Master Phruby #1 Posted December 3, 2012 About 17 years ago I picked up a working Atari Kangaroo arcade machine at a local thrift store. They had mis-marked it at $50 but let me have it anyway for that price. The machine is in great shape. The side panels are prefect, the coin slot works but the marque and coin slots don't light up. It even came with the keys, instruction manual and schematics! When we were expecting our third child, the cab was moved to my brother-in-law's house for storage. Now after six years it has returned! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Ransom #2 Posted December 3, 2012 That is awesome! What a great buy. I really enjoyed that game in the arcade. I like the home ports of it, too, but the arcade version was really special. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Master Phruby #5 Posted December 6, 2012 I used one of those magic erasers on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pce_collector #6 Posted December 6, 2012 That's a terrific score for $50. It looks like it was professionally restored. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RJ #8 Posted December 6, 2012 I bought a empty one that I use for my PS2 arcade setup. The side art is fantastic, even though mine's between the wall & my Xevious machine. Yet again, another great cheap coin op thrift store find. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
