System 80 may not be a good choice for a first machine. I suggest williams system 6/7 and classic Bally. Both are easy to work on, the Ballys are less problematic than the williams.
My Black Hole worked great when I first got it...for two days. I spent another couple months getting really familiar with the hardware 
Not that its necessarily bad, just many needed upgrades to make them more reliable.
Crabtowne USA is one of the last of the classic arcades around here. Its too bad they dont maintain their machines correctly. Some are ok but many are beat so bad they are not worth putting a quarter in. I played my first game of Bad Cats there and it inspired me to buy one. I would still like to have a BK2K...do they still have that? Its been a couple years since I have been there.
