Someone I bought 2 arcades from also has a Die Hard arcade for sale. Actually, it's probably close to free, maybe $30-$50. It's not working, but the cabinet is original and in very rough shape.
The seller doesn't know anything about these arcades, he moved into a house that had these arcades just sitting in the car port exposed to the weather (the humidity is brutal in Hawaii). I picked up (2) red Dynamo Z-Back arcades from him, one is an ICade 60-in-1 and was working and just needed the monitor adjusted (bought it for $170), the other is a Capcom CPS II and it works but no working video (bought it for $30).
I'm pretty sure I can get the Die Hard for $30-$50, but I have no idea how bad it is. He said it doesn't turn on at all.
BTW, I'm very new to this arcade collecting/restoring thing, I just bought my first 2 last week and I can see addictive tendencies to scoop up every arcade I find already!
He has a Neo Geo arcade too, but it's working perfectly fine and he wants $500. For some reason, I'm only interested in arcades that are cheap and appear not to work. Weird...
