You don't see many of these, and you gotta love that stencil work. This game has supposedly been in storage for over 20 years. The front and back doors are locked. I can drill them if I have to and will document the inside if that's what I must do to sell it, but I will also guarantee it to be 100 percent complete if the new owner wants to be the one to open this thing up. Everything that I got from the same owner was 100% complete and unmolested and from the looks of this thing, it's gonna be the same way.

The monitor has raster and the game makes a continual siren sound and no picture. No significant wear, but a couple of minor Nick's and scratches on the silk screened cp. The marque has some flaking in spots. The bezel looks great. For as lightly used as the machine looks, I was surprised to find a decent amount of screen burn.

No rust or water damage. I will take pics of the underside, but I don't believe it ever had feet and is sitting directly on the wood sides and there is some minor flaking and delamination from repositioning the game (dragging the sides).

Even though it's a project, you won't find a better example of this game at this price. I could go.through it and get it working, but then id be selling it for a lot more. Ive done nothing more than plug it up once.

Available for pickup in Selma, Alabama. We have a Fastenal, but they don't have a dock and don't do shipping from the Selma location.

My family has a local business that does have a dock and it can be transported to that location if it saves on shipping.

Snooze you lose . Quick sale !
 
Well, saved me a trip to Alabama! :(

Congrats to the lucky new owner. Great deal and fun game, hope new owner can get it running easily.
 
Couple comments to the new owner, should they see this, or anyone else with an AI

1) I found a NOS board set and cage on eBay Germany for the AI that I picked up (it was missing all three boards). The guy had extra boards (can't remember which ones but all looked clean) so look on eBay Germany if you need any. This was maybe 10 months ago when I bought them

2) I have an extra cage if anyone needs one, it's super clean.

3) since my AI is now working, I'd be happy to test your boards one by one to tell you which one(s) isn't functioning if you need the help. That said, you'd have to pay shipping to and from California

Good luck.
