I just wanted to ask: How common is it to find a 6-game Neo-Geo MVS machine? This is the first time I've ever seen one, at a local laundromat here in Boulder, Colorado: it's loaded with Aero Fighters 2, Puzzle Bobble, Neo Drift Out, World Heroes 2 Jet, Metal Slug X, and Samurai Showdown 4. It seems to be kept in good condition, too.

They used to be everywhere. Nowadays you'll be lucky to find even a 4-game cab.

One arcade here has 4 of them (even though they have only 4 title marquee picture slots). You can really tell they're old because they're in diplorable condition and are rather dirty.

There's also one 2 slot at Scandia here.

My local bowling alley has two 4 slot MVS machines, but I've never seen a 6 slotter.

Be kind to goblins.

Well shoot -- it seems Boulder is a bit Neo-Geo friendly. Along with the six-slot machine at the laundromat, you can find a 2-slot machine in the local college arcade (Bust-A-Move, Metal Slug 3), and the Boulder Boardwalk arcade that I frequent (and has SC2 and Sonic Championship) has a 4-slot machine (Metal Slug 2, Metal Slug 4, Bust-A-Move 2, and Samurai Shodown 4). That, and the local specialist game store has a few MVS and AES titles.

Six-slots are the rarest MVS type, with four-slots being the most common.

Actually, there are several types of one slot and two slot boards; one of those kinds is probably rarest, but play-wise, they're no different.

I really like the MVS machines that have those extra slots underneath the controllers for headphones and memory cards. Though I don't have a Neo Geo memory card, I really appreciate the fact that sound can be channeled through a second source, like my earphones that are geared for bass -- as I really enjoy the sound on a lot of the games. Definitely helps out for when Blazing Star was around -- I really enjoyed the music for it. (And Metal Slug X and 3, etc.)
