A guy 8-10 doors down has an Elevator action in a dedicated brown cab. It's pretty beat up (the cab) but has a working boardset and a nice looking monitor (no burn)... what would be a good offer in your opinion taking in to account you're only "somewhat" interested based on space availability, lack of high score save, and the ability to play it on your MAME cab...

EDIT: Hold on... I just checked a pic out and it's in a GREEN Taito cab, not the dedicated brown one (I could have swore it was a brown cab).
 
If the monitor looked really good, I'd offer $200 and hope he says yes. I love EA...
 
I could be wrong, but I thought they came in green.....using up leftover Jungle King/Hunt cabinets. The three-four I've ever seen have all been green. I like the game.....$100.

My understanding is the "dedicated" cab is brown... but they also came in green... but brown/tan is more desirable and rare. The KLOV entry shows it in a brown/tan.

Mine was originally an alpine ski converted to an EA. Other than this it's in similar condition to what you describe. I got mine for $100
 
Dudes asking $250... since I know the guy I asked what's the best he'd do for me and he said $200. I countered with $150 and he said he needs $200 out of it. That is where I stand currently.

I'm on the fence.

Here's what she looks like:

He's not selling the Ms. Pac... and I wouldn't either... she's in damn fine shape.
 
You currently don't have a Taito cab like that in the line-up, right?

You could buy it and turn it into a mutli-Taito.
 
$200 still sounds good. Heck I've seen them go for almost 3 bills, so $200 wouldn't be too far off. Hope you get it.
 
Well, with your help I've managed to convince myself to pull the trigger on this one. I'll be picking it up in about 2 hours.

Anyone know the green paint codes for this cabinet?
 
I would snap up an Elevator Action for $200. The cabinet looks fine from the front. How is the rest of it.
 
A guy 8-10 doors down that has arcade cabs and nice ones too, wow what are the odds?
You in luck!!!
Are you guys friends?

Wish I knew anyone in my neighbourhood that has cabs, chances are zero.

Yeah... we're "friends". No buddies, but not acquaintances either. I've played poker over at his pad a number of times, etc. I also got this very same EA going, along with his Ms. Pac about a year and a half or more ago. He gave me the Galaga (Galaxian conversion) for helping him out that I sold locally after restoring it.

Dudes a good guy...

He just sold a Food Fight conversion (Arkanoid).... and he still has the Ms. Pac and an Asteroids Deluxe conversion (Rygar)...
 
The first time I saw a Elevator Action I thought it was dedicated Green. Then I realized that Brown was dedicated.. I thought it was strange at first.. I'm ok with it now.

I you get it. Get a tatio stencil and paint it the original brown.
