Me and my girl were on our way up to do a computer repair in town this morning. When a girl friend called around 9:45am and said hey I am at a yard sale.

One missile command and a space invaders deluxe later... That were beat to shit, plus no boards err. We have a couple of freebies houston! The mechanics cart cost 5 bucks and a roll of ground wire strapping 1 lol...

6 dollar day out on the town, Oh the randomness of this hobby amazes me sometimes!

Nice Save!!! Usually when games are free at yard sales the next step is the curb. Then the dump.
 
I bet getting there before someone else got them was the the hardest part.

I lost out on 3 Games last year when i got a call like that. By the time i got there they where long gone. :O(
 
Looks like she got a little wet. The wire harness is intact and does not appear to have been cut. It also looks like the art work for this is already available. Now that's cool! Whats kind of monitor is this supposed to have?

Here is the power supply and it has some color coded molex's snapped to it. Are these just test keys or something?

I don't have the manual in front of me, but I believe the orange molex connector acts as a jumper and sets the voltage rating for use within the United States?
 
Yep I was digging around and your correct. They are for different voltages. Freaked me out when I seen them. I was like wtf...
 
Space invaders deluxe should have a black and white motorola or wells gardner. Don't recall the numbers. Although, I have heard that you can mod a standard res monitor if you know what you are doing.
 
Glad to see you back collecting! Congrats on the snags, but I do have to give you the Big Balls of the Day award for taking a call from a girl friend while in the car with the current girl friend! I'm not sure if the :eek: smilie or the :D is the appropriate one......
