So I've got a request from a guy to build them a 60-in-1. How much do you guys charge for one?

What cabinet and is there any sideart?
I charge anywhere from $700 to $1200 depending on what amount of detail I get involved with.
He's going to hate the 8-way, btw. I'd put in a 4-way so you don't get complaints about how the joystick doesn't work right when playing Ms Pac-Man. He'll never notice Xevious doesn't go diagonal...
I agree with this range. It really depends on how much you pick a cab up for and how much of it you can reuse (pwr supply, joystick, artwork...). All the parts add up. I tend to gut a cab and use all new guts, that way I know everything is solid.
I'm gutting the existing cab because it Is wired for Mr do castle and is a terrible rats nest job. I'm just going to install a Jamma harness and power supply. I already rebuilt the g07 and it looks great.
I was really struggling with this but the games he really requested were Galaga and Ms pacman so I think you're right. I didn't realize the 60 in 1 didn't compensate for and 8 way joy on a 4 way game. I can't say I'm surprised though considering the quality of the sound.
What's wrong with the quality of the sound on Galaga or Ms Pac-Man? The only one a non-arcade-geek would notice as crappy is Gyruss. Most aren't going to notice the missing step sound on Donkey Kong nor the difference with Bombjack (among others). Hell, I've never seen a dedicated Bombjack, so what do I care? It sounds fine to me...

Charging 1200$ for a bootleg 60$ board job + crappy cab restore job is sad.
