I find that odd how they repainted the sides, made a lot of changes, then didn't repaint the metal trim piece front and center or replace the marquee light.
Anyway depending your area, yeah, 200-250 max. That's more than fair. If he doesn't sell it for that, then he doesn't want to really sell it.
You can spruce up that monitor along with some detail work and make that cab look very presentable. It won't be mint, but it could be real nice.

Firstly, get rid of the wife, move arcade machines into the house, problem solved.
If the sound of a whip in the far off distance won't leave you, then do what Ian said and get a pole barn.

I'm going to agree with John here and say I have also had good luck with the soldapullt, with the following qualification.
For through hole lead based soldering those things work just fine. You get into the more modern stuff with their lead free solder and surface mount components and de-soldering gets a bit more fiddly with that tool.

Is $2,200 for a F14 Tomcat a good ? I have been told this is a hard table and plays real fast. But the 3 Red, White and Blue strobes on the top seem really fun to have. IMO - that's too much. Not a super desirable game. It's an iconic game but I don't think it's high on a lot of people's want lists. I'd feel better around $1,500 or less. What if it was restored by Todd Tuckey and Pals? heh heh

Arcade and Pinball Discussions / General Arcade and Video Game Discussions / Golden Tee 2k - What do?
|

I am supposed to be getting an original Golden Tee 2k pretty soon, probably this week or next. Free to me. The monitor needs rebuilt and the trackball replaced. Other than that, it works and still has the original dollar bill acceptor. It has not been upgraded.
My big question is what should I do with it?
Should I use it as trade bait?
How much would it be worth if I replaced the trackball and fixed the monitor? Are there any upgrades for it that would enhance its potential value?
Should I keep it and make it into a mame cab since I have virtually no space for an arcade?
I'm open to suggestions and opinions.
