Just wondering what these cabinets are currently going for. Are they priced around the same or is there a difference? Is $1250 each a fair price? $1500? Or are they more around $2000+ or under $1000? Any help is appreciated.

I have rebuilt several of both of these games. The cabinets can be found pretty easy converted. When a game is converted, bringing it back to good looking condition takes a lot of time and money. Here are some rough estimates on costs you can pay for repairs or initial purchases, savings can be had at the cost of labor.
cabinet 200
monitor 100
chassis 125
game board 300
kick harness 30
wiring 30
power supply 35
side art 200
cpo 75
lexan 75
joysticks 75
buttons 16
marquee 25
coin doors 50
Paint/Bondo 60
t-molding 25
lighting 20
Isolation 20
hardware 10
Total 1471
The amount of time will be close to 10 hours as well.
I am able to sell a Turtles or Simpsons game that is completely rebuilt for 2000- 2500
This does not include transportation costs / delivery or installation (installation means dragging the game into the game room after all the post office does not bring your bills in the house and place them in the bill box ha ha)
Always ask questions about what has been done for the rebuild, what the person is willing to include in terms of delivery or installation. Rebuilds on these games can be very rewarding and they both turn out beautiful.
A game that has not been rebuilt can sometimes be acquired for less, though these games are in demand so sometimes that is not the case.
Hopefully this can shed some light onto why a rebuild can often cost as much as it does while also providing insight onto cost of acquiring parts if missing. Original parts will cost more (joysticks / buttons ect..)
All that effort.... And it is still not an original... It's a restored original.
But that price break down is on point +-125 for regional parts cost variance.
