First came andys80s EDOT adventure, then the Canadian EDOT adventure by Nevus. Now I present to you the third EDOT acquisition in two months!
This was the one listed on eBay last week. I spoke with the seller a few times, and we arrived at a fair price. I made a nine-hour round trip to pick her up last Saturday. It should not have been that long of a trip, but I had to stop along the way to pick up a buddy to help load. And I had to stop and get some BBQ on the way back.
The story is that this guy bought the game from an op in 1988 after the power supply failed. He's been storing it for 22 years, and never tried to fix the power supply. He did yank the suitcase, which unfortunately got pretty wet. I haven't pulled it apart yet to see how bad it is. There is also a little water damage to the bottom edge of the cabinet. More than I hoped for, but not too awful.
The bad: Does not work, some water damage, broken chase light covers, stained carpet, flaking rear glass, rough foam guards, rough CPO.
The good: Everything else! It's a f'n Environmental Discs of Tron!
