I've sold a couple of the 'take a rag to it and throw in the board' 48 in 1s. Hell, one I sold still had the altered Beast marquee in it and had left handed controls. I got $600 IIRC for that one.
- Dynamo 2P cabinet cleaned up nice, with multicade marquee. Originally a dirty nasty Top Gunner.
- Williams Defender knock-off genericab with left hand controls and busted Altered Beast marquee. The cabinet was near mint. I had to replace the G07 chassis, but the tube and picture was excellent. Originally an Altered Beast when I got it with dead monitor. To be fair, I was going to rearrange the controls and put art on it, but I got a cash offer I couldn't refuse and kept me from doing all of that work.
- 1942 in a Super Pac cabinet painted solid blue. Wiring was hacked all to hell per 1942 kit instruction manual. Seriously, that manual would make some of you purist guys cry. Left the 1942 art all intact since it looked nice and was one of the games. I did have to create a jamma adapter since 1942 is non-standard.
Right now I am working on a horizontal 450 in 1 multicade that will be done up real nice with full artwork and sell for $950. The guy who will be buying it seems to be dicking around with me though. If he expects me to lower my price, he is sorely mistaken. I'll just throw it on craigslist for $1200 and make even more money off of it.
Though I will offer him a discount for trading the nice monitor out for a pac burned G07.
Bottom line, they pay the arcade bills for me.
