I want this Track & Field Cocktail, but it seems to be way over priced. Originally listed on craigslist for $2000, now at $1500. I think the problem the seller is having is that they bought it at Quarterarcade.com, which is notorious for selling way above market value. I’m sure it is in great condition. What do you think the value of this should be?

They have an arcade there. We must go! Here is a startribune vid on the place starring James Lileks. The closest thing to a web page I could find for Eclipse is this myspace page.

Now why didn’t I think of this?

The Midway 12 Game Tabletop Classic Arcade System is $199 on Sellout.Woot.com right now. These are the games it has:

Defender
Defender II
Bubbles
Splat
Sinistar
Rampage
Satans Hollow
Root Beer Tapper
Timber
Wizard of War
Roborton
Joust

Things are nearing completion now. Here’s the status of the machines:

Centipede – I just need to add a blue cardboard bezel behind the glass bezel and it will be 100% complete.
Mortal Kombat – The control panel still looks crappy but I don’t know if I’ll get around to cleaning it up any time soon. The cabinet still has Street Fighter side art and bezel. I’m not sure when or if I’ll get around to replacing them.
Relief Pitcher – 100% Complete.
Battle Arena Toshinden 2 – I need to cut the marquee down to size so it will fit in the cabinet. I also need a new monitor bezel and plexiglas.
MAME – I still need to wire up a kick harness for the 6 additional buttons. I also need a new bezel and some plexiglas. I’m also going to wire up a power button for the computer up on the top where the power switch would normally be for that cabinet.

I still have that other empty cabinet. If POI still wants to give me his old 19″ TV, I’ll start piecing that thing together as well for console games.

Oh yeah, there’s the pinball machine, too.

All of this stuff is in my garage. I’m sure my neighbors are convinced I’m insane. I need to do some more cleaning in the garage after which all of the machines will be lined up along the back wall. I should have that done this week. Then I’ll post pictures.
