Just curious as I'm sure these people got a number of calls. I was curious about the Xybots for $75, but I'm focusing on finishing a few other projects anyway and I figure someone would probably make an offer on the lot. There was a non-working Tempest listed for $300 also.
 
Suprise, suprise. :)

Shut up Dan!!! :D

Yes it's compete, in great shape and the boardset works.....I made them test it first. I'm pretty sure the cause of it's despise is BIG BLUE but haven't had a chance to verify that. The other cool thing is the coin counters only have 5000 credits on them each so it's a low mileage Tempest. I'll post pix tonight.

I did not get any of them. It was exciting to see what was going to get listed next as they did one after another. But in the end I did not bite at any of them. Once I knew Rob got the Tempest I said to myself "this party sucks". Just kidding, but I figured someone on here would get that one. I seem to be getting games in two's lately, so not quite Rob's 4 of a kind, but still a little weird.
 
Well I have some good news and bad about the Tempest....

So I decided to put the Tempest in my kitchen to work on it tonight and I ask my roommate to give me a hand moving it. So he agrees but did just order some Chinese food so he was kinda in a hurry. Now being it's hotter than hell out and Al had Chinese food ready for pickup I scampered off to the garage and quickly loaded up the Tempest. Now as I'm sprinting down the driveway with Tempest on the appliance dolly there lye a muth%# Fu*&in lime stone and pinned itself under the wheel causing a forward tip reaction!! Now I'm sure most of everybody here has encountered this mishap and can relate to this tragedy. Well the Tempest rocked forward and Al was prob 15 feet away so it was up to me to catch it. All I could do is keep it from falling on it's face but instead it fell on it's side with a violent boom! After about 10 min of "F" bombs and various wordings I would rather not repeat I picked it up to find the cab had come apart. That was the bad news obviously...the good news is the monitor did not crack in the dilemma and tested perfect along with the boardset. As I suspected it was just BIG BLUE but now I have some cabinetry work to do!!

1 Mrs. Pacman and 1 Street fighter stand up arcade games both make noise ,Mrs. Pacman works but needs a new monitor around $379 on line. A fun investment . First $100 takes both , not in perfect shape.
Please call Darryl (left out phone number)

Every week... more like every other day. I watched him do it with the 2 black hole pins the end of last week and beginning of this week as well. Oh well I guess when flipping pins and arcades is your life you can sit on craigslist every 5 minutes and jump on every deal right when it gets posted.

Back on the original topic, I was thinking about the XYBots cab as well. But then I rememberred just how heavy that cab is, and i decided it was in my better judgement not to go get it.
