    Default Your Thoughts on this CL Machine

    I've been thinking of getting an arcade machine for a long time, My console collection is pretty extensive but I dont know anything about arcade cabinets. How does this one look? I'm looking for a good price, versatility, and Original(non-Modified). Any thoughts on Red Tents, Playchoice 10 or VS machine preferences?

    Play choice 10 arcade game by Nintendo - refurbished and in awesome condition in and out, new control panel art, new paint, new tinted glass, gone through completely, works perfect 2 great monitors, plays the following games

    mega man, mike Tysons punch out, rad racer, double dragon, double dribble, teenage mutant ninja turtles, (T M N T ) , gradius, pro wrestling, Trojan, contra,

    good working condition - ready to go now

    Both of the monitors (Playchoice has two) are shot. Colors really faded, which is common with those machines. Don't know if that's a monitor problem or something else though that causes it.

    At first it seems like it might be a good deal but it probably isnt..

    The seller says it's refurbished and has "two great monitors" so maybe the photos aren't doing them justice. But it looks to me like you're paying a dealer's price for a restored machine (I don't know the average price of a PC10, are they often $1,000? or are the game contributing to that price? ) when there are much better deals to be had. Plus, PC10s are neat but to me they're just NES games in the wrong environment. If I were you I'd look for a Neo Geo MVS.
