A $100 PlayChoice 10 with 10 games. :)

Both monitors needed caps and flybacks. The cabinet needed to be cleaned. The marquee still needs a new bulb. And the control panel will be getting a replacement overlay.

But still... it's a whole lotta fun as it sits!

There are more pictures here...

But I especially like this one...

Since it shows another $100 PlayChoice 10 with 10 games in the background.

My 10 11 year old son wants one in the living room! And honestly... it may end up there for a while. :D


Funniest thing is I bought these two games to get the monitors since we have soo many Nintendo games... but after powering them up and seeing they had 10 games each... I got curious. So now it's looking like I still don't have any spare monitors...

LMAO it almost looks like we have the exact games in our collection!!! Playchoice 10, return of the jedi, pac man cocktail table, Centepede ....you get the idea...i just found that funny!!!!
 
I take it those are the two from Olean, did you guys pick up any of the other games? I hope cwales got his dolly back.

Congrats on it working so well.
 
ten 10's for a PC10 with 10 has #winning written all over it. nice pick up!
 
Thanks guys. :beerchug:

And yep, they are from Olean. I emailed the guy a little while ago and said if he ever gets down to $100/ea I'd take them just for the monitors. I didn't really think it was going to work out but he emailed on a Wednesday and said he'd be at the place Friday thru Monday. Needless to say I got up there ASAP. ;)

I guess he had a lot of people ask about them... but nothing ever came of those and he just wanted the place cleared out. I was thinking about the Midway cabaret but the bottom was too damaged for me. In less than 10 minutes we had the two PC10s loaded and I was out of there.

I just can't believe how much fun I'm having with these. The games really are fun and my son is 110% in love. I'm trying to get him to put one in his room but he'd have to move *way* to many Lego sets for that. :D
 
wow man not one but two pc10s loaded up?? not fair lol..

someday i will have one. ENjoy those man. Awesome finds there for sure.
 
Heh, thanks. I just wanted to add that I never asked if they worked or if they had any games in them because I really did just want the monitors. I didn't even power them up when I went to get them.

I should have never plugged them in here. Once I did and saw that they kinda worked *and* that they had 10 games a piece... my curiosity got the best of me. Then once my son saw all the games in them their fate was sealed. ;)
