I can pick up a taito championship wresling (1989) for $500. Assuming the screen looks good (planning on a custom cp and mame conversion), does this sound like a good deal to you guys? |

If that is the case, the cabinet is whatever under performing game was on his route. Or it could be a dynamo cabinet. *shrug* http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=7309 OTOH hand, it is hard to gauge if this is a good deal in *YOUR* area without knowing where you are. You should post a pic and your zip code so that folks that are local to you can comment. Its impractical to give an estimate on a cabinet without a picture. There is about 1 cabinet a quarter in my Quad-County area. YMMV OOTOH Don't maim for MAME, build from scratch. I can't find the link now, but somewhere, probably on the WIKI or in one of the project threads, there is a description on the average bill of materials. Depending on the condition the used cabinet is in, your project could be akin to domesticating a feral cat. Are you going to keep the tube and jamma harness? Unless you are sentimentally attached to Taito Championship Wrestling, pass, or build your own. |
