Craigslist - NOT MINE

Quote
1981 original Donkey Kong antique arcade machine.

The machine needs some work in order to get it back operating, but all the original parts are here.

This price is extremely generous! Check pricing for this model on eBay and you'll find them for around $1,200.00!

We are located and the YMCA in Gainesville. We can help you load it as well if you all need any help.

Please contact with questions.

Somebody run up there with a trade game, and I'm sure you can easily bring it home.

I'm really surprised someone has not offered them another game years ago!  I had the Y's in the 80's and 90's, swapped them games all the time.  There's a Rampage in a boys club nearby, and it looks great, still running strong.  They didn't seem interested in parting with it, and I let it be.
