So, Lanky Kong had bought a couple of games about 200 miles away and he was going to get them.
On the way there he would be driving right through this town where some people had been advertising a relatively large list of rather questionable stuff. If they had been local I would have went to look, but I wasn't going to drive 100 miles each way to look at a basement full of broken conversion games, broken B&W games and broken cherry masters.
Luckily he was able to stop there on the way back from his pickup and finish filling the truck.
He snagged pulled 4 games and a couple spare monitors out of the place for a song.
He got Atari Basketball. Decent shape, seems to have AC power issues. trackballs of course need rebuilds.
He also got Atari Quiz show, the one with the 8 track tape player inside. More power issues here as well.
I got a Sega/Gremlin Hustle. In pretty good shape. Seems to have power supply issues.
I got a Missile Command cocktail with no glass on top and the cabinet is locked up with a big old padlock. Monitor came up with retrace lines about 5 minutes after I plugged it in.
Lanky Kong also picked up a Satan's Hollow and a Donkey Kong cabaret, but those were the ones he had already planned the trip around.
I will take some photos tomorrow.
