Was soldering away on my Star Castle ( thats a whole other story) when my phone rings and it's Frizz asking me if i saw the Sea Wolf that just popped on CL . He gave me the number and I called . The game was only 3 miles from my house and was in my top 3 of my want list. In fact, its one of the only 3 games left on my must have list. Went over and got it for 180.00, cabinet is collector quality and it works with a minor glitch that will should be an easy fix. No pics for now , im on lunch , but wanted to give Frizz a quick shout. Another personal grail locked down. Just need a Tempest and Red Baron now.
 
Awesome. I am still looking for a working SeaWolf. I played the one at CAX and it reminded me how much I still like the game. Until that moment, I hadn't played one since '82. That cabinet is one of the best.
 
No problem Dave. You'd mentioned you were considering the other Sea Wolf so I knew you were looking... when I saw it your name instantly came to mind.

I am happy that you got it!

+1. I can't say I fell in love with it enough to have to get one, but it was a real treat playing it there. Congrats Arc!
 
Cool. Nice score Dave. I didn't even see that one pop up. It's great to see the local collectors working together to aquire the grails.
 
Why the fetch are there so many cabs in Idaho available? That's it I'm moving!!

Utah sucks when it comes to finding good deals on cabs. Everyone thinks their cabs are worth $1k, even the ops.

They really do! They think that everything that is old is a collectible and that just because it's an arcade it's worth $$$.

You can move over here too - We've had about 9 cabs on CL in the past week. Sadly, nothing I want but some are actually in my price range (Three of them were $150 for working complete machines!)
 
Look forward to seeing some pictures. Looks like a fun game. I have never played nor seen one in person. I did however play a new version of the game last week when I was in San Diego. I can't find much about it online, but it was a fun game. Here are some pics:

I had one and sold it a long time ago, regretted it ever since. There have been a lot of good deals here in Idaho lately, Frizz's score , Hatricks Berzerks, and all the games that I have picked up starting with my Space Duel back on Mothers Day. I have averaged 125 a game for my last 6 games. Not too bad.
 
Ok.. We did have a warehouse raid a month ago that offered a bunch of unknown working cabs up for $100 each. To bad they were all conversions.

I have a feeling that the tide is about to change.... It's got to sometime... I hope!

Didn't look so good.....

I hope so. When it does, you and I may be fighting over the find....
