The Hot Rod needs a new disk...
Pat got it and both the Spectar (which worked great, had no back, but was still a sucky game) and the Bosconian (which had board issues)
It was a buyers' market there. Some of the machines went stupid cheap.
Well, it was a buyer's market except for one guy's stuff. He brought the horribly water damaged old, rarer stuff such as the spy hunter sit downs, the Mach IIIs (the worst of the water damaged stuff), the 3 monitor Speed Buggy, the sit down Buck Rogers, a F-14 Tomcat pinball, and more... He bumped the prices up too high through shilling and didn't want anything to sell except for top dollar.
He claimed that he could redo the Buck Rogers and sell it for over 4 grand... If that were the case then why the F*** didn't he just do that instead of putting in in a freakin' auction in the shitty shape it was in?
He had a bid of 300 on the F14 Tomcat and kept going up so people walked. "It's a revision 5 and the best revision of the game! It actually works where the others burn up and crap out!" - uh-huh... Maybe so, but this one looks like it was pissed on by a dozen rain clouds, the playfield was bad, plastics replaced by clear pieces that were warped badly.. and it goes on & on.
Insanity. The auctioneers were making catty comments about it too.
