Just curious, i'd love to get some more arcade games, but the shipping is so rediculous....plus, i want to visually look at the games before i buy them.
Also, i'd like to get into fixing up games/building cabinets, if anyone lives in this area, maybe we could discuss these things.

I'm in Lincoln.
-
I live there. Don't have any arcade games to sell though.
-
I'm in Kansas City...about 3 hours from you
-
Either of you guys know anything about fixing arcade games??? There's only one place that i know of in Omaha that fixes them and they charge a fortune.
Kansas City would probably be too far, but Lincoln wouldn't be too bad. Or anyone selling any games?

I don't live anywhere near Nebraska. ;)

I'm in KC now, but was in Omaha for 8 years. Have you been to NTS on 74ish and F? They have a whole back room full of cabinets that they'll sell if you ask. They do charge a ton for repairs though, so you may already know of them :)

No, i'm not familiar with that place, i'll have to check it out....i just got my game repaired at Greater American Distributing near 60th and Grover. They were real good and reasonably priced. That's where everyone i talked to recommended,..but they weren't selling any games.
What's this NTS place like?? Do you just go in and ask to look at games? Are they priced resonably?..Do you ever get back to the Omaha area?

NTS stands for ...... ???

Nebraska Technical Services I think...
They are behind a bar, but there is a big sign. They're right across F street from the city impound lot. You do, in fact, just walk in and buy stuff. They have a show room with about 35 market-priced upright games, pinballs, bar-tops, juke boxes, and dart boards. They are a route entertainment machine company.
They are also a great place to find juke box-used CDs and dart equipment.
I do occasionally return to Omaha. I still have a bunch of friends and family there.

Most game problems can usually be rather quickly diagnosed as power supply, PCB, or monitor. ANYONE can replace a switching power supply, if the problem is a linear power supply, PCB, or monitor then you can send out the ps, PCB, or monitor chassis for repair cheaper than having most local techs fix it.

Hey, thanks for the heads up...i checked out that NTS place yesterday....it's pretty cool. Lots of games and game supplies. Unfortunately, the guy who handles the pricing of the stuff was out of town until Monday, so i'm going back then.
The only thing of interest to me that they had was an Original PacMan cabinet, but it had a Mrs PacMan Marquee and the Mrs Pacman game in it...not sure what they wanted for it, but the tech guessed between 800.00 to 1000.00. Seems a little high to me for a cabinet with the wrong game but maybe i can talk them down. They had some other cool games too like a cocktail galaga and MKII, Pole Position and Pole Position II, and a bunch of others, but the pacman was the only one i was considering getting....we'll see.
Hey, do you know alot about arcade game repairs?? Do you think the next time you come to Omaha, you could install a high score save kit in my SuperPacMan game??

I live in Omaha. I'm about 90% done with my mame cabinet.

I live in Omaha aswell (well not really in omaha but about 20 miles away from it) :D

Hi I’m currently in the Omaha area and looking to get rid of some arcade games fairly low priced since we want them to go to someone who loves em and not the potential new buyers of our home we are selling since we’d prefer people to use them than throw them away.
