Man I love your Arcades where are you finding them from overtime I look for them on eBay they are WAY overpriced... are you finding better deals or someone local? I want like 2-3 machines myself!

There are lots of auctions around where you can get them. A friend of mine is a collector and got all of his that way for very reasonable prices. He even has a couple of rarities (Nintendo Playchoice 10 and Neo Geo MVS) that he got great deals on.

I've had all of mine with exception of the dart board and T2 for about 15 years. The prices of some of them are crazy and stay steady or go up depending on the game, condition, whether it's an original dedicated cabinet, etc. I've seen MK4 sell anywhere from 900-2,500 and High Speed II pinball from 1,500-2,500.

The 60-1 stand ups can be had for $600 and less. Depending on the cabinet you want it in. Mint 80's pac man will be more than a galaga. Mines a galaga. Paid $400. Came with a new lcd screen and everything to switch it to the included tube monitor.

Golden Tee was $250

Cruising usa was $250.

Just have to watch craigslist and be fast with cash.

There's a police trainer I got my eye on and a Simpsons pinball

Is it the MOCAP (motion capture) police trainer? They have MOCAP boxing as well, both are a lot of fun.

Yea. It's pretty cool. I'm wondering about repairs if they are ever needed

The repairs aren't too bad, most of the parts are still widely available. The parts that wear most are the micro switches in the buttons and joysticks and the monitors...all are pretty cheap and easy to obtain. Most standup cabs use a 25" CRT, they usually run about $50 to $75 for a new one, or you could harvest one from an old TV on CL.

Prices have dropped huge, I used to get 2500.00 for a golden tee couldn't finish them fast enough, now 250-500, i used to but direct from the route operators and resell, there's still warehouses full of games around

The times sure have changed, haven't they? Remember when there was an arcade in just about every neighborhood? I can't even think where there are any traditional arcades aside Pinball Pete's. Dave & Busters, while they do have games, isn't like the arcades from back in the day. I remember the lines behind Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, when the people in line would put their quarters up at the bottom of the screen.

Addresses of these warehouses please! I'm always looking to add !

 

[Anthony]

For a normal arcade game I got a guy that will do house calls. Good prices too. But the police trainer is older and whatever they use for body movement, I'm guessing is hard to repair or find parts for?
