Looking for (3) games - Mario, DK, Popeye in Texas...

First time poster here...I've recently gotten out of the reef tank hobby and have some space for 3 different games. The 3 I really want are the original Mario Brothers (wide body), Donkey Kong and Popeye. I'm being pretty picking on the condition of the machine but wanted to check and see if there was anyone in the North Texas area that would have any of these games for sale.

Thanks,
MD

Welcome to the group. I am in Tyler Tx and will ask around this area to see if anyone wants to part with one of those games.

I'm in Arlington.

This is the Mario I remember. http://mariobrosarcade.blogspot.com/

Are you telling me the original Mario is in the same cabinet as the Donkey Kong Jr Cabinet?

I actually know the original DK is a red cabinet but good luck finding that one.

MD

You realize that the cabinet in that blog was built from scratch?

I think the MB was the orange cabinet (the wide-body).
 
Thanks for the welcome.

yeah I realize that...I just remember (or thought I remembered the mario cabinet i played as a kid being blue. Anyhow, those are the three games I'm looking for. I know the Popeye and DK are blue, if I can find the original Mario in Orange or conversion in blue I'll be happy.

You say the Mario cabinet is wide. I have 7 feet available in my game room and know the other cabinets are around 24 inches. The Mario cabinet isn't more than 3 feet is it?

No not 3 feet, you should be able to search on here and get the exact measurements. I am totally guessing (not nearby to measure mine) - but I think it *might* be 3 or 4 inches wider than a "regular" nintendo cabinet.
 
lol, I am not the only one not knowing wtf a wide body mario was :)

There was a thread to mario wide body where many gave pics of all the nintendo cabs.

Yes, an original dedicated Mario Bros. is wider than a DK and looks like this next to one:

I've located a Popeye and DK Jr that I'm trying to buy. I really want the oringal DK but this one will make due until I can find it. They are both in excellent conition but they both lack the side art. Cabinets and marquis are all original...not sure why the side art is gone but someone pulled it off (can see reminants on the side rivets/buttons).

Anyone know of a Mario (wide body) in Texas that's in really good shape?

I consider wide body the Golden Tee 05 and NBA Jam I have...those things take up room.

I went and looked at that machine. The picture and art are in good shape but the cabinet at the bottom needs some work so I passed. I'm being very picky and only want very clean games. If they aren't the wife might not let me bring them in the house.
