I have two leaf sticks and a handful of the buttons and switches, how much do they go for in good shape?

Umm, I think you mean the other way around. My original cabinet does not slow down during the most condensed of levels (mainly brain ones). It's dedicated hardware. On mame, at least the version I've settled for (not latest), the slowdown is atrocious. If this has changed, then great! But thank goodness I was able to get my grail-cabinet last year  ;D

But back in my day, playing Robotron in the arcades, I was able to stretch my quarter out using the above game information. But now-a-days, the only thing making me hit game over is fatigue from playing. After about 2 hours of playing on one credit, I was pretty much satisfied to let the rest of my lives die off. I really don't have the mental fortitude to do those marathon runs. But I am curious to how long I can go till I eventually pass out :lol

Well, back in my day MAME didn't exist, youngster.  ;D

Lilwolf had it right. Robotron ran too fast in old versions. It was fixed in .99

That's probably right.

Probably everyone who has tried both would notice the difference. But noticing the difference, and it makes no difference are two different things.

He's obviously good enough to outscore most everyone else either way.
