Did another decent trade today...Ms. Pac-Man Cabaret
On Thursday I sold my upright Asteroids project to a fellow KLOVer who was more interested in the restore than I was. Today, I took the money from that, as well as my Samsung Blu Ray Player with a handfull of movies and traded it for a working Ms. Pac-Man cabaret. I thought that was a decent trade. When I got there, however, the guy gave me a box of extra stuff. He didn't know if anything worked, but he said he didn't want it so I could have it. The box contained another Ms. Pac-Man PCB, a complete monitor chassis, 2 power supplies, and a NOS Ms. Pac-Man upright CPO.
When I pulled up I could hear the game playing and I thought, "Man they turned that thing up loud!" The guy saw me from the front porched and told me the game was out on the other side of the front porch under the awning. I asked if it had been there long and he told me that he just put it out there when I got off the phone with his wife to make loading it easier. A weight was lifted and I was on cloud 9 again.
The cab is in much better condition than I thought it would be in. I think the guy must have used a crappy cell phone camera for the picture because the marquee and front control panel art isn't as bad in real life. It has the holes from a security bar in front and an add-on pad lock style lock added to the back door.
My wife is at her baby shower and has the camera so I will post my pix when she gets back. The attached picture is from the craigslist ad.
