Let's hear it...I may or may not need some ideas...I have some, but would like to hear others to see if my idea is better or worse...$300 in the form of a tricky dicky fun bill...go!
 
•Tons of art from Phoenix
•New Ms. Pac marquee
•Midway coin plate
•Trip to the powdercoater. :)

Or-
Any Pac game in Cabaret form if I'm lucky.

If the timing was right ...

I saw a few missle command mini's go around that price in decent shape, but I never seemed to have the money at the time or be quick enough to grab it before it's spoken for.

So $300 + some luck... yeah Missile command mini. Definitely.
 
If I had an extra $300, I would probably buy the recoil gun kit from Happ for Area 51.

Speaking of Happ, what is up with their prices? $80 for a Pac stick + shipping. TB has them for $50 and TornadoTerry has them for $25.
 
Coinopwarehouse had a few pacman cabarets....but I have an upright already.

A missile command would be sweet!

Im considering upgrading my 60-1 to an ArcadeSD. The 60-1 blows and the ArcadeSD sounds amazing from the thread and people's reviews. Would be nice to get missile command and some other games that were fit for vertical screens.

Keep them coming!
 
Just picked up a new sander, so I guess I would buy a router and some slot bits. Also maybe a new jig saw and some replacement blades for that and the skillsaw. All to be used in future builds/repairs on arcade games.
 
Joust stuff: Cpo, buttons, marquee, bezel, stencils...pretty much everything but the cab.


That project is a ways off though. I'm sure I'll have alot more than $300 in the arcade fund by then. I just blew most of it on Robotron parts!
 
Marquee lights for my DK Jr, Swimmer, Working Rampage board, DK Jr sideart, lights for my cabaret Turbo, and extra left over for next purchase.
 
If i had an extra $300 to spend, i would give it to the wife for her to buy whatever the hell she wants...

That way when i buy something i have a free get out of jail card...
 
The Randy Fromm dvd set. It's pretty basic, but if you need to know the basics it's a solid start. It will probably pay for itself by saving you from ruining motherboards etc.
