Track and Field question
« on: September 07, 2009, 02:43:11 PM »
I am brand new to this site and vintage arcade games. I recently acquired a Track and Field game. I was wondering if I should try and restore it or just maybe sell it as is?

first of all: W-E-L-C-O-M-E to bruno's site, imho one of the best AND friendliest there is  :-*

congratulations on your track & field cabinet - she's a beauty! if i were you, i'd restore it (which of course means new sideart, new overlay, ...), but if you decide to sell it ...  8)
all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!
