I was having lunch with my girlfriends family when my phone beeps at me letting me know that a new arcade post has went up on craigslist (god I love this phone!) so I check it out, and see this: http://knoxville.craigslist.org/vgm/2371078546.html
I call the guy up, he tells me they are still available, that they used to work and when he moved here from texas they quit working, so, without bugging the crap out of him about the games, what works, how good of shape they are in, etc, I tell him I will take them and I am on my way with a dolly and a truck to get them. a half hour and 25 bucks later, they are in my basement. Enduro racer is having some board problems, getting graphic glitches, sound glitches and solid screens of color. Commando is a different story, the board fires up, coins up, but the monitor seems to be D.O.A., but the best part is this is a converted Q-bert and it appears all the wiring is still intact for the qbert! Im pretty confident I will be attempting to restore this bad boy to its former glory. Man....its about time one of these deals popped up in my own neck of the woods, I am tired of driving several hours haha!! here are some pics:
