So, I had recently told my wife no new machines until my projects are done. That didn't last very long. I couldn't pass this one up. Went to take a look at it and cab was in good shape but it didn't turn on. Monitor would turn on but the board didn't power up. Took my chances and brought it home. Pulled it out of the van, checked the connections, plugged it in and she fired right up. Loved this game on MAME, so I couldn't let it go.

I thought so. Thought I was picking up a painted big blue by the looks of the tiny CL pic but I'm not sure what the hell it is.

I was wondering when someone was going to get that. It was on Craigslist for awhile. Not on my list, but a good grab.
 
on second look, it's not a Big Blue. It's a Leland cabinet, something like Pigout or World Soccer!

Edit: Must have been a pigout, you can tell by where the buttons/sticks are.

Yes, that was the guy. I couldn't get what he wanted out of it. From what I saw it was pretty beat on one side.

I see, yes the guy was a cog off center. I looked at these 2 weeks ago. I called him and told him I was interested. Go to the storage unit and he wouldn't price them. After about an hour of talk I offered him $300 for Ms. Pac, $100 for AVP, and told him I'd take the POS Eagle for $50 so he wouldn't be stuck with it. He says no on the AVP and Ms Pac, but I can take the Eagle, I decline because it looked like firewood to me. 2 weeks pass and he calls me about 1 PM Sunday and tells me to come get 'em, but I missed his call and called him back about 4. He said I was the high bidder, but he was on his way to meet someone else about the games. I didn't even know I was bidding, I thought after I left 2 weeks ago it was a dead deal.

Anyway, I'm glad you got it and it worked out for you. It looks great!
