i remember playing bagman as a kid and really liked the game play, but dont remember the cab. were these mostly conversions? i would really love to get my hands on a nice original working bagman. anyone knows how much these go for?
 
Every time I see one pop up it always seems to be a nice dedicated one, usually in the $400 to $500 range.

wow i thought these would go for more and maybe i aint looking enough cause i have not seen any for sale.
 
I have only seen like three of them for sale in the last 10 years, so it isn't like they come up all that often.
 
I am just in the process of restoring one, picked up a mania challenge that turned out to be in a bagman cabinet. Second one I have owned, missed my 1st so when I had the opportunity to restore a 2nd one I had to jump all over it. I have a thread on my restore in the Restorations, Cabinets, and Cosmetics section.
 
I don't think I have ever seen a bagman. Everyone I have seen was a super bagman.

I would think $500 is about right. Its not an easy find.

I have a Bagman PCB buried in a box some place but it is missing around 10 components. I have never tried to power it up, I am sure it wouldn't matter.
 
Ironically you were standing right next to a Bagman the last time you were in south jersey.
 
I built a MAME cab once from scratch....and a I guy I worked with was like "oh my dad has an old cab" so a few months later he tells me it was a bagman.

I went to his house about 2 months ago and the cabinet is stripped sitting in his basement and I asked "Do you still have the Boards and monitor?" he told me he threw them in the trash when he pulled them because he is going to MAME it. I was gonna get them on the boards for people to get their machines restored :(.....oh well. I tried.
