Found a Mario Brothers arcade- Should I buy it?

Hey I found this Mario Brothers arcade cabinet for $500. I really enjoy the old school Mario Brothers game but its not the Wide Body cabinet which is kind of disappointing. Is $500 still a good price for the DK conversion cabinet? Trying to figure out if Mario Bros. will go well with my Donkey Kong,...

Space Invaders Arcade monitor problem

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Cockta ... 35b4fa522d

I found this Space Invaders on Ebay but I don't know what the problem could be. The description says and the picture shows that the monitor just shows lines. Any ideas what the problem could be and if its an easy fix?

thx

Re: Ms. Pacman cocktail with "fast" chip. Can it be turned off?

Thanks for the help guys! I'll check out all the suggestions.

Hopefully I'll have that pacman cocktail soon and he's also going to sell me a Donkey Kong machine to add to my single neo geo mvs arcade!

Ms. Pacman cocktail with "fast" chip. Can it be turned off?

I"m looking to buy a Ms Pacman cocktail off of this guy but it has a chip that makes her go "fast". Anyone know if it can be turned off? I'd prefer the game without Pacman going really fast.

Thanks

Re: Super Mario Brothers Versus Arcade...worth getting?

Yeah, buying it does seem to be a the more expensive decision when I could just emulate or play a cartridge. It's the joy of owning the cabinet though. I do want to have a MAME cabinet but there's nothing quite like owning the genuine cabinet.

Super Mario Brothers Versus Arcade...worth getting?

Found a Super Mario Bros versus arcade cabinet. Never actually seen one for sale. Actually worth picking up? The levels are different a bit from the NES but nothing much different other then that right? So for 300 is it worth considering?

Do arcade machines need a surge protector?

Just got a 4 slot Neo Geo MVS and have been unplugging it every time I get done playing so I don't have to worry about power surges. Do I need a surge protector? Or am I just being overly cautious with the new addition to the video game library

thanks guys

Neo Geo Multicart - New Neo Geo owner need some advice

Hey guys Just got a 4 slot Neo Geo mvs. Pretty sweet. As far as Multicarts go, I like having original games but having the multicart seems like a smart move as well to save money. My question then is which cart to get and how? I found this website that has a 150 in 1 cart but I can't find any review...
