Well, I didn't believe it until I saw it, and pictures of the cabinet will be to come, but the gentleman won this in March 1983 from some "Halfsies" promotion/contest. It has the official letter from Sega in it still and the game was kept in a house and climate controlled storage for the past 28 years...
It really is new. All the documents/flyers were inside on the back door. The game has never been used because...he tried to play it and the monitor never came on.
Hence THESE pictures:

There are some weird blocks on the chassis that make me believe someone tried to repair this but he says he just didn't bother with it. The fan doesn't have a speck of dirt in it. The game is immaculate, no smashing, nothing. It really is brand freaking new. I could hear the game playing (as I think they had it on free play when it came to them)
If anyone has any idea what I should be checking on a G08 monitor like that please let me know....I know I don't want to burn down anything, but this thing is silly looking...I think only the estate sale Joust comes close to this thing in condition but it's definitely the first "non" use 30 year old machine I have seen.
