Title: What would you pay for a good working set of Robotron boards?

I'm thinking no more than 125 bucks... Am I way off?

Rare and popular game?  You might find a set for that, but I could see them going for a LOT more.  A lot of people are really passionate about robotron.

I would pay more towards 200. I am still looking for an original cabinet.

But to me it's a nostalgia thing. I spent hours amongst hours playing the game when I was a teenager.

Only other cabinet on my list is a 4 person cyberball

I'm in the same boat... I have a MAME(tm) cabinet... I like it and all... but I'm starting down the path of acquiring and or restoring the games that I loved as a kid... The MAME(tm) thing didn't really deliver for me as I had hoped... not that it isn't still totally freakn' awesome... its just different.

If you want a set with Blue Roms, they go for $150 on ebay all day and night. If you can find someone that has them cheaper  I would like to know because I need a set too.

I'd sell you my cabinet if you were closer. I have too many projects right now
