So, I get to work this morning and right as I sit down I get an alert on my phone that an arcade machine just got posted on craigslist.

I check it and a guy 5 miles from my work is selling a Missile Command (Working), Asteroids (Non Working), and Vanguard (Working). Each one is $125.00

After a bit of phone tag I told him I would buy the Missile Command. I tell my boss about it and he tells me get out here and go pick it up (I have an awesome boss). I head on over and arrive at the location and it is a business called Heath and Wellness Center. I open the door and I am greeted with a very odd odor and a small waiting room with a window with bars on it. The guy on the other side of the window asked me if I was here for the game and let's me in a very heavy metal door.

Once in the other room I see the Missile Command and Asteroids along with 4 or 5 display cases full or Pot. Now I recognize the odor...

The guy was nice as can be and helps me load the game in my truck. The game fully works, the cabinet is in decent shape, the CPO needs replacing and some cleaning (Also, some Fabreze to eliminate the odor) but I am very happy.

Here are some pics..

Very Nice !! You got a great deal . They must have been too stoned to know what was going on .
 
I'm surprized they didn't have a Food Fight and a Burgertime...;)


Great score, btw! That cab looks great. Your boss is the man for letting you leave work to pick that up, that's awesome.
 
Thats a nice looking missile command! Hope it something simple to fix. (most times not)


:cool:
 
Great score and I can't believe you didn't pick up the other 2?

The Asteroids looked OK but for some reason the Back Panel was soaking wet.. Very strange. It did work though... I already have an Asteroids and I figured I would let someone else get it..

I was never a big fan of Vanguard....
