Hey guys,
My wife and I recently purchased our first home, and with that my wife has agreed that I can purchase a few more arcades. I found and actually went out and spoke to someone from a classifieds add that has San Fransisco Rush 2049 and a Silent Scope 2 - Dark Silhouette that I am interested in. I went out yesterday and looked at both, the guy wants 1700$ for the Rush and 1245$ for the silent scope. I was able to talk him down to 2500 for both but in stead of a mint 2049 he said he would give me another one. the one that he would sell to me is fully functional, exterior looks great but the Monitor is not as bright and there are very light and thin horizontal lines that go across the screen. He said that he has a few cap kits (the guy has 6 of these arcades in his basement) that he will throw in free of charge. The Silent scope works great it is just missing the coin mech parts.
Before I make the purchase I was hoping to get some feedback on the monitor issue. Do you think a re-cap would be a good fix for the above issue?
Do you think 2500$ is a good range for the 2?
Thanks for any input guys.
