So a guy advertised a coin-op on craigslist as NBA Jam TE - Just what I had wanted since I was a kid
It was 3 hours away, same town as my cousin lived in. He picked it up for me - placed it in his garage. The guy told me it was great shape and working perfect.
Yesterday, I spent $100 worth of gas and 6 hours worth of driving to pick it up
This is what I have
1) NBA Hangtime not NBA JAM TE
2) the 4 joysticks, 1 which does not seem to operate and 4 buttons that seem to be jammed
3) A screen that says Rom Errors when It tried to boot up.
4) A more blurred screen around the characters - like they are fuzzy and the writing is fuzzy
5) I have no plexi or anything to mount the marquee
I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT COIN OP ARCADES - This was a bit of a dream for me to get NBA Jam and this is what I am dealt with....any idea if i can do anything about any of the issues at hand?
I probably got ripped - but paid $400 for this and have between 100-125 worth of gas into it....so I am up to 500-525
