Last night an ad came up for a Kangaroo for $100 on the Seattle CL. They also had an Exidy Venture not working that they'd throw in. I emailed and got a call back. It was at a warehouse in Ballard and he'd be around until 6pm last night. I told him I couldn't make it until the morning and he said fine so we set it up for 9am.
I got there just after 9 and saw the Kangaroo. It was in good shape and seemed to work fine but it was dirty. He told me $100 for the roo and if I get him a case of beer I can have the Venture. I really wasn't interested in the Kangaroo but thought I'd check it out for $100. I watched a youtube vid on Venture and thought it looked fun.
I asked him if he had other interest in the Kangaroo I would just take the Venture for a case of beer, he passed and said he just wanted them gone. I told him I'd have to take the roo now and pick uo the Venture later this afternoon since I'm heading to Dick Millikans place and an arcade party after that. I went and pulled my truck around and when I got out he said if you just want the Venture that's fine. I went 2 blocks to the Safeway and picked him up his choice of Bud and went back and loaded the Venture.
I got home and shored up the base of the cab and unloaded it. I checked all connections and noticed the video plug to the monitor was unplugged. I plugged it in and seated the daughter cards on the chassis which I'm pretty sure it's a 4600. Plugged it in and ta-da it works. I need to do some adjustments and cleaning and I may build a new cab for it some day we'll see.
A nice score for a total of $22.00 for a case of Bud..........
