Picking up a Shark Attack tomorrow

[Phetishboy]

Anyone have one, want one, hate one, fix them, have parts, need parts? I don't know much about the game, but it's cheap so I am grabbing it. I can't wait to hear the looping tape and it's authentic screams.

Looks cool. If it were cheap I would buy one.

Thats a rare machine, I have not seen one of those since the 80's

"Quadrofonic" is freaking awesome. Must have an 8-track stuck in the bottom of the cabinet. Nice find! Be sure to post some pics.

I just talked to the guy, I get it tomorrow afternoon for, get this, $10. Currently not working, but all there and locked up tight. He has no keys. Interesting to say the least. I was hoping it was a Jaws in the fiberglass shark cab when it was first described to me, but for 10 bearded clams, this'll do pigs, this'll do.

That's fantastic. I love that cab with the front panel that opens...at least it appears to be just like a crush roller cab. Tough to find one in decent shape, I hope yours is a gem!

we had a great white sighting near the shore in malibu recently. the way the media portrayed it, someone's leg got bitten off.

That is cool, and scary at the same time. I look for them everytime I go to the ocean. I've never seen a great white, but while walking on Redondo beach, I did once see a 4 foot shark brought right up near the shore by a big wave. 4 foot nurse or reef shark or something of that nature.

Or Jimmy Hoffa or that dark haired woman that kept showing up in cabinets a while back - forget her name but she was scary. Maybe someone has a pic.

KLOV shows 2 instances - one board and one dedicated so it seems "rare" by that definition.

For $10 bucks it is a gotta' get.

Well, the cabinet is in rough shape. Water damaged, stinky, the whole bottom covered in mud:

Good news is the side art is salvageable:

ands the bezel and marquee are very nice:

And yet that still kicks ass! This is probably a stupid question but you do plan to restore that right?
