I've been pretty much not buying anything for a while now. Mainly because of life and partly because around here everybody thinks that there's gold in these games. So I happened to open up FB marketplace and first pic is of NBA Jam. I freaked out since I've been on the hunt for a little while. It was sitting at a bar somewhat locally. Guy said monitor went out and could never get it fixed. I took a quick look and agreed on the price. Noticed swelling on the bottom but really couldn't get a good look at it.

Got it home, quick examination...it needs lots of love. Massive water damage on the bottom, it's falling apart. Pulled the Polo chassis out and it's missing the remote board, crap. Obviously it's going to need new sideart. Four player CP is in decent shape and correct sticks are there. Somehow the coinbox at the bottom wasn't mounted, so that needs addressed. I'm a lot less excited about it but it's a pickup nonetheless.

very nice! NBA Jam is def high on my want list as well. IMO it's a great party game. multi-player, easy to learn, etc

start a restore thread!
 
Nice score! Just curious, was this the one in Lexington? I saw that as well. If so, I'm glad someone on KLOV picked it up! Looking forward to the restore thread.

That's the one. It's going to be a tough one but it'll get done. I'm scared to pull off the sideart to see how bad the water damage is.
 
Well this is funny... the water damage on this cab reminded me of my water damaged TMNT. So I went to that thread to look at some old pics for comparison, and then I saw this post from you:

Figured that was the same one. I just missed it. Congrats on the pickup. Those sticks are getting harder and harder to find.

lol, looks like we shop at the same places. ;)
