I own two arcade machines.. Both are Mortal Kombat 2 and Ultimate 3.. I bought them back in the 1990s for 1k each.. I also had a few 80s machines.. Teenage Mutant Nija Turtles, and Double Dragon and Shinobi.. All three of those sadly were in my garage at the time that had bars for windows with no glass pains, so the climate killed the machines and I ended up having to take them to the road when we had to move out.. I called a friend and told them to get the machines or they are going to be in the land fill..

What I've noticed with arcade machines especially from the 1980s, is alot of phosphor burn in the TV monitors.. Usually it was "Insert Coin" or the name of the game that was constantly flashing on the screen when the game was not being played...
