Killer Instinct worth fixing? Mame? Price Check
« on: December 20, 2004, 02:44:15 am »
I picked up one at the last arcade auction. It doesn't have a power supply so I don't know if it works or not. Do to space limitations I need to get choose one of the three cabs I got to go. :'(  I really would like to have a cabinet with a 25" monitor (other two are 19"). The artwork is in OK shape. If I cant get it to work would it be a sin to Mame it? If I sell it whats the going price for a decent KI (assume I get it to work)?

Is it just me or are the prices of arcade games falling across the board? I don't know if there were too many games or if it was too close to Christmas but all the games seemed to sell for less then I have seen in the past.
Experience is directly proportional to equipment ruined

If its a dedicated machine and not a conversion... Don't MAME it. There was only a limited number of those made. If you get it working you can sell it for 500+ on ebay. If its fully restored probably 800-1000.

If you want you can give me the marquee for mine... ;D

I should have traded you my X-men vs SF for it.   ;D  ( Then again I don't think your wife would have been able to sleep with that yellow beast in the house).
