I almost rented a trailer, made a 5:30 hour one-way trip, with a $300 sight-unseen offer for these 4 games until he sent me pics. They are DKJR, Burgertime, Dig Dug and TRON. Phew, that was a close one. Needless to say Ill pass.... Anybody in San Benito County CA want to go save these?

Ugh, that TRON breaks my heart :(

Meh, its just a cocktail. Transfer the parts to another Midway CT and your golden, that is, of course, "if" most everything works. The others can probably be saved.

Probably worth his asking price, if complete, I'd haggle. But yeah, not worth a long haul.
 
after seeing the pictures i mighta offered 40 bucks apiece instead of the 75 he wanted
nice cocktails around here go for 7, 8, 9 hundred dollars easy
the tron fixed up mighta gotten you 2 grand these days
 
such a shame. i did not even know they made a tron cocktail model.good thing you got pics before you made the trip.
 
Looks like the roof leaked on all of them. Extensive water damage. Who knows how corroded the boards and connectors are.
 
Only reason to get them would be to part them out. Definitely would only offer the guy less..maybe even below half his asking.

**re-read post**

not worth a 5.5hr one way drive and rental expense. Let someone local go get them.

Yuck! Looks like alot of junk. Cocktails suck anyway.

For a long time I always wanted to own a cocktail machine, finally got one and boy I didn't like it one bit, such a waste of space.

As for the Tron cocktail, What's the point? The game istelf is pretty marginal but the upright cab makes up for the lacking gameplay, the cocktail is just a straight lose, lose......
 
I'd love to try a cocktail Tron some time, just to see how easy that button mounted in the joystick is to use...doesn't seem like it'd be very good for accuracy like the trigger stick is.
 
If it was local, they'd be worth buying. I don't have time for projects these days, but I don't think the price is bad. You would definitely have to transplant that Tron though. Those Midway cocktail don't weather well.
