Just impulse bought an original Beatmania machine...

[HIT THE KEY]

For $900NZ ($684USD)... Was that a good idea? Link is here Beatmania 29" DJ Arcade Machine for sale - TradeMe.co.nz - New Zealand

Seems reasonably priced albeit a 5th Mix. Upgrade to 6th or THE FINAL and you're set

[Akkaraju]

5th mix was just great for its time, but i agree it would be worth getting 6th or THE FINAL as an upgrade if you're willing to track it down.

[HIT THE KEY]

Awesome, yeah I'll try and track those down. The problem with the stiff T/T should be pretty easy to fix right?

[my58vw]

Slipmat problem usually, or something simple like screw pressure.

I would say go not 6th mix but 7th mix, which has all 6th and 7th mix songs. The final would be great also!

[EMAGDNIM]

WOW! That a real impulse buy...Like the others said try and get a hold of the newer mixes...

[AceJay]

Oh hahaha, Beat stage. Nice job.

[Opethian]

id rather have Core Remix over 6th

yea 6th AC is real slim songwise

7th or Final for the best possible user interface

[thecatz]

If only they can sold those kinds of cab in Europe at that price ...

[cupcake]

Good deal if it's in good condition. I'm glad you have room for such a beast.

[Kσn]

pretty good deal. especially where you are located I'm sure.

[thecatz]

Can you show us more pictures of it ?

[Deca]

go 7th mix :O FREE KICKER

Hey cool man, I think I used to frequent the arcade that thing was located at before it closed. But since then there have been absolutely NO Beatmania machines in Wellington at all, IIDX or otherwise. ;_;

I've been trying to convince one a manager to try out a IIDX machine for a bit, but we both know the fanbase just isn't here for it.
