This is the first time I've ever bought 2 games at once for myself. I drove 8 hours through 3 different states to pick these up. Not sure I'll ever drive that far again, but it was worth it. DK needs a little monitor work and new side art. Other than that, it's pretty clean. Ms Pac on the other hand is a bit of a project. It still has the original painted on side art, but it needs a CPO. The seller said that it worked fine for 5 minutes (the day before I bought it) but then themonitor went blank. 4 of the fuses were blown out, so in his infinate wisdom he replaced them, but wrapped them in aluminum foil "to make sure that current got through". After that it worked very briefly untili the whole thing went dead. The monitor sounds like it kicks on, and there is a faint monitor glow (faint in a very bright garage, could be normal). But I figure 3 bills for both and $155 in gas wasn't too bad of a deal.

Kinda bad pics, but you get the idea.

Nice pulls. Ms Pac looks like she's missing the bottom kickplate. Too bad about the lock install on the coin door too. Art looks good though - not too much pink fading. I'd bet your monitor issue is flyback related. Does the game still play blind?

DK is a STEAL - nice work!

Yeah, the lock plates do suck, but oh well. The sides look similar, with minimal fading. These we're originally in a hotel, so I'm surprised they aren't faded to hell. Must have be been out of the sun. Ms pac doesn't play at all.

Dk just needs a cap kit.
 
Nice Pickups With the price you paided you got the DK for Nothing.

Looks like the DK Needs a replacement Marquee and new T-molding and then it looks really nice from the pic shown.

A 155 in gas really is'nt nothing these days with the price of gas right now .

Nope, the marquee on the dk is fine. It just has a "no food our drink" sign suck on with foamy double sided tape. I was pleased that the fuel costs was so low. It was in a power stroke too. Fortunately it was all highway. 460 miles total.
 
nice pick! the ms pac looks like it's not very faded. seems like around here most of them have no pink anymore.

and as far as driving, i'd have to say i prefer driving through nebraska over wyoming. eastern wyoming's just flat and bland. nebraska gets cool as you get more toward omaha.

Unfortunately I did both. North to cheyenne, then east to scottsbluff. At least I had two good buddies with me to help pass the time
