I am an 80s nostalgia collector and just got back into the hobby again after my first child was born. We want to get into it again as I used to be heavily into action figures, comics, etc. and I want him to have fun and appreciate everything I loved as a child. He's only 9 weeks old but my fiance and I figured I'd get a jump start.

I'm pulling out all my old display cases from my parents house for a single display in my living room and I've already begun buying up cool toys I sold in the past.

While I didn't join here to be an arcade collector, I did want to find a single arcade as the highlight to my collection. Not looking for anything restored or perfect, just a nice used but working cocktail arcade machine. I want a dedicated machine and don't mind obscure titles, just anything cool for display and playing. I can't fit a full sized but a cocktail would be perfect. On a budget so I was hoping one of the area gurus would have something in storage they might think I like. I restored a Donkey Kong upright in the past so know a little about the hobby and wouldn't just buy a machine then leave the forum...I do want to learn a lot here and use the forum if I have problems, but I don't care to have a huge collection, at least not now lol

I like the Nintendo titles like Donkey Kong and Jr, but also like the other classics. I realize certain games sell for a lot so was hoping I could find an Asteroids or defender or something.

Please PM me if you think you might have something I'm looking for. Located in Tewksbury MA

Thanks!

I'm sorry if this bumps the thread but I was thinking that I should also be open to machines that don't work. I absolutely love a project and and I see that people on here some times trash machines if they can't sell them and don't have time for another project. So maybe I can find something for next to nothing

If I could find a machine that isn't working but the cabinet is in good shape that would be great!

On a budget, I figured I could find an amazing deal on what I'm looking for and just do the work myself for fun.

Cabarets are cool too though I know less common.

Top games on list are the usual: Ms. Pacman and Pacman, Donkey Kong and Jr, plus open to others that were made at the time.

I'm sick of finding craigslist sellers with non-working machines who want close to normal price for their arcades. Really annoying.

I know someone here can dig up what I'm looking for so please keep me posted.

Thanks so much!
