    Default Finally got my arcade game!

    I'm sure I overpaid a bit, and the third picture of the monitor isn't a good picture because of the flash The only thing wrong with it is a small discoloration in the lower right corner of the monitor, most likely from the drive back home

    Oooooh, puuurty...

    I know when we get our house the basement's becoming a game room. Then the saving for a Big Red 4-slot begins in earnest

    congrats on the cab pickup! I dare not even ask how much that one set you back

    $350 actually

    I found it on ebay, the guy lived out in Dover, so it was an easy drive. The challenge was getting the thing in thouse, turning corners in hallways, and going down stairs, heh.

    I'd tape off that side art, sand down the side a bit, use some wood putty to fill in those chips, and shoot the side with a coat of black.

    Of course, advice like that is always easier to give than follow. At least two or three of my cabinets are in worse shape than that and I've never done a thing about them. I've found the easiest way to hide bad sides is buy MORE cabinets, and put them close together. Hides all kinds of flaws ...

    Congratulations, and welcome to the club! They're addictive!

    Yeah, it definitely need some touch up here and there.... and there, and there, and there.

    It's the only one I'm gonna have until we get a REAL house, that's for sure, this one BARELY has a place for it, and it's cutting into my kids play area at that

    Never been used sophitia side art eh? Mine's looking a little rough if you ever wanna get rid of it

    Nice machine, and $350 for it is a great deal. I joined the club a couple months ago, and i really would like another.

    Very nice. I bought the pcb for it last year for 25 bucks and it's one of my favorite fighting games.

    If you look hard enough, I don't think you will have to save too much for a 4-Slot. I got one as an early birthday gift a couple months back. It only cost $350 w/4 games. In almost perfect condition. Just keep calling around and I'm sure you will find a great deal.
