Seen this on Twin galaxies, don't know if it was mentioned here at BYOAC yet...

Trying to make room in my shop/storage unit! Need to sell this weekend, the following coin operated games:

Defender missing monitor otherwise complete
Defender complete
Missile Command UR complete
Missile Command CT missing monitor
Dig Dug complete
Tron complete
Asteroids Deluxe - Painted Blk - complete
Capcom Bowling - complete Dynamo cab (good for multicade project)
Street Fighter Alpha - Dynamo cab missing monitor (good for multicade)
Sunset Riders conversion no control panel
Neo Geo one slot - no cartridge installed in Williams cab
Virtua Cop 2 dedicated complete 25"
Seicross complete
Viper, with rotating/pivoting montor/controls complete
World Ralley complete
Krazy Kong complete
Unknown game - no monitor
Blue Midway cab conversion complete no/control panel
Mr Do missing monitor
Mr Do complete
1943 missing monitor
Mechanized Attack dedicated no game pcb

Note: If you don't see the marquee in the picture, it's probably in the back of the game. I may have a few extra 19" monitors to throw in if you buy it all.

$1,500 buys it all!

Pick any 5 for 1,000.

Cheap delivery available - to be discussed.

If you are serious and have cash, please call Chris at .

Right now, not a whole lot more.  The market is dead, Jim.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

I really wish people in this area didn't think their cabs were worth thousands for a single cabinet...  It seems that cabinet prices are greatly inflated in the DFW area.

This would be a great buy and could provide years of restoration fun, but I just don't have the money nor the room for them all. :(  I'd see about taking the Virtua Cop cabinet as a single, but he's probably asking an arm/leg for it.

Considering he is offering 5 for $1000, I'll bet he'll consider other offers too. Like 2 for $500 or something. Worth a shot for the Tron too.

Only one I'd want is the Tron. But it would be worth it for 1500. The resale of the rest would make up the cost. I don't live there, though. And I don't have the room to house them in the mean time.

Edit - oh, wait, and the Asteroids Deluxe. That costs more than half the whole lot.

This deal is in Texas where there is no shortage of project games and it isn't going to change any time soon.
