Delivery truck just showed up! What could it be?
They put it on a roller dolly for me so I could wheel it into the garage:
Unwrapped and ready for inspection:
It's in pretty solid shape. There is damage to one front corner but the rest looks great. And best of all, it works! Plugged it in and played a game but the screen was a bit dim.
Peering inside, I could see about an inch of dust on the monitor overlay. Opened it up and it looks really unscathed inside, just some cobwebs and dust to vacuum out. I cleaned off the monitor (which has the correct overlay on it) and now it looks much better.
The only thing missing: Someone has removed the fluorescent backdrop. This game is designed like Asteroids Deluxe, with a wrap-around backdrop, a blacklight and a mirror to superimpose everything. I still have the mirror and the blacklight (dead but there), just no backdrop. Seller didn't know the game was supposed to have one until I sent him a picture.
So, if anyone has a lead on one or any suggestion for where to look, please pm me. The game is still fun without it but it's not the full experience.
