Frogger

[PPA-AG]

Looking for some guidance regarding an original Frogger arcade. I have a friend that has offered to let it go. The cabinet would need to be fixed up a bit and new decals. I am more of a Pinball person and since i build my own Multicade which has many games, the Frogger would not something I would necessarily want to keep. I'd expect to sell it but not sure what the purchase price would be nor the sell (assume very good condition on the way out). I've been told don't ever convert it to a multicade as you would be better to sell as a stand alone cabinet.
I would very much appreciate anyone's input to this.

Thank you

NEVER convert to a multicade. The originals are too hard to come by as it is.

I paid $400 USD for mine about five years ago. It worked, but it was beat and needed a lot of cabinet work, new artwork, etc. Not sure what I'd sell it for now that it's restored. Here are some ads to give you guidance

Thank you very much! Do people want the woodgrain look for the side art to replicate the original because I've seen other styles of side art and there is no woodgrain.
