Trying to make room in my shop/storage unit! Need to sell this weekend, the following coin operated games:

Defender missing monitor otherwise complete

Missile Command UR complete
Missile Command CT missing monitor
Dig Dug complete

Asteroids Deluxe - Painted Blk - complete
Capcom Bowling - complete Dynamo cab (good for multicade project)
Street Fighter Alpha - Dynamo cab missing monitor (good for multicade)
Sunset Riders conversion no control panel

Note: If you don't see the marquee in the picture, it's probably in the back of the game. I may have a few extra 19" monitors to throw in if you buy it all.

$1,500 buys it all!

Pick any 5 for 1,000.

Cheap delivery available - to be discussed.

If you are serious and have cash, please call Chris at .

Right now, not a whole lot more.  The market is dead, Jim.

I really wish people in this area didn't think their cabs were worth thousands for a single cabinet...  It seems that cabinet prices are greatly inflated in the DFW area.

This would be a great buy and could provide years of restoration fun, but I just don't have the money nor the room for them all. :(  I'd see about taking the Virtua Cop cabinet as a single, but he's probably asking an arm/leg for it.

Considering he is offering 5 for $1000, I'll bet he'll consider other offers too. Like 2 for $500 or something. Worth a shot for the Tron too.

Only one I'd want is the Tron. But it would be worth it for 1500. The resale of the rest would make up the cost. I don't live there, though. And I don't have the room to house them in the mean time.

Edit - oh, wait, and the Asteroids Deluxe. That costs more than half the whole lot.
