Ok, Wacko score challenge! Come on, what kind of score are we talking here. Great game. I'm in for some score board posting bragging!
 
count me in
my best is 109,000 or so



but I will start playing for a challenge

(said smugly) :)

mine has freeplay and the unique purple marquee

pics to come if necessary
 
I've seen quite a few Wackos up by your area Dylan for fair prices.

Yeah I paid $350 I think. But he gave me a couple of widebody bezels, so I got about $80 out of those. (offset theprice a bit)

put a new trackball kit, rebuilt the power board.

I am working on some trackball kits as we speak. I am going to make about 8 sets so I can have a couple and other guys can have access to them if they want.
I found a source for the optics as well, so I have a few extra of those.

great game

I have broken 100K, but only a couple of times. Of course the scores didn't save, so I can't prove it :(

Purple marquee? Huh? Pics! Pics!

the chips4sale guy had whole sets remade and had a hard time selling them. Just mentioning so you don't get stuck with them. Then again, if you can get them down to a good price, maybe you can sell them.
 
Great machine and great game. The colors are really sharp on your bezel, I knew mine had to be faded some. I don't see mine going anywhere for a very long time. The TB rebuild units can still be had, I think he has them listed for $50 on ebay.

This is a great game and mine is currently being sacrificed for a future artwork package otherwise i'd be playing it.

Glad to hear you still have it, Chris. Seeing all this talk about Wacko makes me miss mine. By far, the cabinet is the best part of the game....gameplay for me not so much.

Ok....Well I will try to keep it short as it is a long story.

This maching was on CL in MA and posted in the CL sale section here. I called the number only to have it tell me that it was out of service. I figured it was a joke but sent a quick email with my phone number anyway. I then posted in the thread that I thought it was bogus. I heard nothing for the rest of the day.

Then next morning I get a call and its the Wacko guy. He tells me that he is using his wifes phone because he was having trouble with his. No big deal I figure. We talk about the game a bit and being that it was so far away and Thursday I tell him I will overnight him the cash for the game and set up the shipping for the next day(Friday).

Now this is where the fun begins....I come to find out later that night his brother had got in his head that this was going to be a scam and that the game would be picked up and the money would never come....

So Friday morning I wake up to 5 missed calls...starting at 5AM....(im west coast and he is east and did not think about it)....all the Wacko guy....telling me that I was trying to scam him and the money never came (Thanks Fedex).
Imagine getting a message from Tony Soprano after he figured you were ripping him off!
He said that he had called the shipping company and told them that if they showed up that the guys where the game was (a tattoo parlor) were going to shoot them on sight. He himself went down to the tattoo shop and waited for the truck to chase them off. You get the idea....

So after listening to 4 or 5 messages like this I call and the first thing he says is "IM SO SORRY"..... Turns out when he got home the money was on his porch. I even sent a little extra for the game because it sounded nice and I thought he could use it. He felt really bad.
