I am overflowing with restored games, and I need to let a few of them go. I am going to start with 2 of my 4 restored Nintendo machines. First up we have a very nice restored Popeye. Cab has been repaired, restored and repainted, including the back door. New T-molding and side art. Sanyo monitor has been recapped. Bezel and marquee have been Novussed and are in very nice condition. Control Panel is in very nice original condition. Game works 100%. I would not be selling this, but I am currently building myself a Popeye cabaret and don't need 2 of the same game. Gorgeous machine, ready to move into your high-end game room or formal dining area. Price is $650 or B/O.

Next up we have a fully restored Donkey Kong 3 machine. Yes I know that's kind of a misnomer as DK3 was a kit game, but trust me when I say that this is the closest to a dedicated DK3 you will ever see. Cab has been restored, repainted (including the back door) and new Radarscope Red vinyl has been installed on the front 3 sides. New T-molding has been installed. NOS Side art has been installed. The control panel is nearly perfect. Bezel and marquee have been novussed and are in stunning condition. Coin door was repainted and coin mech face plates have also been repainted. Base has been fully restored and repainted. This machine comes equipped with a capped and burn-free 19" Sharp XM monitor. This machine is a stunner. Were you looking for a museum quality DK3? You may have just found it. The only flaws I can find are in the NOS side art. there were a couple of storage crinkles along an edge or 2 that can be seen in the right light. Not very noticeable. No tears or scratches or anything, just slight crinkles from age and storage. This machine is ready for your game room or museum. Price: $750 or B/O.

Word.

I'd love either one of those machines.

Thanks guys, yeah I'd actually be keeping these but the wife did a walk-thru of the cade and gave me a new goal to shoot for. Get rid of 6 arcade machines and we'll consider purchasing a newer pinball machine for Christmas.

No do not sell your soul for a pinball. Good lukc with the sale. Those are some nice machines.

Oh no, I won't be going that far. Hell, even if these machines don't sell I'll still be picking up the pinball, but I have to make an effort, you know? If I were looking for these 2 titles, I'd buy these myself. Awesome condition and did I mention that they are move-in ready? Plug and play. Or plug and stare. Or plug and brag.
 
I might be interested in the DK3 but would have to work out some kind of deal since Im in Ames Iowa.

Spee Dee Delivery (based here in St. Cloud) will deliver it to you for $100 or so. Just go to their website, then call them to set it up. I'd have to pallet the machine, which I normally charge $50 for. Pay the asking price, I'll pallet the machine for free.
 
If you are getting rid of 6 cabs for a pinball, make sure it's understood that you are getting an A list title, or a NIB pin.
 
OK, had a possible deal on the DK3 but that fell thru. I am pretty firm on these prices, but these aren't your typical CL beaters either. If you are looking for one of these Nintendo machines in really nice condition, LMK. I hate to see them go, but honestly, I need the space and I am building cabarets of these exact titles within the next year or so. Time to let these go. The DK3 is gonna be the real gem here, as everything on it is perfect, including the rebuilt & burn-free Sharp XM Monitor.
 
I think those are fair prices. I'd love a minty Popeye but you're too far away. Is it a ply cabinet?
 
Very nice looking machines. I know everyone is tired of hearing it...only if you were a little closer. I wouldn't even ask the wife for permission.
