Tonights Score - Marble Madness, Road Runner, Peter Pack Rat, Elektra

My Craigslist score tonight that I got from a local "Storage Wars" guy: 2 Marble Madness cabinets. One I think is complete. It is locked up with no key. It powers on with junk on the screen but does not coin up. The other one is missing one of the PBC's. I also got an Elektra pinball. It is missing the legs and marquee glass. It is also locked up. It powers on but does not coin up. I got these for $75 plus $20 for the guy to deliver them 45 minutes away. Good deal?

If I drill out the lock on the pinball are the locks on the Ballys easy to find or is it going to be a problem?

Thanks

$75 total, or $75 each?
 
I've wondered how often arcade games turn up in these abandoned storage unit auctions. That's the only reason I'd like to go to one.
 
$75 total. The guy wanted $50 each, but I was able to talk him down to $75 for all 3. He had some others but I had never heard of them. The ones I remember were Road Runner and something like Pack Rat. I don't remember.

You're joking on the Road Runner and Pack rat I hope, if not PM me his number, I'll be glad to pick those up :)

If that is Peter Packrat, I'd go back. That kit can bring some serious money....
 
U need to RUN back and get the others and sell them and the extra Marble madness for a pretty penny..... what a steal!!!!!!!!!! just the working road runner and peter packrat kits sell for 225 to 300 bucks usually...
 
I think a Peter Pack rat kit sold for $250 or so not too long ago. Not sure about Road Runner around the same price range I would guess.
I would love to get one someday so if you don't want to get it let me know.
 
I am going to go back and get them. Thanks for the info. I almost didn't stop to get the first set because it was in such a scetchy place. We were deffinetly in the wrong part of town.
 
Elektra is a fun pin, I had one a couple years ago-- first multi-level pinball. The guy I got it from had it since it was new!
 
No, not joking. I guess I need to do some research. What are those worth?

Something is wrong with you. You should go schedule and appointment with our KLOV physiatrist.






I kid.:) But seriously,you should go back and get those.


EDIT:

Does the monitor on the right Marble Madness have the letters O, G and C written into the dust?

I know I am kicking myself now. I was standing there and almost got them all at the same time and thought they were probably just major duds. Oh well, thanks for setting me straight guys. :)
 
Does anyone know where to find backglass for the Elektra or am I going to be out of luck?

Thanks
 
Ok, got the Road Runner and Peter Pack Rat today. Got them for $40 each plus $20 for the guy to deliver them 35 miles across town. I could have gotten them for $75 total including another game that I didn't recognize, but didn't want to rent a trailer and drive into the hood. (You remember that scene from Training Day when they go into the housing complex and every was watching them. Yeah that was about it.)

I will put some pictures up tomorrow don't know how to do it from my iPhone. They both look complete and original minus a front door on the Peter Pack Rat. Didn't have time to dig into them today but did plug them in. The pack rat was dead except for red LEDs on the boards. The Road Runner powered up but would not coin up and no picture. It is locked up. Have to get out the drill tomorrow.

Great score! The only way you could probably make everybody be even more jealous is to remember that the last game called "Discs of..." somebody. :)
