I drove into North Idaho Tonight to pick up my new game.

Anyway he had a few machines for sale. He had a nice Mario and a Space Invaders Deluxe, but the machine that brought me over was a Moon Patrol. I loved this machine back in the golded era, and after playing Dokerts at the show last year It has been on my priority list.

So I drive to Idaho. I had no picture of this machine, I was just told it worked. I got there and he said he just turned it on, and it was not working. I looked over the machine, No water damage, The nicest original sideart I have seen. WOW. Coin door was beat up. I told him that I had expected a working machine and asked him if he would come down on the price a bit. He said how about $100.

I got home unplugged and plugged back in the edge connector. and it fired right up!! WTF I never get that lucky!! It needs a cap kit but its playable.

Here are some pics of my $100 Grail.

Jailbars abound! Definitely wanting a cap kit. That side art more than makes up for it. Moon Patrol is one of my "back in the day" games that I hope to get someday. Fix the coin door and that thing will be damn near minty. Great pickup, especially for the price.
 
nice score! i just had a similar thing happen with my space invaders. it's like the games themselves want to be sold for less.
 
Wow- that thing is in great shape!!! When I get "$100 Lucky" it's usually on some crappy game like a Tri-Sports or a World Series, not a Moon Patrol! Nice score :cool:
 
Dang i knew you where being too quiet!! Karl Jr! Nah i can'nt say that he would have brought them all home.

If only others would have luck like this! Congrads anyways.
 
Glad that someone from KLOV got this game. I have been calling and emailing this seller
since Wednesday. Thursday he emails me back saying he will call me later. He never did.

Do you want to make a quick hundred? I'll buy it for his original price.
