So I am about to make an offer on a machine but would like some help.
I have found a Popeye game and the cabinet is about a 7-8 out of 10. There is no sound but I was told that has to do with the board. Either way...I don't really care as I would be buying this only to convert it to a Donkey Kong. Asking price is $300.....
My contact also has a orange cabinet (nintendo) with white t molding and I think at one time it was a Donkey Kong Jr. The Cabinet is 8 out of 10 and he wants $100 and my contact thinks he has the board and would then want $100....if that is not it then I would have to find here or on ebay.
I also would need to use ebay to buy stickers, and all other parts for the conversion or restoration. SO what do you think of the prices? and also what do you think would be harder to do?
I also will be buying the following....
Mrs Pac Man - Marquee and bezel glass 8/10
Galaga - Marquee and bezel glass 8/10
Pole Position - Marquee 7/10
Captain America - Marquee 8/10
Joust - Control Panel - 6.5/10
Being new to the board, and kinda new to arcade collecting I am just looking for advice on what to pay. THe above parts I am buying to pay for the parts to convert to a DK or restore the DKJ. Any advice is wanted. Thanks.
