Couldn't pass up the deal for the AD on Craigslist. Said it was working all the way. The picture on CL showed it working in place so I didnt bother checking when I picked it up.
The game is in really REALLY great shape. It has 19k clicks on the meter. CPO is not worn but it is cracked in all the right places plus the usual cig burns. Buttons are a bit grimy as expected. The inside is pristine.
I brought it straight to my office. I am going to keep it here for the time being. Gives my coworkers something to do.
The side art is ripped in a few places; nothing major. The cabinet is very solid.
I brought it here in the pouring rain. I wrapped it up with stretch wrap in place then loaded it up on my truck.
Of course, when I fired it up, id had no neck glow but I could hear the HV. After dealing with the bummed out co-workers, I drilled the locks to look for weed, sex toys, turtles, etc... What did I find? Nothing! Not even dust!
Fast Forward to today. I brought my tools with me to work and decided to work on the deflection board at lunch. I figured I would try the simple "fix" of reflowing the headers. Seems to have done the trick. The only thing left to do is replace the black light bulb (or starter), clean the buttons and possibly look for an NOS overlay or a repro.
