Move over RoadBlasters, make room for a headache...

Well, I hope it's a headache thats worth it at least. RoadBlasters had to go to make room in the cave and in my budget for this one.

It's mostly working at this point. Has an intermittent sound issue and some cosmetic issues. The monitor was acually mostly working when I picked it up this weekend, but I patched up some bad solder joints and now, well, Ill let the photos tell the story.

I think I did OK on it. It was $350. Would have been a good deal, but I can already see this being a money pit. Oh well, that's what I get for buying a game sight unseen. I'm in no hurry so I'm up for it. Just glad to have it in my collection.

Heres some pictures, more on the way...

Batch #2. It will need side art and a CPO at least in the future, and the joystick insert is cracked. The background art above the monitor also has a small crack in the translite, not terrible. Other than that, just minor knicks and scratches here and there. The coin door is a pile of rust, cant even use the reject buttons right now, but it is straight and complete, definitely restoreable. This has to be the first game I ever bought with all the correct lighting, and all of it in working order. Controls are also in good shape.

Batch #3. Inside of the cabinet after I went thru the game with a shop vac, glass cleaner & elbow grease. This thing was disgusting.

Then I put it in the row, next to Satans Hollow in the dark, awesome. Now all that's missing is a Gorf, anyone have one for sale? :D

Well, since I now have the game, I just had to go buy the movie. I had never seen it until a few days ago. I thought it was OK. I plan on seeing the new one as soon as it hits the theatres (this winter, isnt it?)

Great score. If you get tired of it being a money pit, or just need a quick $350 I'm just a phone call away ;)

I just made my kids watch the movie with me last night as a matter of fact.
 
I would be willing to take that Rush off your hands if you need some money to justify the purchase of the Tron. ;)

Rush can be yours for......
