we're talking nothing replaced, not t-molding, not a cap, an overlay, not a chip, nada. this is how it came from the factory. i know it's tough but it is possible. i would have to say my crystal castles. my tempest cabaret comes close but it had monitor work done. crystal castles....final answer.

would have to be my NFL Blitz, never seen an arcade no lock bar holes, art is nigh on mint, original t-molding everything is as is, since I got it from its owner, he worked at Midway on the actual Game :)
 
My Centuri Swimmer machine. All of my machines are sub-$100, so none are perfect.

The Swimmer is pretty nice, it's just missing most of the side art.

Probably my mad planets before I replaced the CPO and put a NOS flight stick cover on.

My Venture is very close but was forced to replace the monitor after Yellow Freight f***ed it up!!!

Hmm.

Either my Virtua Fighter. I have only replaced a single cab and resistor on the monitor chassis.

Or maybe my Killer Instinct. Just recently replaced the original hard drive with another original hard drive I had lying around.
 
My home use only centipede. It was bought (by the previous owner) at an estate sale. It was an export machine that was shipped back to the states. VERY NICE condition, and I haven't done anything to it cosmetically...
 
Gravitar. All original. 7 clicks on the coin counter.

The Asteroids I picked up back in July. Less than a thousand plays before it was mine. Close but not exactly factory because I did have to replace one ceramic resistor in the monitor with a bare wire. The manual and schematics also look brand new.

My Joust upright. Everything is original. No security bar holes. The coin mechs are intact and barely used. The inside of the cab is beautiful; there was just a light layer of dust over everything from 28 years of sitting in someone's home.
