Title: 1 and a half machines added to my collection
Post by: iankellogg on January 04, 2014, 04:46:49 pm
Well I got two more machines, making 3 machines total. Was a package deal on craigslist $200 for a punchout and a karate champ. Both were listed as non-working but I got the punchout working within minutes of coming home. The karate champ on the other hand..... It is in really really bad shape and I'm not sure what to do with it.

I got a few pictures of the punchout and only one of the karate champ. I'll add more to the album when I can. The punch out is in working condition but buttons are not original and the joystick is as loose as can be. The karate champ is completely wrecked. Monitor has bad burn in. cab is swollen and flakey. Unit is not working right now. Not sure what to do with it yet.

Wow that was a super deal. Punch-Outs can fetch $800+. GREAT JOB! Yeah, that Karate Champ looks really rough on the bottom!
