Even the so-called original buttons appear to be "sanwa" style buttons.
OH THE HUMANITY!

But will it sell at his asking price? That would be a tragedy in itself.

11 month warranty on monitor, 1 year guarantee on controls, lifetime tech support.

Why the month difference in warranty in the monitor and the controls. 

Don't forget the LIFETIME tech support!

No it won't sell. At any given time there are hundreds of Mames and multicades and such on ebay, generally the ones listed that high just don't sell.

Have to wonder if they did some kind of vector to raster conversion somehow, or possibly they are running MAME in it.

It's quite obviously running emulators (refer to photos showing the Simpsons, Tapper, etc running)
