  1. Not sure, I remember converting DK cocktail to 39 in 1 ( thats what people wanted to buy), Ivan stewart (upgraded to track pak), Centipede i gutted (too much damage to box), an OutRunners (gutted - too heavy - box was 800lbs). Those were the ones I can remember trying to sell on EBAY. People did buy the steering wheels w/feedback motors, both 25" monitors, and shifters.

    Around that time, I paid $30 for a working Ivan Stewart Pcb with the Track Pak already stacked on main board off of EBAY.

    You got me wondering about the time though I Built an arcade in the basement for the kids (they were about 8 & 10) so I'm gonna say year +/- 1998. Back then I could pick up an arcade (good shape) complete +/- $100. Of course, the monitor always needed fixed.

    Anyways, your right about 15yrs. But +/-25 yrs. ago, nobody bought my working pcbs (100% feedback) for $20+ shipping on Ebay. 

    Not sure if you know Coin op warehouse (Lloyd), but I been dealing with him for 25 yrs. Coinop warehouse is only 5 miles from my house. He had his 3 last auctions in the last couple of weeks. I bought some projects off him. MR DO! cocktail, old shuffle bowl, 3 Arachnid dartboards (monitors need fixed), Merit Spectrum dartboard, 2 internet jukeboxes, various marquees, signs, and of course this filing cabinet with manuals. Small world, LLoyd is now opening a Retro game store here in town. 

    His son Ben has his own coinop warehouse here in Hagerstown, MD too. Not sure what his store name is though. I would bet he has pcbs lying around for sale. 

     

    Lol, the ending to this book i wrote is - 15yrs ago - Kept 2 arcades + sold 3 pinball machines + sold 6 working arcades. Made a killing. I took the $ to finish my NES and SEGA collection.

    Moral of the story--- I'm OLD and can't type fast.  LOL

  2. I'll go through the manuals and get the names of machines. Prices would be about $12 + ship on Videogamesage. Thinking $18 + ship on Ebay. I bought and sold on here before but i dont see my feedback anymore. I was trying to sale game pcbs 15 yrs ago. Nobody wanted them on EBAY for $20. I threw them away. I didnt know people would collect them or they would be so valuable. Oh Well.

      

  3. Hi 

     I was wondering if any collectors would be interested in these coin op manuals? I got about 50-75 different titles. Manufacturers - Midway, Williams, Nintendo, Atari, SEGA, etc...

     I'm going to post them on EBAY but thought some of you might want them.

    I bought a filing cabinet from coin op vendor auction. The Cabinet had a ton of Pinball and Jukebox manuals/schematics also.  

    I am wondering about game marquees for this site. I got a ton of those too.

      Anyways Thanks

              Jimmy

    My Secret Santa was Joseph from San Antonio . I don't know his Username on Video game sage. Many thanks to him for the Sega retros Pulseman and Alien Soldier . He also gave me Sega Ali Boxing (CIB) and Pitfall ( CIB ). 

    This Secret Santa is a blast. Thank you , Captain.

    I had fun making Joe a 2nd gift that will arrive tomorrow. Powder coating made it late . Sorry.

    Merry Secret Santa to all.  Jimmy
