Well, today I picked up the Bud Tapper that I posted about last week. I paid $200 and spent an hour or so cleaning it - it's in fantastic shape. The power cord looks original and doesn't even have the ground pin cut off! The side art looks great, although there's a big gouge on the left side, and it's starting to bubble and peel in the top corner by the marquee. The wiring is unhacked, I can't believe how clean this cab is... It was sitting in a shed for who knows how long, it was dirty as hell, but no rodents living inside, just a few spiders.
After I cleaned it I could see that the monitor is burn-free, and it could use a new cpo. Plugged it in and was surprized that the marquee light worked, as well as the coin door lights - but there's a problem with the board. It just showes garbage on the screen, and won't coin up. I'm going to pull the board and re-seat all the chips, check voltages, all the basic stuff. This is by far the cleanest cab I've ever bought, I'm stoked...
