I stumbled upon John's Arcade a couple of months ago when I was looking to recap my MAME monitor. That led me to the Arcade Outsiders Podcast, and thanks to you guys, I have caught the bug and started collecting. I saw a great  on Craigslist for a  , a Super Pacman, and a Space Invaders for $450 for the lot. When I talked with the seller he said that none of them work. I was excited when I saw that the was in great shape. After 3 trips during a snowstorm yesterday I made it back and tried them out. The fired right up but I think the monitor needs a recap kit. The Super Pacman has a rom error and the Space Invaders power button is busted. I will have to drill the lock on that one and take a look. In a few days I will be picking up a Gladiators Pinball from a guy off of KLOV. And so it begins.     |

Dude, that's a score right there! GREAT WORK. On the monitor (20EZ), there is a horizontal hold pot in the center of the monitor chassis. Try turning that to fix the picture. |

Great Score! When I got my first Sanyo EZ20 (monitor in donkey kong), it had jail bars on the screen. I put a cap kit in it, and it was great! I would suggest buying a cap kit from Bob Roberts. Link to his site: http://www.therealbobroberts.net/He's got some great info on his site! |

Or reeeeally beat up.. I found one for 350. Needs everything. board works though. And you put an xbox in it? ;) HAR HAR ...... Id rather just pay a grand for a mint working donkey kong. I know those go for a pretty penny in prestine condition but I would (for only three machines pac man,tempest and DK) pay up to a grand. The problem is nobody has anything like that on the CS near me. id have to drive to NJ or somewhere to get one. Now if I was buying say the DK for an xbox 6000 in 1.. it would have to be priced as an empty cab like 75 or lower. even so.... that thing was water damaged real bad. The craigslist here kinda sucks.. its the same shitty machines over and over. nothing really special listed for a long time. |

That DK needs a capkit indeed
The line on the left side is caused by a bad cap (C407 - 10 μf 160v to be precise) but its easier to cap it complete while the chassis is out anyway ;)
