Picked this up off Craigslist yesterday
Story?
Collector? Random home? Price point on a scale from 'Holy shit $50!!' to 'I really wanted it, so market value was cool'?
Ended up being a collector who owns a local arcade. He was handling the sale for a friend. I worked out a partial trade/caah deal that ended up fair for both of us. Because of the trade angle i am into it well below market value.
Got one of my grails today, this was home owned since 1984. It works perfectly, and once I got all the roach poops out of it... it was good to go.
I finally picked up a really clean DK. I had been waiting a couple years to find one that was as original as possible but also clean. Best I can tell, it's 100% original.
The previous owner had it nicely tucked away in his spare bedroom for the last 10 years. He literally didn't have a key for the back door so he never even looked inside. The original manual was still in there. All the backdoor paperwork is still intact.
The only thing it really needs is a cap kit and light-bulb/starter. (And I'll do sand1's speaker hum-killer mod while I'm in there, of course) oh...and I could hear it already asking me to put the DK Remix inside.
Really happy to find one in such good original shape.
