Devbinks Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Today I purchased two arcade machines for my family's game room. Tekken 4 and a Ms. Pac-Man 60-In-1 I'm sooo excited! I'll post pics as soon as they're delivered! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Nice, better than my first two machines (which I also purchased together) they were Eagle Shot Golf and Super High Impact football, blah! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 How much for them? Did you get an amazing steal on them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devbinks Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 How much for them? Did you get an amazing steal on them? Not sure how much they're worth actually. In total it came to $1,200 >.>; 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 That's not bad to be honest! A Pac 60-in-1 conversion can fetch $750 on a slow day even! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In total it came to $1,200 >.>; 60 in 1 is a good deal, you can also buy a generic jamma wired case (dead or crapy game inside) for $50 or less, the 60 in 1 should be $119 or less,add a few buttons and if you like a better picture rip out the CGA monitor and put in a vga (60-1 has vga output as well as jamma vga. should run about $250 tops when you are done and add some multicade logos in the header. For those less technically incline and just want to play $750 is typical. Enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devbinks Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 As much as I'd love to be able to just build one like that and save money, I've never really worked with this sort of thing so I'd probably blow myself up some how lol Although... you've still managed to pique my interest in trying 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarian63 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 As much as I'd love to be able to just build one like that and save money, I've never really worked with this sort of thing so I'd probably blow myself up some how lol Although... you've still managed to pique my interest in trying There is nothing wrong with that at all, Many of us collectors did the same, my 1st machine I paid a bunch for,though I still have it I was never sorry. Enjoy! Maybe you can make a buck by using yours as a model and making one to sell to someone else. Arcade auctions and craiglist are a good source of the base machine/case. Vaps usually has someone in the forums selling 60-1 and 500 in one whatever the flavor you like for a cheap price. Here is the general chat link,lots of op's and repair guys there. Worth a look. http://www.arcade-museum.com/vaps/talk/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krunchyfrog Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I just picked up my first two Saturday. Tron and Zaxxon. I just wanted Tron really, but I had to by both. I got an amazing deal. With the truck rental and bar tab for the moving helpers, I spent a little under $500. The games were $150 a piece. The both work fine. Zaxxon needs a little work, but Tron looks beautiful. It needs a new insert in the joystick and a new sticker on the spinner and one of the stickers is cracking on the screen hood but other than that everything looks decent. I'm extremely happy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an AMAZING GOOD DEAL! I am betting you are on the east coast, it seems very rare that games pop up for such amazing prices here out west. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am betting you are on the east coast, it seems very rare that games pop up for such amazing prices here out west. I am on the East. I live in a South Jersey suburb of Philadelphia and the machines came from a PA suburb. Right time right place. They were moving, the woman of the house wanted the games gone. She said she had several people call just for Tron, but she wanted everything to go at once. It was a week from the time I called her, until I could pick up the machines. Everyday I was wondering what was going to happen to screw up the deal. Besides having to drag the dolly up a steep hill in her yard... all went well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I just picked up my first two Saturday. Tron and Zaxxon. You lucky dog! I'm sure you know how collectors salivate over that Tron cabinet. And for a $150? You should be sent up the river for that robbery! :thumbsup: This calls for a rep fest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poker_plus Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Nice Score! Tron is one of those games to which emulation doesn't do justice. Is has such wonderfully whacked out controls. Plus it could seriously appreciate in value if the upcoming movie is a hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good thing about TRON is there is an abundance of reproduction parts made for it so restoring them can be easy (although expensive) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 OUCH! My back hurts just thinking about moving those two machines of yours Krunchyfrog! They are a couple of the heaviest arcade games ever made! Especially Zaxxon. You wouldn't think it, but I believe that clocks in at around 400pds. About a year ago, I made the mistake of lugging my Tron down to the basement. I say mistake because someone fell in love with it and threw me an offer I couldn't refuse ($1200, but it had all new repro stuff). I never want to lug up and down my basement a Tron game ever again. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
