Hey, I finally picked up my 720 last weekend. Just got done replacing the power supply. It's been years since I played one, totally still my favorite. Thanks for all the responses.

One of my next projects will be fixing up the 720's I have in storage. I am sure I will have one ready for cax. So if you plan to drive out, you could drive back with one..
 
Welcome dvelamont!
Good luck with the 720 search...It shouldnt be very hard to find one you are happy with...I had to get rid of one years ago and recently got another one off ebay...I replaced the joystick, coin door, all art, moldings and touched up some of the paint. It plays great and I love it!
The only problem is now that it is completely restored Im starting to get the itch to start another game project! I hear this is a common addiction...All I wanted when I started was an awesome 720 but now Im hungry for more!!
 
There is one for sale in Wisconsin. Milwaukee area I can give you the person's email address should you like. It is in decent shape. Not great mind you. The Control Panel is yellowed from what I would imagine is cigarette smoke. I believe it was the same one that was in a local bar for a number of years. They had many a classic, Ms Pac Man, Burger Time, Centipede etc. Like I said decent but some wear.

They were at last asking $900.00. I had wanted one for a long long time, but my game room is full I have no more room for a new game, and well I am not giving up any of my current ones for it.

I hear ya! 720 is the only on I wanted too (for about the last 20 years). I just got my 720 2 months ago, restored it, havent even played it yet (as Im waiting on a LETA chip), and I am already looking at getting another one. Maybe Championship Sprint, or Track and Field. So ya... It gets addicting, FAST!
