This was one of my first game purchases 16+ years ago. It was at an auction in Louisville that most of the "classics" at the time someone (seller?) would get the first bid of $25 and we "had" to pay the next price of $35. We could never get the $25 bid. Say it with me "if I knew then what I know now.....". You can still see the auction sticker on the marquee. I never heard of goof-off until this site (yes, I have the safe-for-plastic stuff).
Every MB I played BITD had a crummy CPO, so the one on this machine never really bothered me. Then I had to order some parts from the site that reproduces the CPO so I ordered one (sorry, can't remember QuarterArcade?). Then the side art sold out and we started a campaign to get another "last run" done. Success.
Now, I can't stick new sideart and CPO on a machine with nicks, bangs, and gouges. So, a restore is in order - although its probably better to call it a "cleanup and make it more presentable" project.
I'm scared to see all the dirt and grime in the bottom for all these years!
