But at least it's a worthwhile project. :)

Sorry for the iPhone pic crappyness. I didn't have my camera and I was up way past my bedtime.

Plays blind but the cab looks decent. This is one I've been wanting to get since I started (like most people, I imagine). Feels like a relief to finally get one, albeit, not working. :eek:

Cripes is there a blowout sale going on on SW projects??!! They are popping up like crazy.

Congrats gibbous!
 
Congrats!

Seriously. There was one that popped up on CL here recently for $800 obo. I'm guessing someone snagged it up. Supposedly, only had a sound issue. It's raining SW cabs.

I hope you get yours up and running soon.
 
I saw that on CL yesterday. Was tempted, but then I looked at all the non-working cabs in my garage and thought better of it.

Looks like a nice game. Good score.
 
Thanks guys.

Heh, yeah, Jon, that's the same reason I'd been sitting on the sidelines for a while. I now have 10 non-working games or major projects to undertake. But I was moving things around the other day after getting rid of an empty cab and throwing out some junk and I realized I could squeeze in just one more. It would just have to be a good one.

I literally said to myself, "it would have to be like a Star Wars or something."

:rolleyes:

If this were in L.A., I probably wouldn't have even bothered. It just worked out that it was close enough not to be too much of a hassle.

Note to would be Star Wars transporters: DO NOT load the game on it's back into your mini van, and then attempt to pull it out and stand it up on your sloping driveway. The wheels on the rear kind of put a kibosh on the usual unloading procedure. :eek:
 
it seems like every so often there is a certain game going around. before i got my satan's hollow, they were popping up like mad. then it was trons. now it's star wars...

And yet I don't have my Satan's hollow or Star Wars. lies!! :D
 
If you're addicted to projects, but don't want to spend money, yyou can always come on over and work on mine. :D

Heh. I'm not addicted to fixing them, I'm addicted to buying them because they're cheap at least three or four times a year and fixing them at about a rate of one per year. I'm STILL sitting on that Pengo cocktail. I put in a JAMMA adapter, pulled the CPO off one side to replace it, and that's it. And that was about a year ago. :banghead:

I made an offer on that one as well. They never answered back. What did you pay for it? I'm sure this was the one in Lake Elsinore.

Yup. This was the one. Not nearly as "flawless" as he described. The side art isn't faded, but it's definitely got the typical scars from moving it around and stuff. Nothing too bad, though. No tears, just gouges and scratches. I'll snap more pics when I get a chance. I don't know if the seller cares if I post the price, but I got it for less than his asking price, but probably more than you offered. ;)

Its regional. Westminster is not at all related to Tuscon....

A cockpit popped up in Westwood (near UCLA) yesterday afternoon. At first I thought it was legit, but the fact that the ad is STILL up now makes me think it's a joke. Did you email on this one, Tom?

We have a very large and heavy arcade game based on the STAR WARS movies. You sit inside the game. This has been in our garage for more than 10 years. It was covered during that time so it's fairly clean and looks to be in good condition on the outside.

We plugged it in yesterday and we can hear music and talking but the picture is not on.

Our camera is broken, so we cannot provide pictures, but you are welcome to come look at it.
