Hello All! I'm a newbie to the arcade building/collection but long time player! I've come across Technos wwf Superstars arcade for sale. I'm told it is in working order except the coin opp. The marquee says wwe superstars but the bezel is from a double dragon machine. This would be my first time buying a machine and it would be for my own use in my man cave for many many years to come. My questions are... How much is this thing worth? Should I get it restored to double dragon or wwf superstars. I'm new to all this so any other information would be greatly appreciated! I've attached a picture. Please help! Thank you in advance! |

Judging by the cabinet shape, it probably started life as Elevator Action... or some other Taito game of that era. Take a look at the attached graphic or do a search on Taito cabinets. As far as what its worth...in parts alone... let's put it like this... to scratch build a cabinet, new parts would run you about $400-700. Wood, monitor, coin door, power supply, wiring, etc. Its also basically impossible to buy a new CRT these days. If it were me,.I'd sell the WWE and double dragon stuff and restore it to any of the very cool old-school Taito machines... or I'd pass on it and scratch build something that I really want instead. |

I love the old Taito's. Never worked on one but they look great IMO |

Their power supply looks like a bomb from an 80s movie. |
