I never get lucky enough for these

Yep. And looks like he kept the Mouse Trap...

I actually bought the MouseTrap from the flipper yesterday. Paid $175 after I negotiated him down from $300. When I met up he did tell me he got the games for free so there wasn't any misdirection on that topic. I didn't fully realize he'd literally had them for less than 24 hours before selling them until ArcadeClassix pointed out the the earlier post late last night. Still, that's a pretty good deal for what appears to be an excellent condition cabinet and what sounds like a fully working PCB (I heard meow meow and woof woof when I started a game). The monitor neckboard was off and the chassis wiring was kind of rats nested so I'm going through that before firing it up. As for the rest of the items I'm sure you can bargain him down to almost nothing for these if you're patient. He's a poor guy in a poor neighborhood so good for him.

Agreed. At least he wasn't greedy about the Mouse Trap.

This is awesome. Glad it's not some d-bag who wants to sell them for way more than they're worth
 
It could be worse, but congrats on getting one of the arcades for a cheap price (I don't know what's it worth), timerunner.

It's worth it to me as I've been struggling to restore a MouseTrap I acquired that was in the process of being gutted. Through friends and eBay I managed to find PCBs, the slide-out drawer thing plus all of the power supply parts and the coin doors which had all been sold. I still couldn't get the damn thing to work right (audio board always failed and I even have a friend's set of PCBs that also share similar issues). I'm gonna trade my older MT and PCBs to a friend who has an even more frankensteined cabinet that he'd planned to restore.
