I was sneak peek on the Craigslist and found B+ Condition Popeye and asked for fair price ($350 OBO). I've alway wanted Popeye in my game room just to play and feel this is my grail game!.
Repair: May need new T-molding, one sideart on left had been knifed down but all sidearts are there. (will want to replace that later on). The rest very good condition. I am very happy with the offer I made... $300. I spoke to friend of mine. He said that is average price for that!
It was total 6 hours of driving round trip. I decide to sneak peek to see if any more cabs on the way so that makes my trip worth it. On the way, I had to pull over and contacted and got hooked up for $100 non working Donkey Kong 3 Upright. It was little 5 miles out of way but it s piece of cake. Until I arrived and found out why they are selling so cheap. There were damaged to the wood on sideart. Back corner edges.. Bases look ok but still water damages all over but still solid. Everything completed!. As for $100... I can't complain but take it.
I tested and found out that Monitor doesnt power up for some reason which I havenot figure why. PCB works (hooked up to popeye's monitor). Will figure why later on.
Question here is..
Is that possible to repair that wood damaged ones ????
It was not bad price for me getting my first two Nintendo Uprights!!!
