I checked this out today...
http://fortcollins.craigslist.org/vgm/2381672877.html
but passed on it. Am I crazy? I wasn't nearly as nice as was advertised, but it was in very, very good condition. The short in the power switch turned out to be a disconnected annode to the Electrohome G07 -- I fixed it for the guy after trying to low ball him on the non-working game strategy. What is something like this worth? It did have scratches, and dings, and there was white spraypaint on the top and back, some scraches and holes in the sideart, etc, etc. But, there were no broken corners, and the inside was immaculate. The joystick looked like a frogger joystick, but I've never seen a real Vanguard before.
I bought this instead...
Again, am I crazy? The coin door is bent, the sides are blue, the front is black, the wood has seen much better days, and it going to be a quite a project. BTW, I'm the one who started stripping the black paint off the front already... No, I don't really have that much time to burn, and I really thought that I would pass on the Pac, and buy the Vanguard.
What would you have done?
