I got really lucky. I never even saw it originally, a buddy messaged me about it 2 days after it was posted. It was listed as non-working on an online garage sale group but said it was cross posted too so I figured it was on CL and everywhere already. I looked at the post and there were a bunch of questions and interest. Person had it listed as best offer and had mentioned she would take $100 when someone asked, so I figured it was long gone. Then yesterday, another 3 days even later, someone else asked if it was still available. When she said it still was I couldn't believe it, so I contacted her right away and went over there last night to get it. She said tons of people inquired about it, but no one came to see it except me, which was a good thing for me. I guess everyone else assumed that someone else had gotten it already like I did. Anyone who would have went over there saw the condition it was in would have grabbed it right away. I expected a water logged train wreck, so I was pretty happy when I got there.
The story goes it was in a woman's mother-in-law's garage for the last 20 years. It hasn't been touched in all that time and now they are cleaning out her house because she past away. The game is in really nice physical shape, no gouges or broken corners and it isn't water damaged. It has an original owl coin door which is pretty cool. She had no idea where the keys are, so I'm going to have to drill the locks, so I can't wait to see what is inside this 40 year old time capsule. I think I'm going to film the opening like Heraldo did when he opened Al Capone's vault. I'll probably end up with the same result as him too.
This is the best pic I have since the game is still in the van. I'll update for fun later on when I check it out.
