Anyone interested in a sit down Hydro Thunder? It plays great. It has some rough parts on the cab, as it's been routed at some point, I'm sure. The monitor is very very new. It's a 27 inch tri sync... it's perfect. Actually, if anything, it's too big. lol. I'm debating selling it or parting it out. If anyone is interested in either option, drop me a line. I promise to not be too overpriced like everyone else. ;)
 
I am interested, what kind of price /trades are you interested in?
Would like to see pics of the rough areas
 
Price, I want to be as honest and fair as possible. I'm thinking $650. Trades? I'm getting into pinball big time, so pinball or a PERFECT Neo Geo cab. PERFECT. As people who know me in real life will tel you, I'm very very anal with my collection. Here's two pics from my collection that show the machine. I can get more shortly, but here's a teaser:

Monitor is PERFECT. about 40 hours of use on it. The problem? It's too big, lol. I had to modify the bezel to fit it, and never was able to bolt in the bottom two bolts to the frame (I guess I was lazy). Game plays great, and most people would say the shape is awesome, too. Well... being an anal jerk, I say no. ;)
 
Also, the only reason I am thinking of parting out is because moving this is going to be a real bitch. It's about 1/16th inches thinner than the door it went through when I got it a few years back. I told my friends (jokingly?) "well, this is being sold with the house!" lol
 
Okay, here are more pics. Easily the worst part of this is the back. It's looks awful as hell in photos. Doesn't look THAT bad in real life, but damn it... this pic makes it look blah. I debated touching it up at one point, but feared it would only make it look worse.

The other pics show the small nicks and what not in the art. This is as bad as it gets. The rest of it's in great shape.

Trade for gottlieb counterforce pinball with some rough spots, works 100%
 
Nah, I'd rather trade for money at the moment. ;) I'd clear the space to make room for one more machine. I decided, the worst part of this machine is the back graphic, which can be unscrewed and easily replaced. Or, hell... sand blasted and coated black. Or flipped around, for that matter. It's just nice to know the only real bad thing about my machine is easily fixed.

BUMP

Only pins I would be interested in would be ones where I would pay more money towards. Really want a World Cup Soccer, but any other williams pin in the DMD era. I am well aware what they cost, and the price of the Hydro Thunder would merely take the edge off the price.
