Arcade games for the home?

Do you guys have a reliable source for the purchase of commerical pinball and video games?

I am looking to buy a new Donkey Kong machine made by Namco and a late model pinball machine, possibly Jurassic Park or Twilight Zone.

Thanks in advance.

Mike

Alternatively, look for a machine on location and check for a phone number of the operator and call them.

Both JP and TZ are old games these days, you'll have to find either in the secondary market. New pinball machines are made by Stern http://www.sternpinball.com

You buy new games from a distributor

Sounds great. I missed out on a mint Sega Rally,2 seater arcade machine on ebay,cause i was busy at work and forgot to re-bid on it. And ive been meaning to get the Terminator 2 pinball machine for the home. Them two machines would never collect dust around here.

 

ebay is one of the best places to find arcade machines these days.

be advised that the older games are not maintenance-free. their RAM chips are prone to fail, and the controllers often need attention.

T2 is a CLASSIC! maintenance on the pins is a serious investment of time.

anybody got a FUNHOUSE for sale? one of my all time faves.....

i never got into arcades/pins 'cuz the upkeep was too much work. made ferrari ownership seem like a breeze ;-) . i'm a HUGE Robotron 2084 (EUGENE JARVIS IS G-D) fan.

doody.

 

I used to work at a small food shop,and it had a few arcade machines there and a few pinball machines,and the guy was there every 2nd tinkering/repairing the machines. Alot of work involved. But he said if they get service all the time,they are not too bad.............but alot of people dont do that and let them slide. Then you are always tinkering with them?? I dunno?
