This old Ms. PAC worth $50...? Now with Picts!

There are a couple I'd do it for, but mostly because I have more parts than good cabs. It would have to be one of a specific set of games or one of the real grails.
But yeah, generally, the populated CP I would think is $20-30, the marquee 15-25, all depending on condition... it also has the bezel and coin door right in the pic too, which are each worth money.
I don't think that's a cab you drive an hour for either, though. It's just too much in gas.
knave:
I called the guy...He said that there is no monitor or board. He "thinks" the harness is intact but hasn't bothered to check and that the glass, CP, joy, buttons, coin mechs and possibly the Power supply are in there.
Looks like too much is there to pass up, But...things that look too-good-to-be-true... :-\
Google maps says it's 1 hour and 38 minutes from me. I have tenative plans to pick it up on monday. :dunno
Now my bigest problem is that my wife asked me to cool it with the cabs for a bit...I think I have to treat it as a "nesessary" part for my Galaxian cab. :o
I did the math...it will cost me ~$26 in gas and the 3-4 hours of driving.
If there's a harness in that thing wonder if it's Jamma...Why else would they paint the sides of the cab black? But since the marquee it still Ms-Pac...I dunno.
I'm still not 100% sure. But I'll sleep on it. There's no doubt it would be a cool project.
ChadTower:
Dude, 90 minutes each way... hell no, unless you're in a real cab-sparse place, or you have a total hardon for a Ms Pac, just wait for a closer one that actually has some art on it.
spacies:
I'd buy it.
Gas vs the time and money to build a cabinet.
Gas wins!
Go get it!
Kaytrim:
I agree with spacies. Go pick her up.
