Go 400 if the rest of the machine is all there and order a cap kit and flyback.
that comes out to about 450 when said and done.

Popeye's are probably $350+ working and nice. Maybe a hair more. They are hard to sell. Popeye gets no respect.

It's possible it was a at one point. You can usually tell by the monitor holes in the side of the cabinet.

If not, Would need to replace the top table board to switch from Horizontal to vertical. Popeye is a great game, I would leave it and find a DK cab. I have a Junior cocktail, mint shape in Tulsa that I would get rid of.
