Need to tap into the wisdom here..

I have stumbled upon what I think is a great deal but would like to get some advice before I go through with it. I have the chance to buy  both a burger time and a space invaders for less than $200. But being completely new to all this I am not sure I could fix what is wrong with both games. according to the owner the burger time  the joystick just stops working  it will work some time and other times it will not. The problem with space invaders is that the monitor does not come on, you can hear the game sounds.

I know its hard to tell with out really looking at the games closely but in your experiences are these easy fixes for some one new. or should I pass on the deal..

Any advice is welcome.

Thanks

The joystick problem is probably as simple as replacing the microswitch. Not a difficult fix-it regardless of your experience. Subject to the condition, price to me on the BT seems very incredibly fair.

I'd buy them without a second thought.  The fix for the BT should be easy, the SI may take a little work but would be worth it.

Great price IMO.  You should bet the BT working for under $20 (or free).

You're nuts if you don't pull the trigger on that deal.

Go for it. You could always turn around and sell the SI to recoup a portion of your investment.

Are the cabinets intact? Artwork still there? Burgertime's don't seem too common, especially not with the side-art intact.
