Dad said he made lots of money, that a machine pays for itself in a few weeks, I figure I could try to bring arcades back

Why don't you take up door to door milk delivery as well.

Then you could invest in a Newspaper, or try to bring back 8 track tapes.

Or maybe open an independent video store, stocking only VHS.

Dude, have a free gym with tons of treadmills and bikes right next door. Everyone will think your an idiot, but you'll walk away laughing with unlimited free power AHAAAHAAAAAABWAHAHAHAHABWAHHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

So your on the internet, but instead of searching (on the internet) for places that sell arcade machines your asking an img board where the probability of a random person here knowing the answer to your question is very low.

GET THEM OFF EBAY

I spent my teen years in and out of arcade rooms. I watched how they died as everyone and their mothers got themselves a PS ou any other entertainement system.

Do you live in some small midwest town or something?

Arcades are still making money.

Best idea: Find a movie theater with few or no arcade machines.

Arcade machines are expensive as fuck, upwards of $5000 per machine and apart from big Arcade brands like Timezone, the industry is pretty much dead outside Australia and Asia.

Make your own cabnets, buy shitty ex-government PC's, and a few old CRT TV's, and emulate all the games.

I dunno OP.

Every arcade in my city has been shut down.

Makes me feel sad, I know I'd go more often if they had good games. Right now the closest thing to an arcade is Chuck E Cheese, they have the TMNT Arcade game

Have a retro-themed arcade with pinball machines. Sure, they need to be maintained, unlike vidja games, but likewise, hardly anyone can play them all at home.

You'll need to sell overpriced snacks and drinks to make money.

Don't be an idiot. Arcades are dead. You can't bring it back simply by saying so. It just doesn't work that way.
