Whew! Ok, thanks for the advice. Seems it is not worth the effort now days. Just thought it would be fun to have a machine on site somewhere. Sounds like there is no fun in it at all.

Yes, this is what I was getting at. I'm not interested in supporting myself with a route - my full-time job does that, I'm just looking to get *one* machine on location. Can anyone share their experience as to the best approach to take to convince a business owner to accept the deal? What...

Ok Scott, I expected some elaboration.. Is there no business model that can work nowadays for this sort of thing?

So there has to be some veterans here that been through the fire so to speak as far as starting a route. I want to put *one* machine on location to start. I have a full-time job that pays the bills and supports my family, but I want to put my feet in the water with an arcade machine. Any...

Black Tiger CPOs bite. Don't get me wrong, I love the game, but the cpo was made with a laminate above the artwork that cracks with time unless it was applied. Both NOS CPOs I have exhibit this cracking to varying degrees. Better to find an existing control panel I would think. This was the...

Not yet..high bid $1.25. Until it gets a bit higher I'd say you're getting what you deserve for parting this out you scoundrel j/k.

Re: If Sumter wasn\'t enough, look at this........ Ok, you need to come clean. What do you do to have so much disposible income? Are you secretly Bill Gates? Come'on, who has that kind of money and is into video games? I don't know but I'm glad you do. Nice warehouse!

If you read this, please know our prayers are with you. Godspeed on your recovery.

I dug around a bit and I can't find the extra Revenge of Doh marquee I thought I had. I also only have one bezel and one cpo, so I can't help much I'm afraid. Sorry to get your hopes up. On the other hand, one thing I do still have is a NOS marquee for the original Arkanoid. The thing is...

I have an extra Arkanoid 2 marquee that I'd let go for $15 + shipping. I think it was cut for a pac cabinet. Or I have a NOS one that I'll sell for $25 + shipping. I have a pair of side art you could have for $15 + shipping. One piece needs wiped down and has a small nick out of the top and...

Re: Is this a dresser or a robotron or what the???? ewwww! me no likey.

Man, the price of stuff just seems to be going down down down. Just saw a Legionaire kit go for $10. Full kit. I don't know, I think mame and multicade has had some effect.

You're a man's man! 1370 mile round trip is impressive. Looking forward to the pics.

You're a wise man. Makes me think of Jim Henson. Damn infection hit so fast he didn't think he needed medical help until it was too late. Also knew a guy at work who had rectal surgery. Days later it started to bleed. He put off going to the doctor. When he finally decided to go, he died...

Ah, can't keep a good man down I see. Welcome back and best wishes for a full recovery.
