MS Pacman cocktail in very good condition...
Sinner:
Thanks for the info guys..I went and took a look at the unit tonight...the cab itself is in great shape, but the monitor is pooched...he said it went all weird looking and he would shut it off, then after a while turn it back on, and it would work...then one day it went all weird again and went out...doesn't come on at all anymore...possibly something as simple as a cap kit?...
Anyway, when you hit the buttons and move the joysticks, the thing does make game sounds (with the exception of down on the joysticks, then it makes a rumbling noise)...I'm hoping it's in some sort of test mode...
I would have to fix the monitor, maybe something on the board...the glass has some scratches, but I'm hoping they will buff out...the coin door needs some work...new mechs and one of the metal covers for the coin slot...
The guy told me to make him an offer, but I have no idea what to say...is $175 too little? I dunno if I can afford much more than $200 right now, with Christmas coming and all...what do you think?
What's your opinion?
markrvp:
I just paid $150 for a GORF cocktail machine with a broken monitor. A new monitor would be at least $150 and board repair could be $89 or so. Add all that up and you've got $400 to get it up and running. I recently saw a want ad in the Dallas paper for a Ms Pacman Cocktail for $400, so that may be the value of a working Ms Pac cocktail.
CheffoJeffo:
I think C$175 is reasonable ... whether he'll accept or not is another thing ... for some reason, lots of folks here in SW Ontario think that Midway-style cocktails are made of gold (hence the buybacks at SB auctions).
Good Luck!
Cheers.
Lilwolf:
Really depends on how good a friend is.
for 175 its a great deal. 250 its a deal... for over 300 you could find better if you looked for a long while and where patient. For over 500 and your getting prices from about 8 years ago.
Too easy to build a new one. Most people who HAD to get one already did. And they made a ton of them...
It will never be a collecters item since of the quantities they where made.... So their heightened value was purely on the people wanting them.... but that has faded on in the last few years.
ahh... the days of 1k mspacmans... I remember those days...
