Oh yeah....this thing....
A lot cheaper than it was....and still too much for what you get.

I wonder what kind of monitor is in that thing.  "19 high resolution monitor" 
There are also a good amount of spinner/trackball games and no spinner/trackball.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Tempest with anything other than a spinner is useless to me.

Are these true emulated games or remakes? If this is the Clay Cowgill kit then those are probably real ROMs which means you're getting 50 games for $600 == $12/game. Drop the hardware and just sell the ROMs for $5/game you'll probably make more money than these are making now.

A local Sears has one of these in-store. It's a non-functional display model with a CP but no screen. I think the fact that demo unit is unplayable likely speaks to the overall quality of the product. The sticks and buttons feel very cheap.

'Big Lots,' a close-out store chain, had a very similar and functional cabinet in it's stores about a a year ago. The monitor in the Big Lots cabinet was a cheap 19" TV that produced a horrible picture.

I'd stay pretty far away from these things, especially considering you can't even demo the sears unit in-store.
