Close. Went and picked this up last night. Guy has owned it since '94, said it just stopped working a while back and it needed to go fast. He recently had the flyback replaced. Said it was probably just a fuse. Got her home, unloaded it, pushed a pin back into the AC connector and she fired right up. Can't believe I finally got her.

That bezel and overlay look especially good and it's hard to tell from the camera but the marquee doesn't seem faded either, very nice score!
 
What was the damage, my good man?

Picked her up for $300. I have been looking for over a year. Everybody wants an arm and a leg for them around here. So I took the gamble. The bezel, overlay and marquee are in especially good shape. The bezel is damn near perfect and the marquee has two small scratches and that's it. Cab has no water damage or breaks. Probably touch up a couple spots and leave it be. Really happy with this one.
 
I love when that happens. Love it. I picked up a lot of games ... was supposed to be 9 non working 6 working.... ended up being 6 non-working and 9 working because the guy didn't realize there were POWER SWITCHES on the top of the cabs (he just plugged them in).

That would be fantastic.
 
I picked up my TMNT very cheap because it wasn't working. The only thing wrong was the on/off switch went bad. Bypassed the switch and it was turtle power! Absolutely everything down to the coin door lights works. Oh I forgot I had to add a new power cord because it had been chopped off :rolleyes:.
 
At least it was something simple. My favorite CL descriptions always seem to include "Probably just needs this $20 part to completely fix it"..... I mean, if all it take is 20 bucks to fix it and get the maximum amount for your dollar. Why wouldn't you just do it then before you list it....lol :rolleyes:

That is awesome! a Ms Pac in that condition is hard to come by these days for $300!

Thanks! As soon as he said he has owned it since '94, I was in. It has the typical wear where people grab onto the side but other than it's in pretty good shape. Couple spots here and there that are a little worn but I'm not complaining.

The wear is standard and not something that requires a complete repaint, unless you are bothered by things like that.
