Wow! Congratulation on the pickup. The woodgrain and the art on the control panel looks to be in good condition. Glad that the board did not have issues and that the monitor simply needed to be dialed in.
This is really sad news. Ken had a wealth of knowledge for sure and he could be found sharing it in many of those posts here at KLOV (as well as other forums). RIP Ken. He will be missed.
Wow, I would really like to bite on this one! I just have too many projects right now and about at my limit with games in the garage. This is a great deal for someone that knows how to do the board work.

Star Wars would have also be in the same category as Tempest. Agreed that most vectors underperformed since the monitors were problems for the operators.

I was going to be heading down to Sacramento this weekend for that closeout. Glad I did not do the 2 hour drive. There was a Dig Dug that I was going to bite on for $300 without monitor and CP. Enigma, I'm glad you were able to go home without being empty handed.
Probably the best definition would be someone who will add value to the game - like cleaning it up and/or fixing some or all of the problems before flipping it. :):)
