Well,was out with my cousin today in the Salt Lake City area to go look at a Raiden II in a pacman cabinet my cousin was interested in,i went to look at the ad for it in the clasifieds.Did a quick search for key word "Arcade".First ad to pop up much to my surprise was a dedicated Star Wars that wasnt there just a few minutes before.I wasnt looking for a game at all but there it was staring at me.Decided to call the guy.I asked him what kind of monitor it had in it,the guy knew nothing about it.I asked him if he could look in the back of it and describe what it looks like.He said it would take 10 minutes to go to the place where he had it and check,and he would call me back.At this point i didnt want to spend any money but was curious to see what kind of monitor it had in it.I hung up with the guy and started thinking that i should just get it wether or not because the guy said it was in nice shape and the pic looked pretty good as well.And the price was right.So i quickly called him back and told him ill buy it,i asked him to hold onto it and that i was very serious in getting it but would not be there for roughly 2 hours.He said he would.After about an hour and a half i called the guy to let him know that i had not forgot about him.He said that he has had a bunch of calls on the game after i had called and couldnt belive how popular the game was.He had no idea that there would be this kind of interest in the game.At this point i decided it was time to drop my other things i was doing and get the damn thing before he changed his mind or others would make a counter offer.Went and picked it up and looked inside and it had the original Amplifone monitor in it!!It was missing the deflection board but i had one at home.This game looks like it had never been in an arcade and it was real nice!!Got it home and turned it on without the monitor plugged in and there is no power getting to the board.Ill get on that tomorrow and get it working.Shouldnt be that bad of a problem fixing it.I tested the board set in my other star wars i have in a return of the jedi cab and the board set works perfect!!.Here are some pics.Monitor has little burn in but you can tell that it has never been removed from the cabinet.

I knew I should have driven up there instead of flown! RobotronGuy had to show it off right after the pick-up - it's definitely in good shape and a nice score.

Hey Jake, I forgot you were in SLC now. We'll have to get together the next time I'm in town so I can play some Juno First!

Awesome catch!

What did pay for it (if you don't mind me asking)...

This one is WAY TOO NICE to turn into a chair!!!

Best of luck with your new game!

I was with RobotronGuy when we got the game. I know we all have a problem and when you are with the "enablers" of this addiction, you always end up with a game you always wanted.

All I could tell him was you need to get it, over and over agian. If he didn't buy it I would.....this was to enough push him into making the right decision....LOL...I even mentioned it probably has an amp monitor in it and he said "ya right"....well as it turned out it did....WOW.....what a find and I had the chance to actually touch it and haul it home.....laughing all the way.....Weeee! Weeee! Weeee!
