I found one (Baby pac-man pinball/arcade machine) by accident last week and managed to find the owner of the place its at. It does not work, but it is complete and the insides are very nice. Basically it is a 6 out of 10 cosmetically and complete throughout. I am fairly confident the only thing wrong with it is the corrosion I saw on the board (might be battery acid). Anyway, I was hoping some of you could tell me what I should pay for it. He wants $350. I am inclined to pay it, but any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you are confident you can fix it, I'd say it's probably worth it. A playfield alone sold for $125 on eBay, while a full working cab went for $650. Another working one *did* sell for about $350, but still, for something like this my guess is that prices fluctuate based on timing, location and circumstance. If anything, it wouldn't hurt to see how much lower he will go!

Check for battery acid damage, which it most certainly will have, which is why it doesn't work. Talk him down and then buy it.

The guy is a little flaky, but I think I am going to get it within the next week. He wants me to do some work on a pin. and if that goes good I get the Baby Pac without spending a dime. I will upload pics. soon..... I hope.

350 is cheap. I never really cared for the game personally but if it's something you really want that is a great price.
