Can I Fit a Red Tent in my Trunk?

So it was you who got the red tent in the auction! I was the $425 bid that didn't quite make it toward the end of the auction, but I figured it would be best to not spend so much so close to Christmas and my wife's birthday happening this week. Congrats! I'm glad it went to a KLOVer.

Out of curiosity, what games were in it?

Probably just Vs.Urban Champion.
 
Some reason I think he might be heading to Milwaukee to pick this one up.. Any truth to that rumor? ;)

Haha yes. :) I hope I wasn't bidding aginst you sir!

I went and got a trailer and Im glad I did. I was hoping for some other scores but there was nothing worth pulling my wallet out for.

The thing is in great shape! The inside is unbelievably clean but its currently scrambled on one screen and not displaying anything on the other. Neck glow on both tubes. The tubes have no burn and the one thats scrambled is bright at least. The battery holder on the motherboard was empty and is also shot so thatll be the first thing I do.

Stoked!
 
I was going to bid on that but was out early. Figure that thing has been sitting for 20+ years, as the amusement park closed that long ago, it wouldn't work. Good to hear its still in decent shape.

Luckily its been in seemingly very dry storage on a pallet the entire time. They didnt have it out being played and it shows. The guy that owned it said hes had it "forever" and it sat in the warehouse the whole time hes had it. He didnt know when or where he got it and neither did the woman who seemingly was running the place. They said its sat for "20 or 30 years" poor red tent. It just wants to be played.

Sounds like something with the PCB. Mine has done that with problematic boards.
You should see if someone local to you will chime in and maybe bring a working board over thats populated on both sides. Throw it in that thing and see what happens.

BTW, cool pick up. I love how complete it is. I commented in the other forum about it having both coin mechs, manual, no missing buttons and what looks like original lock and key etc.
Looks like a pretty sweet.
Congrats.
