I ended up buying the games mentioned in the post below. I’m not 100% sure what to do with them yet, but the guy made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.

Most likely I’ll end up trying to sell the majority along with some other games I have. But a mixture might end up in an arcade once I recover my costs from this past trip.

So now, I own 30 arcade games (2 being redemption games) and a Pepsi machine. I think I could stand to sell a few.

Here is a list of my current games and their general condition:

Donkey Kong – Red cabinet, working.  I will NEVER part with this game.
Donkey Kong JR – Donkey Kong cabinet, working
Golden Tee 98 – Working
Burgertime – Working
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Board and power works but I need to build a control panel and find a 25″ monitor
Golden Tee 97 – No clue on the condition. It’s complete but the back of the monitor makes fireworks when it’s turned on.
Donkey Kong Jr – Cabinet but I have the parts to make it complete Possible multicade.
Super Mario Bros – Cabinet but I have the parts to make it complete. Needs a cap kit for the monitor. Possible multicade.
Donkey Kong Cabinet – Original DK cabinet that I painted red. I have a DK3 board I can put in it. Possible multicade.
Crown’s Gold – No working. The monitor keeps blowing fuses. I’ll probably give this one up soon.
Centipede – Cabinet is in rough shape but it is mostly working. I can either fix the power board or supply an external 12v dc I think it was.
Golden Tee 3D – Working but needs a cap kit installed which is on hand.
Kid Niki – It powers on but the monitor is in rough shape. Has Q*bert burn-in. The cabinet is a little rough so I’m not sure of its fate.
Haunted Castle – Working and is a really hard game. The cabinet is in kind of rough shape.
Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters – Working but monitor needs a cap kit. It’s a converted Sanyo 20EZV so I might try to find a Wells Garnder to replace it.
Mortal Kombat 3 – Working but needs a cap kit.
Virtual Fighter – I’m not sure I checked this on yet.
Fisherman’s Bait – Supposedly working, but I still need to check it.
Hammer Head – Redemption whack-a-mole type game. Mostly working but one shark head is busted, one does not score, and one does not pop up.
Wing Shooting Championship – Supposedly working, but I still need to check it.
Fighting Vipers – I’m not sure I checked this on yet.
Virtual Fighters 2 – Working but the screen is dim. I’m not sure if it needs a cap kit or the brightness turned up.
Area 51 Max Force – Appears to be working flawlessly.
Revolution X (1) – I can hear the game when it boots but the monitor is not working.
Suzuka 8 Hours 2 player – Supposedly works with steering problems. I haven’t checked yet.
Gun Blade – 50″ Monitor – Working but the screen is somewhat dim. I don’t know if there’s something wrong with it or if there was too much light in the room.
Revolution X (2)– Working. The screen appears a little wobbly at first but clears up. One of the guns doesn’t vibrate as much as it should.
Police Trainer – Appears to be working fine.
Star Wars – Sitdown Pod Racer – Like Revolution X (1) above, I can hear the game play but the monitor doesn’t come on.
Frantic Fred – Appears to be working OK. It is a redemption type video game. It might or might not remain as Frantic Fred. I could use the 19″ monitor for something else.
