Got a call last week from some folks wanting to sell a Pacman and Mortal Kombat. They were not arcade people, but said that they think the games were working. It was only 10 minutes away, so I called up another local collector and we went into to see them...
Oh...
My....
God...
I honestly think these were the worst arcade games I have EVER seen firsthand. The lady was nice enough, but clearly didn't know anything about these.
Turns out the Pac was a dedicated Ms. Pacman, and the MK was a dynamo Konversion. Looked like they had been in several floods over the years, dry, rinse, and repeat. Insides filled with life-shortening molds of many unusual colors. No metal part was salvageable. I pulled the 2 Midway plastic backdoor handles off for my Midway Blueprint cab, gave the lady a few bucks for them, and we got the hell out of there!
Pictures below. Don't look at them if you've just eaten!
