I just picked up this Popeye. It is playing Mario Bros, but poorly. The guy had a 8-liner in it, but also kept this board in it with a switcher. The cabinet is beat up, but for $200, I think that I did alright.

I also picked up a Joust cab that was also running an 8-liner, but the original board was not in there. I paid $150 for it. It has a Make Trax CPO and Marquee, but the bezel is still original. The cabinet is in good shape and the side art is in really good shape. I do not know if I overpaid for this one or not.

Those are great prices now these days. I know others know where to find almost free stuff, but lately it's been getting dry.
I would've picked those up no question.
 
I've got a fully-working Popeye PCB that I've been hanging onto if you need it.
 
I've seen that Joust before in a clasping warehouse. I think it was near Emerald. An old OP name Tiny was selling everything off, but wouldn't part with two Joust cabs he had 8 liners rigged into. He had one or two more rigged up, I don't recall their titles.

They would toggle the games back and forth between 8 liners and whatever to avoid detection by the law. I saw one that was trigger by a garage door opener.
 
Yep, you did great. Nintendo arcade games are red hot in popularity right now.

Popeye is a cool game but...


Mario Bros > Popeye
 
d00d, beat up gutted DK/Popeye cabinets with NOTHING INSIDE sell for $500 around the tri-state area and then some here. You did incredible.
 
I just got a DK cab with a Super Mario Bros in it for $500 in Ohio. Needs some work. Sounds like you got a deal!

Man, if the old building could talk just think of the stories it could tell. I've heard a few but imagine there were a ton more.
