I got a Frogger from CL last week. It was an odd cabinet that was actually a converted Super Moon Cresta. Looks like it was a factory kit. It uses the "Galaxian" style PCB. I had to remove the AC-DC circuits and put in a power supply, but now it works great! Whatever Op did the conversion used laminate on the sides, then put on the sideart. The art is in great shape, but he messed up the control panel overlay. DO NOT apply a new overlay over black spray paint that is over old adhesive!!!!! Peeled like a bad sunburn!
Here's a pic of the cabinet when I got it. I wrote up a post on my site covering the repairs I made to it so far..
I also picked up a Grayhound Skill Crane from CL from a different seller. It worked great, and just needed a good cleaning. I will probably do some cabinet repair and paint it. I don't really care about keeping this thing 100% original. Anyone ever get a custom marquee made for one of these? I like the way the small bulbs shine through the transparent marquee, and thought it would be cool to make a "Jeff's Classic Arcade" marquee. Might be fun. This purchase made my girls happy! They've begged for a crane game for years! Every time I bought a new game, they would ask "did you get a crane game?"
