Grabs so far this year, would like to see other collectors as well.

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.

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/cash deal that ended up fair for both of us. Because of the trade angle i am into it well below market value.

Love it! I just recently brought one back from the dead and it's now one of the best in my collection.
 
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. :)

I picked this up a couple of weeks ago. Since then, added blue LED display, yellow legs, and Cointaker LED kit.

January 2018 was a busy month for me :eek:

Thanks to CarrieZ and Muel for grabbing this one for me. Berzerk missing PCBs, I already had a JROK Berzerk/Frenzy PCB...so that'll work out not too bad ;)
