I was checking CL Saturday morning and stumbled on an ad for a free asteroids cocktail. I made the call and was the first caller, I headed out to pick it up. I was only about a 20 minute drive and when I got there I asked how long they'd had it. The father proceeds to tell me his 26 year old son still living at home brought it home. He told his son he didn't want it in his garage and he had 2 weeks to get rid of it and that was 3 months ago.
It's in pretty good shape. Someone decided to paint all the woodgrain green. I started removing the paint to reveal the wood grain in great shape underneath. I'll need to order the underlay and get a new piece of glass for it. The cp's are excellent and I'll just replace the buttons. It powers up and plays except the screen is squished up into the top of the screen. I tested the monitor in a local SMAC member's Asteroids Deluxe and it worked fine so I have a board issue.
With Dokerts and a couple others help I ordered the parts that should fix it. All in all not bad for free! - Barry
