What are your best 'gets' of 2010?

[TheDrewster]

Either my $75 Asteroids (first game of the year!) or my $150 Ms. Pac Man (with new marquee thanks to Mod ). But the year isnt over yet

 

[Phetishboy]

My $400 Space Wars

Close second, my $25 Space Invaders Deluxe:

[Alan173]

Hands down...my grail of all grails - HUO Sprint 2...who knew a game like this still existed?

 

[Spyridon]

I'd say Kick and Robotron were my best pickups, but they aren't staying. Really hasn't been a big pickup year for me so that leaves Mappy, Moon Patrol and Frenzy as the best pickups

All three are in queue for restoration.

That's awesome. This is the one driver I hope to own someday. Nice!

I know, it's one of the few drivers I like... And it's almost ready to start playing Paperboy in the cabinet too.

In the last 2 months I've picked up a Reactor, Major Havoc, and Quantum.. I don't think I'll ever get that lucky ever again!

Earlier this year I got a Track & Field, Galaga and a pristine Asteroids for $300. It took about 20 minutes to get all of them working.

My best gets so far are finding Outfoxies and Boogie Wings pcbs in the same month.

 

[gibbous]

I've brought in 8 games/pins and sold four this year. Seems like I haven't been even that busy with games. Probably been playing the Monopoly most lately.

Also can't wait to get the dedicated Point Blank working. PCB should be here any day now....

Got a Ms Pac at a yard sale a few months ago. Guy says he wants $300.00 so we power it on and it has garbled graphics but he says sometimes it does that and he turns it off/on and it works. Well he keeps doing that with no luck. At this point I figure it is an easy fix since he says he works sometimes but I don't tell him that.

He then proceeds to tell me that his neighbor told him if he didn't sell it that he would give him $200.00 to which I reply well its not working so It may cost more to fix it than its worth. He says ok he will take $100.00. I told him I could give him $80.00 because that was all I had in my pocket(truth is I only had $80.00 because I decided thats all I was going to spend on it when I saw it posted on CL). He reluctantly says ok and helps me load it. As I was leaving he tells me he only paid $50.00 at a thrift store.

Get it home and clean the edge connector and what do you know... a perfect picture. Game plays perfectly with no screen burn and looks to have the original monitor. Still has the manuals in a bag stapled to the back door as well.

Also got 2 Ms Pac/Galage reunion machines for $600.00. 1 working with an Arcadeshop multi-pcb(9 games) and the other non working(blown fuse). Traded one for a Mario Bros widebody and kept one with multi-pcb.

Lastly I will add the Arm Wrestling I got. Never heard of it until I came to KLOV and DJDNS and I worked out a good deal. Love the game now.
