Anyone else chasing the sketchy bay area Terminator 2 pin?

So an ad popped up weeks ago about a T2 pin in decent condition for $900. Sounds too good to be true but I gamely contact the people. Don't hear anything for ages.

Finally the "wife" e-mails me and tells me her husband is selling it and she doesn't know if it's still available or not but that she knows they got a ton of interest. So I respond back that if it turns out it's still available to let me know.

Then today I get an e-mail with a long detailed description of the game along with a ton of pics. Still asking $900. Cash only. Call the phone number to arrange it.

So I call the number and get a robot voice-mail and leave a message. And respond back via e-mail as well. And then I Google the phone number and it's some kind of Studio in Oakland....and it's also a bunch of other things.

I called the number back moments later and the VM box is full.

Anyone else having fun with this one?
 
Guy contacted me. I'm heading over tomorrow. If I'm not on in the next few days I'm probably dead.
 
Turned out to be a legit offer after all. I have it home now. Looks to be in decent condition overall. Has lock-bar holes in the front so it's been on location at some point. But the playfield looks pretty darn clean and the cabinet isn't bad overall either. The DMD bottom third or so is out. Have no keys to open the cabinet with so I'll have to drill the lock or something. Some pretty crummy looking drippy old batteries that i need to pull right away but the sound a video and game play all seem to work fine other than some gadgets needing some work. I'm thinking I did ok for $900. We'll see how much it costs to get everything working 100% though....

Turned out to be a super nice guy. Nice neighborhood in Berkeley.
 
Sounds like a good deal to me. T2 is a fun pin and goes for decent money all spruced up.
 
Here's some pics of the game. I'm not that familiar with it. Anything much look to be missing on the playfield?

a little fading on the right side red, and missing the plastic under the bottom pop bumper, but all the toys are there. Nice catch, got a nice one
