A Monaco SitDown is on ebay once every couple of months.

If it were for sale, I would get it since this is one of my favorites and it is not included in Mame, however, I simply saw the machine at the person's place. 

I think I will be going back over to his shop in a couple of weeks and will ge to play it for free  :>)

Something to keep in mind about them is that there is no CPU, or TRUE ROM chips, on them.
The entire game is contained on a series of logic boards.
From what I've heard, the wiring connecting it all looks like a huge rat's nest.

The ramification of that is that, if something goes wrong with it, troubleshooting can be a really BIG pain.

On the other hand, it has yet to be FULLY emulated, IIRC; and will probably NEVER be re-released in MAME, so this may be your only chance to get that particular game.

I like my standup.


And the kids still love to play it, even with the primitive graphics.

How rare/collectible is Monaco GP?

I have a mini that needs some work.  worth the trouble?
