Pac Man Arcade Machine By Midway - $799 (Parker)

http://images.craigslist.org/3Mc3Lc3J75Kf5Ff5M1d4k8241f50082781a90.jpg

I am selling this Pac Man arcade machine by Midway. This is an all time classic game and they are getting harder and harder to find in this condition.

It needs a little work but I hear there is a guy here in Parker who can fix anything.

$799 FIRM or trade for a tool box or boat engine.

Wonder what the electronics would be worth (If they still work, that is.)
Maybe 100 shucks?

Wow I had a hard time even making out where the cabinet even was.
  The plywood is actually coming unlaminated.

Hey at least it's under $800

This guy isnt as bad as yours (he just doesnt want to toss umm), but I give it till the end of this rainy season...

I saw that a bit earlier and figured it was someone mocking another user's post.

Maybe this one?

The crap deals I typically see around here on Craigslist are typically headlined something like "Restored Ms. Pacman. Mint Condition" and usually priced between $1500 and $2000.

You click on the link to see a cheapie generic cab with a terrible repro ms. Pacman marquee and a 60-in-1 board

There aren't any janky cabs for sale around me but there's a lot of stuff like this.
I can't tell what's going on with the control panel because this are pictures from an old potato. But it looks like there are 13 buttons per player and 3 joysticks. ?

Believe it or not, that's how this company builds control panels. It looks like analog sticks so that you can play console games.

Is this a cab from an actual game or did someone just cut weird side panels? It would make sense if the sides went with a theme or something but with this it's just ??? weird.
It sort of looks like Galaga.

It's a super pac-man:
