I had 3 of these about 10 years ago. I bought them off of a guy that collected video arcades. He sold them to me for $75 each. I set one up and played it for a bit and then turned around and sold the 3 for $275 each. I felt like a genius at the time but have been kicking myself ever since. 
A very fun game.
Quoted from HisboyElroy:Over the holidays we had my kids & their (5) cousins over. World Cup got 95% of the play of all the games in our basement. They played for hours, I bet they racked-up at least 100 games during the visit.
One of my reproduction resin players bit the dust, the one without the paperclip "rebar". The resin with the paperclip inserted has been holding-up just fine.
One other casualty, one of the fluorescent tube lights died. I was going to replace it, looks to be a 35" tube. But I see they have LED fluorescent tubes that you can order. This seems like the way to go... Has anybody made this switch? Did you remove the old ballast inside the game when you switched to LED? Looking for recommendations from those who have already done the research if you don't mind sharing. Thanks in advance!

They make different LED replacements. One type can run with the original ballast and one will require it to be removed/bypassed. I learned this while converting an old beer sign that was missing the ballast. I ordered the ballast style the first time and smoked the bulb. Just make sure you read the specs closely when you order.
