This has to be the best two weeks for deals I've had in years. I've been looking for an upright Food Fight for quite awhile and either missed or passed on some that were just too darn much. In the last week, I've picked up THREE!!!

1st - two weeks ago - Craigslist ad in Lansing, Michigan. A converted cab painted black. Fully working Hatris. Art looks to be in great shape under the paint.

2nd - last Sunday - Craigslist ad in Tecumseh, MI. A converted FF to Crystal castles. Sideart intact and in nice shape. One small bit of damage to the middle of one side.

3rd - yesterday - Craigslist ad in Columbus, OH. A dedicated FF that is stuck in test mode.

The best part is that I'm into all of these for considerably less than $300!

FYI - the Columbus seller still has a fully working Kangaroo in really nice shape for $200 and a Section Z in equally good shape that could be likely had for the same or less.

Wow, you guys really love Final Fight, huh?




(Yes, I know. However, this fills me with fear that KLOV will turn into RGP's unintelligible mess of random abbreviations.)
 
uhoh, the first thing that popped into my head WAS Final Fight. What does FF really stand for?
 
Fast Freddy?
Feeding Frenzy?
Fight Fever?
Fighting Fantasy?
Flim-Flam?

There's more, but I'm getting bored.

I assume Food Fight is the game in question....
 
FF

You guys are funny...who would collect Final Fury or Final Fight. Blech! Food Fight, baby. The cab with arguably the best sideart of all classic cabs and the first to have "instant replay". I'll follow up with pics later.
 
Every time I have no money it seems to rain games, then the second I get cash to spend on them it dries up.. For the last fews years it's been pretty dry in Utah when I had money, now I have no cash and there are deals posting every day. Luckily there are other KLOVers that are reaping the benefits.
 
Your cup runith over, my cup has a big hole in the bottom. Great scores! In Souther Cali it seems as if there are quite a few collectors that snatch all the great deals from CL before I have a chance. I just can't live by my computer or phone. One day something will fall into my lap. Hope the luck continues!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Sounds like some good deals..
Your lucky to find one that is complete...because finding the complete joystick is a bitch...

There are a few parts that have been reproduced and some nos out there..but the entire thing is not going to be easy to locate and likely not cheap unless you already had some you hoarded a while back ...

The bezel and marquee are very hard to find also....I've owned three complete foodfights...and the one that was complete minus the joystick took me months of constant searching to find one joystick...it wasn't cheap and then on top of the price I had to basically rebuild it when I got it..the rubber bellow was shot...and so were the potentiometers too along with the linkage:mad:

I wish you all the luck in restoring all three...:D
 
What? I thought everyone thought Craigslist sucks and it's full of crap all the time? How can this thread be?
 
And I happen to have a FF glass bezel in nice shape I might be persuaded to sell/trade.

Me too, and I'm a lot closer to Michgan if he wants to pick it up so it won't get destroyed in shipping.
