Title says it all. I would love an original Mario bros but I don't want a conversion one. If you have one in any condition let me know. Thanks

I got one and it's the Factory Original "Wide Body". All the standard cabinet body type were conversions so if you have a Mario Bros regular cabinet it was probably converted from a or DK Jr.

I don't want to get rid of mine because they are so rare, but if someone came along and wanted to trade it with another valuable arcade or pinball I'd probably bite, LOL.

Well I found one on the Cleveland craigslist for $800. It looks to be in pretty good condition. Do you think that's too much for one? I was going to try and talk him down or work a out a trade if possible

To me, this feels about right when buying.  $500 is ok if it's nice. $800 feels like too much.

I think I paid around $300 for mine but that was about seven years ago.
