Got a text from a buddy (non arcade) of mine this morning with a text that his neighborhood was having a community garage sale and told me there was a completely working Frogger for sale for 300 bucks. Called him back and he went down there and got me in touch with the seller who confirmed its fully functional but they had set it to free play and didn't know how to switch it back and that was the only thing "wrong" with it. I promptly told her I would give her 200 and she snapped called that price.

Picked it up and all it needs is a new CPO and some cleaning, maybe a bit of restore on the coin door. Heck, it doesn't even need a cap kit. All in all not a bad pickup for the price. And on a whim.

With that said, who out there has the best quality Frogger CPO?

So are you going to try and fix it to take quarters again or leave it broken on free play?

:D

Congrats! Great game.

BTW, who's arm is that? Looks a little creepy.

Good pick up! This must be the weekend of steals. I just got a working qbert for $200. CPo was a bit messed up but passable. Good thing there was a NOS one lovingly placed inside of the machine :) only thing wrong with it was it didn't have the gotlieb raised coin door
 
Enough with the anime first we had Seinfeld now this... Weaboos

Nice snag!

I just picked up a nonworking but complete Sea Wolf last weekend for $100. It's very rough, but repairable.
