RARE 1993 Konami MARTIAL CHAMPION arcade game dedicated cabinet - FREE SHIPPING

Description

WORKING CONDITION:
This game is in perfect condition electronically.  It is working perfectly - bright, sharp, gorgeous picture on the Wells gardner 7000 series 25" monitor which I rebuilt.  It is running on all original hardware.
The controls are all perfect because I replaced them with new happ ultimate buttons and joysticks. The marquee light has a new fluorescent bulb and starter. The coin slots have new LED lamps. The game has working quarter mechs, new locks, and a nice original manual.
The game has good working sound too (some people ask about this).
This is an extremely rare game - at least in the original dedicated cabinet.  I haven't seen one for probably 25 years.  It wasn't a huge earner and was quickly converted by operators to another game - plus they didn't manufacture very many of them to begin with.  The likelihood of one surviving unmolested until 2021 is extremely small.  So this is probably one of the few left.
You have to love the sideart on this game.  I mean take a close look at the "model" they hired to pose for this artwork.  She is supposed to be a Martial Arts Champion.  How does she look to you?  Intimidating?  Tough?  My daughters are both near black belts.  This looks like one of the competitors they might meet at a Taekwondo tournament in central IL.
PHYSICAL CONDITION and RATINGS:
This game is in very good condition. It is super clean inside and out.  The control panel is near perfect condition, as is the monitor bezel.  The marquee is near perfect but has a little fading / yellowing on the back side just from the heat of the bulb over the years.  Still looks great though.
The coin doors are like new. It has the original back door.
The artwork looks very good but there are a few flaws and worn spots on it.   I have installed new T-molding.
The locks are new.  This is getting to be a very very hard game to find, and especially in this condition in an original cabinet.
If you need any more pictures or have any questions, please let me know - I'm happy to answer.

NOTE:
Unlike some other sellers on eBay, the game I am selling is the actual game pictured and described above.  Somehow, other sellers seem to think a single stock photo from google and a generic description like "great condition, but may have some scratches and blemishes" is good enough. They have some beat up junker in the warehouse and don't even get it ready to sell until it sells.
Not here at VintageVideogames.Arcadia.  We don't list the game until it is completely through the restoration/refurbishment and is ready to ship out.  And we take pictures of the exact game that we are selling. We want you to know exactly what you are buying.
LOCATION:
This game is located in sunny, beautiful downtown McLean, IL 61754.  That's right...in the heart of Classic Arcade World where Arcadia: America's Playable Arcade Museum, Pinball Paradise, and Hotel Arcadia are located!  I suggest buying this game and then making its pickup a fun family road trip!  We have over 140 playable games and luxurious arcade-themed lodging options.  Contact me for more details or look for hotel Arcadia on airbnb.
SHIPPING:
Included in the price is FREE WHITE GLOVE SHIPPING from North American Van Lines.  They will bring it right inside your house (ground floor only).  This is for the 48 contiguous United States only.  If you want this shipped internationally, it will cost extra and we will have to discuss it and get a shipping quote before you pull the trigger.
Regarding shipping time, North American Van Lines only picks up from my location once a week.  So shipping will probably take between 7 and 14 days depending on where you are in the country.  In some rare cases possibly longer.
For what it's worth, I have been collecting (hoarding) games for over 30 years and selling them on eBay since about 1997. I have probably shipped two thousand games (many but not all on eBay), from individual games to full containers.  You won't find a more reputable seller...check my feedback.  Unfortunately, I cannot provide a money-back guarantee on this just because a lot can happen in shipping.  What I CAN guarantee is that if you pick the game up, or if not when the game leaves my hands, it will be exactly as described and photoed above.  And in 30 years of selling, I have never left anyone in the lurch or ripped anyone off.  I'm a fair, honest guy...ask anyone.
