Arcade consoles

[jasmine64]

Let me know what you have Josh, I'm only 100 miles from you.

I'm still looking for a Centipede cocktail table or upright.
Plus a Space mission pinball.

May be in Memphis soon doing some last minute shopping
and going by our families dealership to check out a truck for hubby.

Thats cool. What dealership does the family own? I am leaving for Ohio this weekend but I will be back sunday or monday. Hopefully he will have a list put together then.

Responding to two part of this thread:

The only console I collect is the Atari 2600.  I have just under 300 different games for it (just snagged a few more carts the other day).

Josh - let me know if the person has any decent Rock-Ola 500 series wallboxes (160 selection) like this:

Ms Pacman Looks the "Biz". I'd think about installing MAME in one of those just to give you the huge choice of games. I used to have a generic upright running over 5,000 games. All looked just as they did when I played them for real in the 1980's. But a dedicated cabinet, that would really set it off.

Good Luck.

Never mame a classic game.  The arcade collectors will hunt you down and scalp you(rightly so)
Bubba find youself a decent  cheap Dynamo cabinet and mame it out, it will be tons cheaper then building one.  A great website to do some reading on is Build your own arcade controls or byoac.  Tons of great FAQ's and there forums are full of helpful people that are a wealth of information.

Josh,  I'm looking for nice Mr. Do or Pengo upright if he has any.

Glassbottlesrule--- Thanks for the info.. I know there is no replacement for an original machine, but real estate is an issue right now... As it is, I found this site after I acquired one old Vendo 83, and 2 weeks later I own 3 machines... Now you just gave me a link to a cool arcade site .. My wife is gonna take all my computers away

Well i just hit the arcade game motherload. I found a guy in Memphis that has more arcade games and 60's and 70's jukeboxes than you can believe. He is wanting to retire this year and sell off everything he has. I just bought a good origional Ms Pacman upright and a generic space Invaders like Cocktail table for $600. This guy has everything. He also gave me an origional Ford Gumball machine stand. He also has a ton of those touch screen games you see at bars that sit on the bar. Everything is priced really well. If anyone wants anything let me know.

Josh,
Do you still have a close relationship with this guy?
I may be interested in some of the bar-top touchscreen games (MegaTouch, etc.). Let me know when you have the chance.
