You lucky dog. Wish my wife would be more open to this hobby. She thinks this is all a waist of time and money. :hissy: Two other things to keep in mind are the condition of the monitor and the boards. You say that you want to get it up and running first. Those are the two biggest defining items as to the condition of the machine. I'd start looking on Craig's list and eBay in your local area. Don't forget to check the local newspapers for auctions either. I'd take some time cruising the boards here for other sources and ideas as well. Good luck and keep us posted on your successes. :cheers: Kaytrim |

Maybe I should stop asking about pricing and just do it. I don't want to scare myself away before I even get started. Guess it's time to start checking Craigslist each day until I can hunt one down. I do know where a broken cab with beatiful side art is just sitting in an older arcade. Maybe I can send my wife in, batting her eyelashes, to ask nicely how much they'd take to part with it. |

Oh, he also has a Defender running on Free Play. It almost never gets played, and he's not making money off of it, maybe that's an easier target for the time being. |

A few hundred is probably a good ballpark, though shipping is the big killer here, especially if you have to source parts from different locations or "spread it out" over time. |
