To buy or not to buy?

Stingray:
My mistake. As you were. ;D

Due to this new development in payment. ;)

Since he is unwilling to test the monitor, I think 20 dvd-r's would be more than adequate for payment. He isn't gonna sell a dead arcade cabinet to anyone other than someone in the BYOAC field. Make this known to thie fellow and see if he bites. If he doesn't bite, then it is still a pretty good deal for the cabinet and a possibly working pcb. You could sell off all the extras in the cab and end up with a pretty much free mame cabinet.

AlanS17:
I have a Final Fight. In fact, I have a couple of them. There's nothing unusual about them. It's a JAMMA game. It's as standard as they come. I can't possibly imagine why there would be something funky with that monitor.

Maybe the plug for the video inputs is different... boohoo. Five or ten minutes worth of work putting a new plug on it will tell you if the thing works or not with a different machine. If it's intact, why can't he fire it up to test it out?

I just don't like the "untested" excuse unless there really is no way to test it. I have some "untested" stuff, but at least I really have no way to test it.

FrizzleFried:
My understanding (and from the look of the photo) is that it is at the back of his storage unit...he said it was difficult to get the photos he did.   I countered with a 10 DVD-R + $35 offer...i figure it will take me about 20 minutes to "prepare" the DVD-R's each,  10 is 200 minutes of my time...a little over 3 hours...my time is well worth $20 an hour...we are looking at about $70 of my time and $35 in cash...

Plus evidently he has a "larger" CP he is throwing in...I think it's like one I saw online with a slightly triangular shape to it...

I dunno...like i said...even if the monitor is garbage,  I think it's worth it just for the cabinet.

The monitor/PCH/anything else would be a bonus...it looks like there are a couple of good joysticks / buttons as well.

shardian:
so he is including a cut corner SFII control panel then huh? That would be nice.

Also, if your time is well worth $20 an hour, then you shouldn't be sweating $35.  ;) ;D
