Even though Mame machines can play most anything, do you have any actual arcade machines that sit along your Mame machine just for authentic value? If so what are they?

I'm wondering how cheap I could get a working one

All I have is an actual machine

Not yet, but now that I have a horizontal and vertical MAME cab, 2 or 3 originals will be next.
Probably all Williams stuff, a Defender, Robotron and Moon Patrol.

DITTO! Except I will be first looking for a 720 as my original. Being that I might spend way less money buying an original vs. trying to build something. I do not have a gameroom yet. I don't own my house but hope to buy or build one some day. My dream gameroom will be a completed *Timbercade* (my current vertical mame cab project) a 720 original that I might have to tweak the look to match my other stuff. A very custom virtual pinball machine & custom homemade jukebox. Pool, foose, poker, & ping pong tables. Hopefully all custom. Tons of my wifes arcade artwork as well as others arcade artwork as well. Maybe some authentic stuff.

That outta do it.

Oh, I used to own "Sky Soldiers"

Yep, I have quite a few actual real arcade machines other than my MAME cab. I am a pinball collector before being a vid guy.

I only have one machine and in the process of making a MAME machine.

Here is my one and only love right now. I've installed a 96 in 1 Multipac board into it which almost hooks up like a Ms. Pac Man Daughter Card which gives you 96 variations of Pac Man along w/ a few extras (Pengo, Space Invaders, Mr. TNT and EYES) so I'm almost a version of MAME in it's own way.

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...

markrvp · « **Reply #18 on:** January 24, 2007, 10:20:32 am »

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.

Nothing plays Karate Champ Vs. quite like an original Karate Champ Vs. machine, so I have one of those.

SirPoonga · « **Reply #22 on:** January 24, 2007, 02:49:40 pm »

I have an asteroids in a generic cabinet with a non-working monitor. I am trying to fix the monitor. I got it for free. It was my uncles and he didn't want to deal with getting tt fixed.

I have a double dragon II cabinet, completely working except no monitor and a cracked mounting board for the monitor. That will be easy to fix up. I also have a double dragon 1 pcb for it. I got the cabinet for free and the double dragon 1 pcb for $5. The cabinet was free because when I was looking parts for my mame cabinet I was at a vendor's warehouse. I liked the cabinet and he said it was mine if I found a way to get it out of the warehouse.

I am getting the guts of an arch rivals machine which I will also put in the double dragon II cabinet. This include a monitor for the cabinet. I am getting it for an affordable price.

The problem is we don't earn enough for the money to not matter and we earn too much to get any of the grants/bursaries and stuff from the government.

Looking forward to them both finishing Uni and becoming idependant (as if)

Join the club. In the same boat, except I'm the only income.
Rest assured though, you can always sell the TWP and pay a semester of school.

OK, my turn I'm just got rid of all the useless items, workout gym, threadmill etc, still have the wife.

I have a quad mame machine slikstik design
1. T-2 pin...
2. A popeye slot w/19" lcd this is a cool machine

& my new creation, I have wanted a racing setup for a long time I looked at building a mame cab, but there is not a lot of racing game plus setting up the controls looked to be a pain plus the room factor.
So I went with a 26" lcd with a peerless wall mount on the wall. The highest end racing setup playset.com makes $299.00 free ship. A surround sound system w/pc wireless racing nascar & xbox racing...I'm getting pics together to put on the projects section. Its a good looking setup, i think people might like this as idea for a racing setup, also I'm putting together flight controls so this could also be a flight simulator.

Aside from my Blackout MAME cab,
I have a black Knight Pin (which I brought back from the dead)
Ms. PacMan (conversion)(Which I sold, but my friend still needs to come get it.)
Centipede (which my wife claims as hers)
Millipede

Oh yeah and my Simpson's playset (Which has Larry the Looter, Slugfest, and my favorite...Nuke Canada)

Then I have a Virtua fighter which I will be selling soon (no monitor)
NeoGeo 1 slot same story
and a Lock and Chase which I will give away.

Games I have had and sold...
Defender (my first game bought working outright)
Thunderblade

One day I will have a Black Hole Pin and a Gravitar upright.
