While browsing Craig's fine list on Friday, I happened upon a Galaga for $100, posted an hour ago. I called, being informed there were 7 others interested. The game went to a local KLOV'er. Defeated, I decided to post an add on CL myself, looking for games. Within 30 minutes I get a call from a deep-voiced man named Kenny. Kenny has a tempest. He says the only problem-it gets out of alignment when moved. He also said it was a rarity, it was one of the first two-hundred made. We set to meet on Saturday.
Saturday rolled around, We hopped in the car, to Columbus. We Arrived at the address, it had a car with a lisence plate Said "LynSkn". We were greeted by a bearded man wearing a shirt with marijuana leaves and a picture of Willy Nelson stating "legalize it!". I though, wow, this is going to be interesting. Long story short, Kenny was a nice guy. He's in a Lynard Skynard tribute band. Anyway, the machine was beautiful. Great sides, perfect marquee, amazing CP, and there was hardly a scratch on it. The image was terribly garbled, though, it played. Sold! We loaded it up, and paid the man. We got a great deal on this one! We didn't rip the guy off, I mean, you gotta leave a guy some weed-money, right?
Got it home, cleaned it up, fighured out the x/y pots were out of line, and fixed them. It plays amazingly! Well, that's it, the arcade is growing! (pictures upcoming)
