Ok, sorry to bog the board down, but as some of you may painfully know it's been a roller coaster over here in HI. But I finally had a few good scores and one tonight that I thought I got screwed and made out....
Long story made short. I contacted a guy about a month ago with a few "non-working" cocktails and a Missile Command/Centi/Milli combo. I was psyched about the cocktails to multi and sell (generic cabs, with "pac" knock offs according to him), and my wife loves MC. So I offered 500 for all, he turned me down. After much talking I end up at his place installing a 60 in 1 in his Ms Pac/Galaga reunion cab, in exchange for the two "non-working" cocktails and paying 300 for the MC/Centi/Milli, but no money was exchanged. So I show up tonight to pick up the cocktails and pay for the upright, find out he's sold the upright (which pisses me off because that was my salvation with the wife) and he's sold the cocktail I did for him for 900 (way under priced in this market, so he's killing my basis, and I think he poached a customer)...
So I load the cocktails up that I traded for the board, and leave kind of irritated, but we came to a mutual agreement on some possible future business (with nothing out of my pocket this time, and his dad owns the largest vending company on the island) So I get home, and start messing with the "non-working" Ms. Pac style cocktails. Turns out, G07's no burn, original working Ms. Pac Board with old Two Bit custom mods and a nice clean working Jr. Pac board, and the "non-working" was simply a badly adjusted flyback so you couldn't see the screen and a bad on off switch.... That makes three Pacs (two ms.) in 2 weeks for 50 dollars each, the economy definitely sucks!!! But I love it right now :) And Karma is a great thing :)

Congrats! Was the two-bits mod a SuperABC board? I've got a two of those kits and they are great.
