Nice :) Im getting ready to order my 4th cabinet. I particularly like your DigDug though, but im not as big into the older/truely classic arcade games too much (Expensive most of the time, plus I can only play em for so long)

Cool machines man!  Were these your favorite games from back in the day?

Thank you everybody!  I haven't found anything wrong with them so far, so score!  On to the questions...

Tynstar - No, that's my girlfriends mothers garage.  My girlfriend and I will be buying our first house in a month or two, so I'm just storing them there for now.  And yes, it is pretty damn messy.  It was like playing Tetris trying to get those in there.  |D

Den - I sure did go to the auction on Saturday.  ;)  Next time it's in town, you should come too.  I thought everything would be well out of my price range, but a lot of the machines went damn cheap.  The Dig Dug I got for $250 and the POW I got for $150.  I could have got a Circus for $45, but I had already spent too much at that point.  Besides the coin slot didn't work which meant that I couldn't play it until I fixed it, so I just let it go.

Speedy - These weren't exactly my favorites growing up, but they were right up there.  Before I went, I decided I wanted an older (pre-crash) machine and a neo-classic machine.  Dig Dug is in the Holy Trinity with Galaga and Pac-Man for me, and I've just always had a blast playing POW.  If they would have had both, I would have rather bought Galaga and Double Dragon, but the copies they did have there were either 100% non functional (Galaga) or just in generally bad shape (Double Dragon).

I may also be able to buy a Centipede stand up soon, so stay tuned.
