1 Cooler + 1 Case of Beer = Arcade Game Kung Fu Master

I went and looked at this Kung Fu Master machine and while I was there I could tell that the owner really had no idea about arcade machines. It was a bike rebuild shop and they traded an old go-cart for the Kung Fu some time ago. Well, a while back I remember seeing a CL post that said "Free arcade machine. Just pick it up and bring a case of beer." Going on that memory, I decided to offer these guys a cooler of beer in trade. Just seemed to fit the mood. They totally agreed! So one cooler and one case of Bud Light later and I gain another machine for the collection. Not my cheapest trade but definetly one of my more enjoyable trades. I stayed and drank a few with the crew and had a good time. It needs the original bezel replaced but other than that it's in extremely good shape.

My most interesting trade ever!!

around 1995 or so I was going down a street about 4 blocks from my house. I see a Lunar Lander out in the yard at a place having a yard sale. I stop and ask how much. Guy says $40 and a 40 ounce from the corner store that was next door to his house. :)

Needless to say, I took him up on his price.
 
That I did, and I have the board off for repair. I also have some minor parts coming in to get it back to it's former glory. I'll be sure to post some pics when it's up and running.

Congrats, I see you got the Stunt Cycle. Some of us never got a reply to our PM's. Now you just need the Evel Knievel shirt for when you play it. :D

Cool and congrats again. That was a great score plus I think that's that's the first game I ever remember playing.

Been there, done that. I have a guy that I get games from that I never pay money for, it's always some type of beer and tequila. We call him 'Games for Booze'.

what cab is that originally?

Looks dedicated minus the original bezel.

Yes, it's 100% dedicated minus the bezel.. I've found a replacement but I just haven't broke down and made the purchase yet.
