Question
I have had for several year a 2 player Cocktail Table Video Game (coin op) that is currently set up for Off The Wall.  The model number on the game says DJR1-18T-US. My brief research is showing this is a Donkey Kong product.  The game company I bought from years ago must have reconfigured it for Off the Wall as all of the graphics on the unit are for OTW.  They also game me 2 other interchangable games; Romstar "Twin Cobra"? by Taito and JAMMA ? by Data East.  How do I go about finding if there is a market value for this relic, and is there a place to find manuals for these games?  Thanks!

Answer
Gday Debbie,

Usually Market value you would have to look on somewhere like Ebay.

I can safely say any Table top game will demand alittle more than a standup arcade machine.  Typically you could expect to get at least $700 for a machine in good working condition.  Other PCB boards for machines can be bought and sold for anywhere from $10-$50 for more commonly produced ones (the ones you have listed) although harder to find do fetch several $100 dollars.

Manuals there are a number of places to look like ....
