FS Game: Anybody like buying projects?

[Humdinger]

Well I thought I'd never do this, but at 53 my interests are changing, so I thought I'd throw this out there just to see if anyone in or reasonably near Mississippi might be interested in some UNFINISHED PROJECTS.
1. Paperboy: ****SOLD**** slightly damaged Championship Sprint cabinet, all new UN-applied artwork (marquee, sides, cpo, and handlebar art) from ThisOldGame, working boardset and rebuilt crisp monitor with some burn that doesn't affect gameplay, a set of handlebars that needs rebuilding and cleanup (complete with an UN-installed Atari NOS lower handlebar carriage assembly); new full ROM set; brand-new aftermarket control panel (and the original one too), new grips, spring set, etc.). Even has the original Paperboy block-off plate that came in the CS cabinet in case the conversion was done. I'm thinking $1500 for the works.

2. Stargate: [PICS AND MORE NOTES ADDED BELOW]: cabinet needs restoration but isn't too bad; nice semi-working boardset, no monitor, new art included (cpo, sides) but not installed. Needs upper rear door and feet. Thinking $450 on this.

3. TRON: ****SOLD**** working boardset except for a recent "ROM 4" error; full $650 UN-installed art package from Phoenix Arcade; extra boardset, 2 original shrouds, Arcadeshop power supply converter with switcher, brand new full harness, I'd say the cabinet was in a 7-8 out of 10 condition; slight fraying on bottom sides, good top. Started peeling old side art off but never finished. Thinking $1200 on this one.

That's all for now. Because these are unfinished projects, I WILL NOT ship them—pickup in Brandon, MS is required. It would take me some time to gather pics of all this, so I have tried to fully and accurately describe them.
I am leaving the hobby for the most part in 2023 and I need the space for other endeavors.
Thanks for looking.

Oh, I like buying projects. I'm just not so good at working on them after that...

I told Jawn in person that I was gonna leave the hobby someday and he said, and I quote " YOU!? you might sell some games. You might sell all of them, but YOU will buy more eventually." lol. Hit the nail on the head.

Paperboy has been ***SOLD***. Only Stargate remains.

Stargate pics. Needs some TLC. Feet are gone so cabinet bottoms are ground down a bit. Missing upper marquee bracket. Marquee is original, but new side art and cpo are included. Boardset will work, but resets once in a while. Power supply hasn't been touched so it could be the problem. Full set of new 4164 RAMs and adaptor on-board. No monitor. No upper rear door.
