Scored an M82 from a guy who's dad helped design them.

Got a random offer last week to purchase an M82 from a non-collector. As I was told, his dad worked for the design company that made the kiosk for the M82. Something to that affect, I want to talk with the guy again to ask him some more questions. If the story is true, maybe interview him and the dad video style.



Anyways, the thing is in awesome shape and came filled with games. The only problem with it is that it's missing the screws that hold the face plate on. I could, I'm sure, take a guess at what they are and get some randoms at the hardware store, but was wondering if anyone else who has one knows what kind they are? 



Pics to follow if anyone's interested.

  • Sweet man! Finally joining the kiosk crew! Lets see it, and what games are in it?
  • Nice! Still one of those items I've always wanted.
  • Square head, probably metric, ~32 tpi, 1/8" thread diameter?

    Got it. When I moved it to take pics I see that it's the entire case that's missing screw to keep it on, both the metal shell and the faceplate.



    I almost PMed you because I figured if anyone was going to know...  Thanks, mang!

    Pic in the OP.



    I asked him if those were the original games it came with, and he said no, but he thought one or two of them were probably the ones that it originally came with. I looked through all the threads on M82, but didn't see anything that mentioned what they should be, if there was like a M series lineup. I'll probably go read through Bunny's thread on the M series stuff in a second to see what he says there.
  • Fantastic man, can't wait to see it up close.
  • The ones on the rest of the case have different heads, I think they are more generic.



    There weren't any original games, and those are just random ones thrown in. SMB3 won't even run right

    I was clueless as to value since I just kinda stumbled onto it. Charlie gave me an idea of worth and then what I should offer. You rock, Ship! Well worth the discount I gave you on those manuals! Seriously, I saw someone trying to sell just Overlord for $10, you son of a bitch!
