Took a road trip today with a friend of mine today (how convenient that I have a hitch on my truck). He bought himself a Jungle Hunt and "non-working" Space Invaders Deluxe. The guy he was buying these from also had a Centipede with some board issues. Well, the Centipede is now in my basement waiting to take the space that my Asteroids is taking. I am dreading the fact that I now have to move the Asteroids out of my basement and in to the in-laws basement! 
I would rather move a few V63's, these Atari cabinets are 
heavy!

Thats great. the next thing you need is your own trailer. I got so tired of renting Uhauls. My little 4X8 trailer only cost $350 new. That is only a few trips in those Uhauls. Good luck with the games. if you need anything let me know. I know a guy that has a ton of parts.

I wish I had that "Jungle Hunt". Actually I wish it were the original version: "Jungle King". I loved that game back in the day and have always wanted one for my game room.
Now I am looking to buy: Dragon's Lair, Marble Madness, Spy Hunter, & Track & Field.
Great finds doc.

I almost bought a spy hunter at auction a few weeks ago. I love that game.

Yea, I was pricing trailers this past week. I checked on the one that you are talking about, but then I thought if I get one, it should be large enough for our tractor and leaf picker-upper. I then went in to sticker shock when I looked at the prices. The trailer rental was only $25, which I don't think is that bad.
I think it might be a Jungle King board in his game.
I might put some new side are on the Centipede before I put it in to use. I found some for $70.

Yeah,
Actually, I am currently already in talks with Matt and am just about to seal the deal.
It is in amazing condition. My boys will love it! It is such a unique game.
But thanks for the heads up.

What a great find, Myself I never got into the video
game deal, The only one I really liked was Pack Man, there
was one at the drive-in that worked at back in the early
80's and I would drop a few quarter in once in a while.
Did they make a table top one ?

I'm not sure about a Pac-Man tabletop, but they did make a Ms Pacman table top. I have a great original Ms Pac in original cabinet with great graphics... works great but with a little "Screen" Shake... anyone know what to attribute that to?? I am hoping it's not a Monitor going out, it doesn't look like fun to replace one of those..
Speaking of Video games, I picked up a unit a few months back with 133 games on it. It's a regular arcade style cabinet, brand new monitor, and has 133 original games on it.. everything from Ms Pac, Dig Dug, Galaga and all the Donkey Kongs. Anyone ever seen these before... and it wasn't as expensive as the "Multi-Arcade" units that sell for well over 3500 +....

Yep, they made a Pac-Man cocktail:
The image is not mine, it's from KLOV. I have a Ms. Pac-Man cocktail in my collection with a 96-in-1 Milti-Pac installed. Sure wish I had more room for more games and soda machines!
