Update
Totally bummed out. I went to look at the games today.
The guy and the lady swear they all work and it's just a fuse or something simple.
The mold, mildew, wood rot, rust , water stains, bugs, rat nests w/shit and 3/4 inch of dust grime were normal.
Ohh and the guys played every game when they moved them into storage and they all worked perfect.
Asteroids- Cabinet was descent but it was missing the pcb( Wonder how far along the guys got playing this one with no cpu)
Sinistar - Cabinet was ok but game completely DOA
Ms pacman 1- Lights up scrambled numbers and freaky stuff going on. Guy says "I got the game in test mode"
Ms Pacman 2- Bottom all water damage with a thick layer of mold on the back. " He don't understand because this game worked great he remembers playing it"
Centipede - DOA botom rotted out cabinet separating from sides Rats nest inside
Zoo Keeper - Doa Cabinet rotted on bottom
Popeye - The only game that made noise, attract music and you could see the game playing but monitor was shot.
Space Invaders- Clearly the best cabinet of the bunch- a glow on the neck and that was it. I could see the holders for the cpu but there was nothing in it. I couldnt get in the back door because they had a hasp and a master lock with no key. But it looks like the cpu could be missing.
I brought 2 grand with me not knowing what to expect. I genuinely didn't want to even offer him $500 but I did , he accused me of trying to pick his pocket and these games were easily fixable bla bla bla, . I said you do know that were in a recession and a Good Working clean Ms Pacman can be picked up any where for $400. He said have a nice day.
As I was walking away he said bottom line number was $1000 and take them all.
I though long and hard and I couldn't bring my self to do it. Just to much damage.
He was not willing to sell one or two.
If any one wants his number pm me. I want the space Invaders cabinet only.
