Do you have any actual arcade machines along your MAME machine?

Pretty darn cheap if you keep your eyes peeled. However, the cheap working ones are usually a generic, black cabinet with some run of the mill JAMMA game in it. I got two for $50 each, and I'm watching a generic cab 2p version of wrestlefest on ebay right now. Generic cabs I guess would range from $50-$200. Anything higher and the seller is overprices IMO

As to original classic machines or nicer/newer machines in working order, they run you more. It will vary from game to game, and you would have to put feelers out to the pro's to get a gauge on price.
Only example of a good deal I've seen within a 3 hour drive to me was a good condition Robotron for $270 off of ebay. I guess the location of the guy kept the price down.
I would give you a range for working condition nice or classic games as $200-$600 IMO.

These guys are spot on. I have an original Xevious and my Defender, Hypersports, and Berzerk cabinets all run on MAME. I like having the original cabinets for asthetic value as well as original control layouts (especially for Defender). I also have a MAME cabinet of course. Looks like you've got a fever...

I've got a Donkey Kong upright, Pacman cocktail, Golden Tee Fore Complete that are all in original or replica cabinets with the original PCBs.  I have a Radiant Silvergun conversion cabinet and an XBOX sit down racing cabinet (converted from a Pole Position 2) and a Dreamcast inside a Dynamo cabinet.  I also have a Warlords cocktail that I will eventually restore.
