Also have the TV with game systems in my previous picture in this room. Also a jukebox, 3 old gumball machines, and old 5 cent grip tester. to the left of this room is my main gameroom (suppose to be another living room) with other systems, pinball machines, arcade machines, old Coke machine, fooseball, and darts.

[I brought my first baby home yesterday! PIX]

Someone probably changed the ROMS to Pacman+. No you can't just plug other boards into the machine. The harness is different. Among other things the connectors for controls, and PS voltages will be different. You can plug a Ms Pacman boardset into a Pacman cabinet as well as Galaxian (but some of the controls won't work). The monitor connection is usually the same on most boards although sometimes you have to swap a couple wires around. There are ROM sets available that will allow you to swap yours and play various versions of Pacman. Do a search on the Web. I downloaded my Pacman manual free years ago from a site.

[C'mon Brag a bit! Whaddya got??]

Maming a Tempest cab is a true maming. Thats gotta be one of the

most valuable and desired games out there. If it was me I would work

hard to fully restore the unit and then sell it on ebay for big bucks. Then

spend a fraction of that setting up a mame cabinet.

 

jim - 200 games!!! How did you ever get that many? And where did you

store them

 

 

I bought several warehouse deals over the years. Got 100 machines in one deal, picked up another 20 or 30 here and there several times. The good thing about bulk buys is the price. I got about 98% of the machines in the 20-40 dollar each range. The most i ever paid for any machine is $130.00 each for a working Frogger Phoenix, and Star Castle. I store them in the house, in my shop, and in my barn. It helps to have a 22 room 4000sf house, 2200sf shop and 2800sf barn.

[I get sound, but no picture...]

Check the fuse on the monitor chassis, check for loose connections. See if the monitor is getting 120 VAC. If it's getting voltage try a cap kit.

I have run across your website before, very impressive collection. I would love to hear how you got that Six Flags sign!

 

As a kid, I went to Dallas every year in the summer, and I remember the Six Flags arcade very vividly. They had a Speed Freak by Vectorbeam that I would love to own.

I got the Six Flags sign from a guy about a 1/4 mile from my house. He buys storage building contents at auction. I guess it was in one he bought. I have been buying "junk" from him for years. I think I paid around $10.00 for the sign. I get game stuff, old electronics, and other stuff from him every few weeks.

[C'mon Brag a bit! Whaddya got??]

I am "down" to around 50 machines now. I had about 200 a while back.

 

A few in my gameroom are:

 

Galaga

Frogger

Defender

Sea Wolf

Pole Position

Centipede

Moon Patrol

Ms Pacman

Zaxxon

Space Invaders

Asteroids

Assorted Pinball machines

Bonanza EM gun game

Jukebox

Old 5 cent grip tester

[The Official "Thrift finds" Thread]

Got a nice lighted Sega sign today. Also a stack of 8-Tracks, a couple joysticks, and a Genesis game. All for a grand total of $20.00.

 

Found a "new" junk shop today. They had around 100 Atari games, 80 or so NES, 20-30 SNES, some assorted Genesis, and others. Plus some assorted systems. I tried to say I would buy everything they had game related if they would give me a price. They wanted $45.00 each for 2600 games, and $10-15.00 each for NES. That's just single games mind you, not systems or anything. They said Atari games go for $200.00 on eBay. I just shook my head and laughed all the way out the door.

[Good source for a coin door for an arcade cab??]

Post a wanted message on the arcade newsgroups.
