Most games we receive have accumulated a great deal of dirt and grime over their 20 year or so history. As collectors we take great pride in refurbishing and cleaning up the arcade games that we sell and making them "gameroom ready". We carefully shop out each and every game before we make it available for sale. Every game that we sell has been thoroughly tested and is 100% working before it leaves our hands. (On occasion we will sell a game "as-is" and we will clearly state that in the description of the game.) Here's a list of things we typically do to each video game before it is sold:

• Clean the inside of each game.
• Thoroughly clean the outside of each game.
• Remove and clean the control panel. This includes cleaning the control panel and buttons, as well as all switches and controls. In many cases we'll replace buttons with new ones.
• Clean the monitor screen, monitor glass and marquee.
• Most games will have a new monitor installed. For games that don't come with a new monitor, we service all original video game monitors to improve the picture quality. This typically entails removing the monitor and replacing all suspect electric components with new ones. This is sometimes referred to as a "cap kit".
• Replace any non-working lights, including the coin door light bulbs, lights behind the marquee and any other lights on the game.
• Replace the locks on the coin door and coin door box.
  
• Ensure that all components (such as the game board, power supply and monitor) are properly mounted, wired correctly and working fine.
• Set the game on free play or install a "coin-up" switch. (If you need the coin mechansim to operate because this game will be set on pay mode, please tell us.)
• Finally and most importantly, we play test all of the games to ensure that everything is working correctly. Everything is tested including the credit switches, joysticks, buttons, game board and monitor.
