Anybody know about these games?...and what should I do with them?
bfauska:
I have a possible source for two really large games and since I don't know where I would put them or what I could accomplish with them I am unsure about getting them.
One is a 6 player X-Men cabinet. Yes 6. It has two monitors and they (at the least) have board damage, so the owner is unsure of it operating condition. I suppose worse case sceneio is that I get it off of the island it's on and closer to civilization so sombody else can save it, or I scavange the useable parts and ditch the rest.
The other is an Atari T-Mek the only functional issue with it is the connection to the controlers. It should just take a wireing job and it would be running. The owner describes some damage to the artwork and wood, but it doesn't sound major. Again I could get it closer to a new home or use some parts.
If there was a financial gain to be had by repairing these machines (the initial investment is only a ferry ride and use of a large truck) I may consider using them as a stepping stone to a more apropiate cabinet.
The OTHER option is if any of the local Seattle folks want to get in on this with me maybe we could go pick them up as a team and share the adventure of fixing/parting/restoring/selling/whatevering them.
Input?
Thanks,
Brian

The X Men 6 player has always been one of dream machines. I love it. Too bad Seattle is like 1500 miles. You will already be on the road, right? I can give good directions to Arkansas...

I figure that it is a rare enough machine that there should be people interested in it (either after or before I fix the monitors) so getting it off the island seems like a good start.

I would absolutely love to have both machines. Man, so many good times on X-Men.
