Full Sized Frogger Anyone?

Here’s the email from the owner:
——————————————–

I took a look on ebay and other sites to get some pricing information.  Original Frogger cabinets range from $600 to $1600 from poor condition to fully restored condition. I think that $800 is a fair price. The machine is a 8-9 on a 10 point scale and is fully functional.

I have gone through the entire unit, cleaned it, done maintenance and replaced the control panel with a new one. The buttons and joystick work well and have a great feel. The machine is an original Sega/Gremlin Frogger cabinet and has the Sega seal and serial number. The only item to mention on the ‘to do’ list is the monitor could use a capacitor kit. I have a kit for this machine and I will include the kit with the purchase. Contact me with any questions. thanks -Greg

Cabinet photo is not actual.  I don’t know if it has side art or not.  So what I hear is, great cabinet, so-so monitor with a cap-kit and the need to move it.

Commander Tim or I can give you the contact info if you’re interested in haggling or getting photos of the machine.

    Got the photos of the actual cab. I’ve never seen this in person, but the seller is a reliable source, so I don’t expect any fibbing, but I ain’t vouching ;-).

    We need to have a Frogger Tourney at the party.

    I wonder if I should go get the Frogger Cocktail machine from the cabin…

    It would be cool to have there. I might even be talked into going up for it. We could stay for a day and come back… Or have a Guys Night Road Trip!

    P.S. Frogger has an ugly cabinet.

    Frogger plays well on Mame, if you can’t make the trip.

    I’m trying to move out of my current place… buying full-size cabinets is a bad idea for me right now. I would like to buy a cocktail though. I need a coffee table for the basement. Any nice looking cocktail games that you guys can recommend?

    Midway cabinets look the nicest, IMO. They art least have wood grain and a good control setup. The cabinets that don’t look good: Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Dig Dug… They have metal legs, usually rusty not so nice.
