Looks like a pretty fresh Pac-Man to me. I'm not picking on the cabinet itself BTW, it does look nice, but the CP is flimsy plastic, and take a look at the monitor. The lack of copyright screams 48-1 with 47 disabled.

I wouldnt normally post this but it was a sight in person. Only $780 and you can haul it home.

I've seen gumball and other vending machines, even pachinko machines at the local antique malls; but never an arcade game. I did sell some Japanese slot machines at the local antique mall before, so it doesn't surprise me too much to see this. Keep an eye out and the seller might move into dealing some classics. You could even try contacting the person, just ask the proprietor of the antique mall for the contact information. Worth a shot, because you never know what might turn up. As for authenticity of the machine, I couldn't help you there. I'm still new to this hobby myself.
 
I have definitely seen arcade games at antique malls before. I found a Space Duel with a bad monitor on the third floor of a junk shop one time. Played blind. $50!
 
It's in pretty nice shape cosmetically, even if it's reproed, and a vram addresser problem, but not too outrageous of a price for what you see and where it's sold...
 
I just dont understand why anyone would put the effort into making a nice cab and then ruin it with a cheap and flimsy CP. The price would be OK if it was working perfect.
 
Hmm... I have never seen a video arcade machine at an antique mall before. I have seen 2 pinballs an old EM, a japanese slot, and a number of gumball machines.
 
Just curious, which antique mall was it? We gots a whole bunch here in Mid Mo!
