Author Topic: Original arcade marquees for sale (Read 7510 times)

seanp · « **on:** December 09, 2004, 04:15:15 pm »

I got lucky and ran across a lot of 40 marquees and grabbed them up. Since my wife isn't keen on me building forty machines, I'm going to sell most of them off. I wanted to give people here first crack at 'em since this forum has been so useful to me... I'll get some pictures up soon, but if there's a specific one you're interested in let me know and I'll get photo for you quickly.

I'm willing to work out trades too - there's plenty of stuff I still need. T-molding, sideart, spinner, trackball, and more...

Got a picture of the alpha2 marquee ? If perfect condition then I think I will go for it

quarterback · « **Reply #7 on:** December 09, 2004, 07:20:33 pm »

I'd like to place dibs on the good Time Pilot and/or Exerion. What are the dimensions on these?
Thanks

SOAPboy · « **Reply #8 on:** December 09, 2004, 08:30:08 pm »

Street Fighter Alpha 2

Consider it gone.. i dont care the condition..

tho, id like dibs on the mortal kombat one if the SFA one is gone

Silver · « **Reply #9 on:** December 10, 2004, 09:56:37 am »

Would you consider international shipping? (UK)?

Stingray · « **Reply #10 on:** December 10, 2004, 09:56:58 am »

I want dibs on the Choplifter. Sending PM.

-S

seanp · « **Reply #11 on:** December 10, 2004, 10:21:10 am »

OK, I uploaded the photos to a snapfish album:
http://tinyurl.com/3r9u9
Also, I looked into UPS shipping, and I think shipping for up to four or five marquees will be just over $5, so I'll cover anything over that for continental US. Just add $5 to the price of however many marquees you're interested in.

I'll send PM's to the folks who have responded so far, and try to keep an updated list going.

Here's some other marquees that I have:
Punch Out
Hat Trick (thinner plastic)
Tag Team
Killer Instinct (thinner plastic)
Gladiator (thinner plastic)
Ikari Warriors
Terra Presta
Caliber 50
Quarterback
Airwolf
Moon Patrol (sadly a victim of spray paint overspray - I don't know if it can be cleaned or not)

I've placed the marquees next to a yardstick for comparison. I can get specific measurements if people need them...

-Sean

Stingray · « **Reply #12 on:** December 10, 2004, 10:37:39 am »

Oh, I want the Airwolf as well.

Edit: paypal payment for the two marquees sent. Thanks.

quarterback · « **Reply #13 on:** December 10, 2004, 12:19:04 pm »

Dude, I definitely want the Donkey Kong as well.

You Got PMail

DarkKobold · « **Reply #14 on:** December 10, 2004, 02:37:59 pm »

What is your paypal addy, I'll take the three I reserved.

SaiNRuB · « **Reply #15 on:** December 10, 2004, 03:12:10 pm »

Is that Donkey Kong marquee for sale? I am needing one for my DK restoration, ill take it if quarterback doesnt.

Please let me know, thanks

seanp · « **Reply #16 on:** December 10, 2004, 03:20:51 pm »

Yeah, the Donkey Kong is already taken. Sorry...

I think I've PM'ed everybody who is interested so far. If I haven't answered your question or responded let me know. I've updated the list on the top of the page with the current status.

-Sean

Rocky · « **Reply #17 on:** December 11, 2004, 02:20:04 pm »

I'm looking for a Buck Rogers marquee for my sit down game. I can't tell

seanp · « **Reply #18 on:** December 15, 2004, 12:25:51 am »

The Buck Rogers measures 24 x 8.25

First round of shipping will go out tomorrow morning- I've got them all packaged up and ready to go. I was slightly delayed by my first fatherly duty of getting stitches for one of my boys... Nothing too bad, but definitely time consuming!

Here's the updated list. Let me know if you want to be notified if something on the pending list comes available. Some folks are looking at several, but narrowing it down to just a few when they order:

Here's what I've got: * indicates pending sale

On the Commando Marquee with the brown paper, if you take a hair dryer to it, it will come right off. I had to peel a corner up on my Magic Sword marquee so I could get a grip, then heat the rest.

Go slow and it should all come off in one piece!

Lucky S.O.B. · « **Reply #20 on:** December 16, 2004, 01:55:12 pm »

Sent PM for the Killer Instinct...

Raleigh · « **Reply #21 on:** December 20, 2004, 05:26:54 pm »
