Picked up a new addition to the home arcade at auction tonight, the romantic Popeye. Serial Number 00294. $140. Cabinet is in pretty good condition. Much of the artwork is shot.

Nice now you just need to get rid of those dishes.. The clock looks ok, but I would move it away from the machine so you can see the cool sideart...
 
Congrats on the pickup. Nabbed a great price on that one. How many plays does it have on the coin counter? Mine is SN 05435 with a count of 018687
 
The coin counter has a reading of 79066. I haven't played it yet. I still have to move it from the garage down to the basement arcade.

I did drill the lock off the back door and then replaced it with a new one from Home Depot.

All of the button seem to be wrong. The joystick is missing the spring and it is quite dirty and rusty. I ordered some parts from Mike's Arcade to rebuild the joystick and replace the buttons and micro switches.

theres a popeye in that pic?
 
Here are some more pictures of the inside and outside of the cabinet.

I found a bunch of tokens in the bottom of the cabinet stamped "NEW MIYAKO 777" on them.

On the right side of the cabinet, there was three layers of side art, one on top of the other ... all Popeye.

Here are a couple of more pictures of the outside after half an hour with a "Wagner HT1000 10 Amp Heat Gun."

I'll spray some Goo-Gone on the sides to get ride of the rest of the sticky junk.
