Title: Should I buy this? Post by: drb27 on May 28, 2015, 06:31:53 am So, I've been thinking about buying my first machine as a project for a while now, and I've found a non-working Spy Hunter.
(http://i.imgur.com/4bLa0La.jpg) Has anyone on here fixed up a Spy Hunter? Is it a good game to own? Should I do it? Share your experiences and advice! Finally, if I do buy it, I need to pay someone to move it 20 miles into Boston. Any recommendations for a local moving service? Thanks! David Title: Re: Should I buy this?

If you get lucky, it will be an easy fix (battery acid damage on the PS) or a blown fuse. If you unlucky, it could be toasted boardset, bad power supply, and/or blown monitor. So as a first game, it might be a poor choice. but if its a game you must have, when its fully working, its worth about $500-$800 game. Depending on your repair skill level, your going to put in anywhere from $40-$400+ just to get it running. 20 miles away only? Drive your truck/van over there and pick it up! Plus, I wouldn't wait too long on this, Spy Hunter's tend to sell quite quickly. Title: Re: Should I buy this? Post by: yocke on May 28, 2015, 07:16:34 am I think its a catch! Just get it!! It worth more if you clean it up, do a cap kit and just make it glow!!

Those MCR style boardsets are a whore to work on.. the power supplies suck really bad . Somebody offered me a Spy Hunter fully working for my kickman, I passed. If I ever get another MCR game its gonna be a TRON . |
