Lucky SOB in Atlanta...

Someone is grabbing a HUO Asteroids in McDonough, GA right now for $75. (less than 1000 plays) I called, and they where already on their way. I would have fought with the guy on the phone to try and get it, but hey, I'm going off to college as it is.. I'm just waiting to hear the story. :)

Wow! That is awesome. I hope the guy is a member here and posts some pics.
 
It will be on ebay by the end of the week. Then we will see the pics.

Maybe I'm just having a bad day.

Well, that sounds like the Atlanta collecting scene. I swear, every collector I've met that isn't on KLOV or the local mailing list has been an asshole. BUT, I would like to think better of human beings than that, so I hope they are just resting up before they post some pics of a great score. :)
 
I think you're right on that one, Andy.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least to see this on ebay in a few days.

On an unrelated note... we should get together sometime. We both have the same name and live in the same town and have the same hobby.
 
Hey Patrick,

I see in your sig that you did finally get an Asteroids. Where did you get that one?

It was me,

The monitor will replaced with a 15 inches widescreen lcd, and I'll be putting in a 60-in-1 pcb and its going back to craiglist!

:p Just kidding! No, it wasnt me
 
I picked it up from someone on the pinball list a year or two ago. It still has a sound problem I need to fix (missing the thump and explosion sounds).

T'was I.
Not at first, but checked my email earlier this afternoon and had a message from the seller saying the person that was supposed to pick it up this morning never showed so it is mine if I could get there before 4. So out of my wife's van (mine is in the shop) I yanked all the kids car seats and stowed the others and with my 14 yo son riding shotgun off we went, thinking the whole time it was a joke post or would be gone by time we got there. But it was real and man does it looks good. It stinks form cigarettes and when powered up there is nothing but a dot in the middle of the screen so I need to go back later in the evening to do some troubleshooting. This thing looks brand new sitting next to my Asteroids project.
Pics will be on Ebay by the end of the week.






Kidding, this one's a keepa'.:D

Good!! I was actually 2nd in line, but passed because I'm leaving for college soon (No regrets). I'm happy that a KLOV'er got it.


You know, this entire conversation has me thinking... the Atlanta Collector scene really should get together soon!

+1. A good group would not only be fun, but it would enable us to take advantage of stuff like the Chattanoga giveaway that don't make sense as individuals.

Got the same Email. you beat me there by 20min. At least its going to stay in in a KLov collection. Worst part is (not yours though) He said he would hold it till I got there, then just texted me after an hour driving, instead of calling me, and said it was the guy "who was supposed to pick it up last night." Yea, right. Nice score for you though. Congrats.
