How much is a non-working Pacman cabinet worth?
2600:
Seems like a good deal. I'd probably buy both PCB boards off you for a chunk of what you are paying even if they aren't working. Aren't working would probably be prefered to some degree. I just like to work on things, but for some reason I think there are people who pay even more then what I'd pay for non-working boards.
Let me know if you get them and want to sell the PCB's.
Quarterhorse:
I would be surprising my wife by bringing home 2 cabinets if I were in your shoes.
And spending this weekend at a motel and next week in counseling.
Worth it in the end. Get the cabs.

Dang, I wish I could find someone who is basically giving away arcade games... ::)
How well do you know the guy? If this is just a business venture for him, and he says 75 each, then offer him $100 total and see what he says. The worst he can say is no, and you still get them for $150. Odds are, he just wants to ditch them at that price.
Haggling, it's a wonderful thing.

Just wondering if that was a good deal or not.

If you can, get them both. If the Centipede artwork is under the black paint, a little elbow grease will get it back. Check out this recovery that I did - http://www.jhanson.com/arcade/centipede

That's a good deal on both. I agree with previous poster - that Centipede artwork is probably still under there and recoverable if you have the patience.
You can get the Pacman board repaired for under $100 and a working Pacman cabinet with monitor is well worth $175.
