I drove to Jacksonville this afternoon for appeared to be a nice Ms Pac Man painted black. The seller said it started showing garbage on the screen, he was asking $200. I messaged him, sent him a $100 deposit last week with arrangements to pick it up today. When I got there, he had had it in the garage and he said it's nice but has damage to the top. That statement got my attention and I looked up and saw the tunnels. I was heart broken again. This game was ate up worse than anything I had ever seen. I told him straight up "I don't want it." he asked if I'd take it for parts for the $100 I already sent him. I said if I had more time, I'd strip the cab right there. I asked him how long he'd owned it and he said it's been in house for 10 years. I am hoping that I convinced him to have a termite inspection done as I loaded this piece up.

It was well worth the trip and the $100 though. It had a beautiful Kortek in it. All the parts are clean. I'll take this as a win even though I had to destroy the cab. I almost forgot to mention that it had about 20 nails cleverly covered up that helped it stay together. SMH.
