My capcom impress came from them (I picked it up localy over 4 years ago). coinopexpress is great but a bit pricy since the cabinets will have to come from HK/JPN. Other then that, they are very professional to deal with.
Japan! Do you mean a candy cab? Yeah, you'll find them for sale on the forums at www.neo-geo.com quite a lot.
Yeah, you can get an Astro City on YJ used for 20,000 yen or so. It's sick. It would cost well over a grand to ship it to NY though. You should go post over at shmups... there are a few people there with either Astro City or Taito Egrets, and I'm sure they'd be able to tell you where to fidn one. One guy was even selling one in Cali (pretty cheap too).
from time to time ebay has sellers that have japanese arcade cabnites, some of them are even already converted to be able to use quarters with, however it means making a trip to where the seller lives, which can be quite a distance depending on what part of the U.S. the seller lives.
LOL@the arcadeinfinity forums! People are just shit talking them left and right, on their own forums, and it's like they're not even reading it. Are they even still in business? After reading some of that stuff, ASSEMbler, PLEASE do not buy from those people, I retract my recommendation.
You're not supposed to sell an arcade machine on eBay with the coin mech still in It has to at least be disabled. eBay rules.
Why? I guess the flipside to that is you're not supposed to take peoples money and run, but they do it all the time, don't they?
