This was my first arcade and I purchased it off eBay back in July of 2004.

The guy I purchased it from had it setup in his basement and it showed.

 

Despite not being cleaned in ages, the cabinet was in pretty good shape. It had approx 95% of the sideart and no dings.

Some Grease Lightening and 409 and the cab looks like new.

Above: Old CPO with burn marks.

Right: New CPO with new buttons and laserjet printed instruction card

 

The only really issue that I had was the CPO has some cigarette burns and the buttons weren't the same color as they originally were..

A used one was purchased from http://www.quarterarcade.com and the yellow and blue buttons were won on eBay

 

 

 

I also ordered the High-Score Save Kit from www.mikesarcade.com. because I was tired of getting sick scores and the losing them when I powered the arcade off.

 

Only other things that might get swapped out if I get a good price and I become nitpickey would be the marquee and bezel as they have several small white spots (paint???) on them.

 

I hated to let this one go...

Sold NOV06 to make room for Ms Pac-Man.
