Saw this beauty on Craigslist, had to share... Bet Jed is going to have to fight off people lining up for this beauty. Extra points for the poorly cut matte board monitor bezel and the lovely marquee montage:

Here's some arcade comedy:

$995 for that doesn't make you chuckle...? I find it hilarious!

Nope. That's pretty much listing price round here for that kind of set up (give or take about $200)

That's what I was thinking.  I hate the marquee, but it's functional.  Here's my 48-in-1 in progress.

There's more humorous stuff on eBay usually.

Try this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/SAGA-TORBO-FULL-SIZE-ARCADE-GAME_W0QQitemZ120324249901QQ

If you're looking for a Saga Torbo, this may be the machine for you, haha.

I've always been kinda partial to this beauty.

I would love to know how much gets for when(if) it eventually sells.

Yep, that guy was initially asking for $2,000. A buddy of mine called to verify, and the guy on the phone said it was actually $2500, lol.
