I have a 720 Arcade that I need to get rid of ASAP.
Verrry long story short, I picked it up at the beginning of summer, but for a combination of health and money and graduate-school-eating-my-life reasons, the resto never happened and now my spouse is threatening to send it to a junkyard if I don't get it out of the house myself before Thanksgiving.
So, if you can make it to Cambridge MA and take this game off my hands, you can have it for whatever amount of money you think it's worth. Email me at benazeer _at_ gmail for phone number & address.

The previous owner had kept it in her basement arcade. All her games were damaged in a flood, and she didn't have the skill to diagnose and repair the electronics. She says the floodwater got up to two feet high, but I don't see a flood line at that height, or any height for that matter. It might work again with just a new power supply dropped in, or it might need more debugging and repair at the circuit level -- I didn't get far enough to diagnose it beyond "yup, transformer's shot." The door to the back panel is missing, as is the EMI shield. It has an extra metal piece that goes over the speakers, and comes with all the original schematics and user's manual.
Edited to add: I have enough 2 1/4" molding to replace the molding on the bottom of the cab. I also ordered fresh clean artwork that the post office mis-delivered. If I can ever get the tenant at my old apartment to reply to my calls, I can re-sell the art to whoever ends up taking this.
