I'm going to have to vacate my apartment due to foreclosure (landlord lost the place), and I don't want to move all of these machines to my new place. I need to thin out my collection a bit...sob! I hate this.

But, anyhow, let my loss be your games. At this time, I'm looking to trade ALL of this for one "special" machine in a LOCAL transaction. I'm not looking for a Zektor, but something you could say might be a legitimate fair trade, and don't be afraid to throw ideas at me. No individual machine selling at this time - I'm seeing if I can get rid of the whole shebang in one transaction. You swap your one game for the lot. I'll gladly send pictures for serious offers. The lot includes:

Donkey Kong - Tastefully restored machine, all art there. Looks great, good electronics, plays perfectly with controls that feel just right and worn in.

Frogger - This one is very original with a great monitor and great controls. Plays exactly as Frogger should; aesthetically pleasing. Full side art on both sides.

Asteroids - Original to a fault. The sort of machine that looks like nothing's ever been replaced. Plays well, but picture occasionally dims. Very solid & presentable cabinet. Gets a lot of action at my place.

Super Punch-Out!! - Restored cabinet, great looker. Just bought "Super" decals for it (not yet installed). Restored Super Punch-Out!! control panel with "duck" label. Game plays perfect but colors on top monitor are funny, and colors on lower monitor fading in and out - this MIGHT be a board issue, since the monitors were supposedly capped before I got the machine. Haven't had time to test, but also have working Punch-Out!! board to swap in and see (which will come with the machine).

Championship Sprint - Dedicated, sides painted black. Could probably use cap kit, dirty inside. If there's a beater in the bunch, it's this one - but it's not bad at all. Plays good, too. Could use tempered glass on front.

*If it'll sweeten the pot for a particularly good game, I'll throw in one of two Galaga cabarets I have. The one available in this trade is average cosmetically and has a spliced wire on the harness from the CP - but otherwise works plays very well.

Not interested in MAME/multis or anything newer than `84. :) Thanks for looking!

Space ace? Fire fox upright? Marble Madness? Just seeing if any of those interest you?

Thanks for running those by me - but nah, not interested in those particular games.

What I'm looking for: a cabaret/mini machine, a hard-to-find cocktail. Just as a *very* general guideline...

It might help folks to know where you are located.

D'oh! Sorry - left out details. As the subject says, I'm in Southern California - but specifically, about 45 min south of L.A. in Orange County - Newport Beach area.
 
Okay - extra information, and another game...

*I also have a Punch-Out!! marquee and additional control panel to go with that game

*If it'll sweeten the pot for a particularly good game, I'll throw in one of two Galaga cabarets I have. The one available in this trade is average cosmetically and has a spliced wire on the harness from the CP - but otherwise works plays very well.

So, six games now, for your 1. You pick up / drop off. :D
 
How about Missile Command cabaret?

Ha - yeah, that's the one everyone's PMing me about. :D At this point, I'm trying to hang onto the Bull Fight and Missile Command cabaret.

The condition of the MC cabaret is ridiculous. No cp wear, no physical damage, all original, low play count on the counters. I can't bring myself to part with it.
