Weird how things have worked out lately. I have been pretty quiet in the old hobby as of late (I picked up a super cheap UMK3 in January) but other than that havent been buying/playing/doing much of anything until recently. Sunday I was fortunate enough to pick up a Q*Bert cocktail, and then yesterday while looking at CL (which I never do anymore) a BEAUTIFUL Missile Command was listed for cheap. Got in contact with the seller, went out at lunch time and brought this bitch home -

I was really taken back by how nice the cabinet is. Its got some dings here and there, but for being OG its CLEAN. The monitor has issues (and he suggested I pay less than his asking price, ha) so I think that's what made the deal so sweet.

Nonetheless, I'm STOKED to have picked this thing up, and cant wait to get it up and running.

#FUCKYES
 
That is a great find Jow. I absolutely love the 'cold war' feel of that cab. I cannot wait to purchase it from you in 2 months or so. Enjoy it while you have it.
 
Nice get. It looks like the previous owner installed an overlay on the panel. How's the trackball?

The braze multi-kit effin ROCKS for this game. If you thought that MC was tough, Super Missile Attack is pure adrenaline insanity.
 
Wow!

Wow Mr. Senigaglia You have done quite well! That Missile Command is near perfect!

One question: Did they spell Missile right on the listing? I don't think I have ever seen anyone on Craig's List ever spell it right.
 
I don't ever want to hear you complain again or there will be a public stoning.. and I don't mean with weed..

Congrats on the grab. A-gain.

The price just tripled (would still be a great deal, ha).

The CPO is cracking at the bend, so maybe it is an overlay? Were the originals screened? Im not familiar with it. Once I get this bitch up and running I'll add the multi kit to further bump up Mr Phetishboy's price.

It was spelled right. This dude knows games and has a TON of them.
 
Awesome score, bro! Is that an original metal CP? Or is that an overlay? Does it work?

The high score save kit is pretty much a must if you ask me as it will save the top ten scores, adds the ok game super missile attack, and most importantly it eliminates the horrible eprom sockets from the PCB equation.

I love mine!

It works, but the G07 wont stop scrolling and has some fold at the bottom. Im gonna cap it and go from there. Ive read about G07 scrolling issues and Im hoping the cap kit fixes it.

Its an overlay on the CP (it has some cracks at the bend) so I guess its not all OG. Looks great though :rolleyes:
 
Ho-OH-Leee crap, Jow got a Missile Command!
