Well, after getting shafted on one from across the country, I gave up hope on ever finding one again. Low and behold, this one pop's up on CL about 2 1/2 hours away. The guy has it listed for $150 and we negotiate at $110. The photos look promising and the seller assures me it's in good shape. Obviously his idea of good shape isnt the same as mine, its pretty rough. But overall still not a bad price. The game is complete but has a board problem as you can tell. I'm going to reseat chips tomorrow and hope for the best, right after I give the game a good cleaning. I'd like to reattach the peeling laminate on the bottom, any advice?

Hell Ya.. Nice price... I had a shot at one a few years ago, but it was on the 4th floor of a old building, and the elevator didnt work anymore..

That thing would look great restored.. Huge cab!!:cool:
 
Unfortunately reseating chips did nothing. The board also has a few hacks on it and a little bit of corrosion around a few soldered chips. Looks like I'm on the hunt for another boardset or a donor upright.

I thought the upright and the cockpit have different boards?
