I started collecting consoles then went to arcade games. Its a blast but MUCH more maintenance. Check out my blog: http://www.jeffsgames.com |

@darko There are very few machines you can restore and make money on. They can be very expensive to bring back to original looking. I have about $400 into my Nintendo VS Red Tent and there's more to do! I'll never get my money out of it, but I plan on keeping too. @jeffsgames You wouldn't happen to have some spare Nintendo buttons that you'd sell would you? If so shoot me a PM! Thanks |

@varkias Sorry I don't have any right now. I have seen where people clean old ones up really nice if you have any. Check out the arcade-museum forums for more info. |

@darko Ya a restoration, to me, is all about the project. I wouldn't care if I never saw a profit on it, because I'd be doing it for myself. And more than likely keep it until I croak ha |
| darko:
Ha...I never said I was going to make a profit on the sale :) It is more about the project to me as well. My estimation on the project is $500 which would put me in at $600. I might sell it for $350 at best from what I've seen. Honestly, I'd probably look to trade it rather than sell it. |
