I recently got in touch with the general manager at a local arcade here
in Albuquerque, NM and asked him if he would be willing to sell an old
Donkey Kong upright they had (the blue cab). The game had been working
a few years back but ever since I started going back there, it had
always been turned off with a sign that said it was "out of order". The
machine looks to be in good shape with minor wear and tear. Some of the
t-molding is messed up toward the back corners and the CP looks kind of
dirty but nothing bad. I don't know what's wrong with the machine other
than the paper that said "out of order" although I have a feeling it
just needs a cap kit or something. Anyway, the guy got back in touch
with me and asked me to make an offer. What is this machine worth and
how much should I offer?
Thanks in advance,
Jared
