Cabinet Details
Control panel is a 1L4B Blast City panel. We can include a brand-new reproduction Blast 2L12B from Alberto (unpopulated) for an extra $140.
This cabinet has the Nanao MS-2933 monitor. The image is overall good; I would say above average for a Blast City in 2025. The tube has a small amount of burn; we would rate it at burn level 2 on our scale.
The overall cabinet quality is quite good. It doesn't have any major structural issues and is very clean; refer to pictures for more details.
The speakers do not suffer from the usual Blast City speaker rot and sound good.
The cabinet in the photos is the specific one for this listing.
About This Model
After the New Astro City, Sega went on to make the Blast City: it's a lot like the Astro, but taller and more imposing, equipped with an audio amp, a tri-sync monitor, and beefier speakers beside the monitor instead of on top. Blasts can be fiddly after almost three decades of wear & tear, but there's plenty to love about them, too.
