I took a trip down to a local distributor that was trying to clean shop a little and scored the following:

While there, I bumped into Alexcc picking up his goodies:

The Moon Patrol is physically in OK shape. The monitor seems to work, but the boards were shot. The power supply connector was burned through on the green wire. One of the transistor connector had burned up also and somebody had soldered it directly onto the pin. So I replaced the power boards and fixed the transformer connector and powered it up....only to find the game boards are shot too. *Sigh*

The monitor in the TimePilot looks like it may work, I haven't tried to plug it into anything yet, but it has neck glow. The TP board is fried as well, so this looks like a candidate for multicading. On the way home the bezel blew out and is gone, along with most of the cardboard shroud. I thought the control panel was locked down, but surprise, it was just jammed and somewhere on the road, the bezel bailed out. If anybody has a TimePilot and can PM me the measurements, I would appreciate it. It was just a hunk of amber plexi, but it would have saved tying to find the measurements at least :(.

I hope Alex has better luck with his games.

PS: That is not Alex in the picture.

Was great to see you Ken.
I ended picking up a Scramble, Gyruss, and a Wonder Boy in a converted Stern cabinet.
Only had time to mess with the Wonder Boy today (it was the easiest to get to).
It had a cut cord, fixed that, nothing. Changed the power supply and still nothing.
The wiring is so hacked up that I gave up on it for the day. Hopefully I'll have better luck with the other 2 but with this bunch probably not, they are complete at least.
Yeah that was my son in the pic, wish I was that skinny again :)
Here are some pics:

I'm still deciding. If I can get the vertical 4600 monitor to work in it without having to do a sheepload of woodworking to lower the monitor shelf, I'll make a Sinistar out of it.

Wow the moon patrol and gyruss look amazing! Like brand new!
Were they basement price bargains???

What else does he have???
 
The cabinets were in ok shape. The mp has some pretty big gashes in it. It also has some swelling of the top. The worst is that there is a blue paint stripe over the moon patrol logo on both sides.

Should I ask how cheap these were and whether he was selling them all? I'd make the drive for that Burgertime, Make Trax, and maybe even Dig Dug if it was worth it...
 
I paid $300 for my 3 cabinets which was a more than I wanted to pay for them but I been wanting a Gyruss and they worked with the price a little since I bought more than 1 game.
I think they wanted $175 for the BT, $100 for the Make Trax, not sure how much for the Dig Dug but I think in the $100-150 range.
 
BurgerTime - $175 (link)

They removed their other ads, but most of the other games were $125 each or so. I replied to one of their earlier ads for $100 each also. Based on the condition, I would say you are probably going to be just buying the cabinets if the two I bought are any indication. Anything else is a bonus.
