How do you figure out fair prices for classic arcade machines, and what kind of leeway do you give in negotiations? How do you determine what you're willing to pay for a machine, and how does cosmetic damage, restoration status, and missing parts factor into that? And what about shipping parts and whole games? Do you know how to ship internationally, how to package things properly, tips for cheap shipping, and have you ever pallet-shipped whole games?
Welcome to The Coin Jam Podcast, a show about repairing, restoring, and collecting classic coin-operated amusement machines. We cover everything from #arcade video games and #pinball machines, to jukeboxes, redemption games, and more. If you've ever wanted to listen to a group of guys ramble on about multimeters, Molex connectors, desoldering tools, CRT monitor chassis, bondo, and blown fuses... then this is the podcast for you!
