If this is legit this is an excellent deal.

We are selling 2 vintage arcade games - Galaga & Ms PacMan. Owner has had both since the '80s. These need some TLC, but are a great find for someone that can refurbish the games. Please read carefully for the condition of both. Asking $300 for both games.

GALAGA
- Original instructions included.
- Front coin box is open with access to electrical wires. Would need to replace lock if desired. Coin slots work but are rusted.
- Audio works and buttons work, however, screen is out. Some wires are disconnected and this may be a simple fix, but we are not interested in spending the money to repair.
- Original cabinet. Could be easily touched up with paint and new decals.
- Currently programmed to "free play" mode.

MS. PAC MAN
- Front coin box is locked and will need to be opened by a locksmith. Coin slots work but are rusted.
- Original instructions *may* be inside the coin box - this was the location of the instructions on the Galaga game. If not, instructions can be purchased from eBay or basic instructions can be used from the Galaga game.
- Audio and video both work. Far right side of the video display is slightly askew; may be fixable but unsure. Video colors seem slightly dulled, again, may be fixable but unsure. When powered up, the game needs to be on a few hours before the video screen is on completely.
- Original cabinet. Could easily be touched up with new decals.
- Currently programmed to "free play" mode.

DIMENSIONS OF EACH GAME:
67.5" tall x 24.75" wide x 33" deep
wheels and handles are built into the machine in the back

CASH ONLY. BUYER MUST BE ABLE TO MOVE AND TRANSPORT BOTH GAMES. We are not responsible for the games once purchased - buyer assumes all responsibility of careful moving & transportation.

PLEASE EMAIL IF INTERESTED. I check email regularly throughout the day and will get back to you ASAP. Please include your phone number for fastest response. Thanks!
 
It WAS a good score! Two really nice machines. Both are playing blind.
Galaga#157(sweet low number I thought), plays blind and has a G07 with no high voltage. Ms Pac 23,432 with a 4600 that has vertical collapse.....
The plan is to give Galaga a full resto, and Ms Pac a good cleaning, and redo the control panel? Not sure what it needs aside from that. The art is a little faded, but still nice, so I'd hate to ruin it with anything less than full stencils......So I'll probably just leave it be.....

Funny story, it was an older lady that had them in her garage for the last 25years. She said her husband worked for ""Fun and Games" in Youngstown at one point. Somehow he acquired them? She said her husband had them in the garage and her kids and grand kids all played them growing up. She said at one point her husband moved Galaga into their dining room. She said she "quickly put and end to that", and made him put it back in the garage. I said to her "Oh Boy, you'd HATE my place then!!" LOL!
So anyway she was cleaning out her garage and knew they "didn't work anymore" and was just going to haul them to the curb as TRASH!!!!
Her daughter convinced her to put them on CL and that's where I came into the story!
I kind of think if I would have said "Yeah, they aren't what I'm looking for, I'll give you $50 a piece to haul them away" I'd of gotten them for $100.....
BUT, I was happy to get them for $300, I would say each machine is worth that.....
I never score deals like this! :)
Anyway stay tuned, in the next couple weeks, I'll be starting a Galaga resto thread! :)
The monitor is already out and in the process of being rebuilt!
Here are a few pics because it really happened! :)
SCORE!!

Bad transister 304 or 305 in the vertical deflection circuit on the daughter board on that 4600 I'm guessing?
Not totally sure just yet though, I haven't had a chance to tear into it just yet. Been too busy trying to get that pesky G07 in Galaga going!
