Started off with a search to find a pinball forum to ask about a GI issue, found you and in about 1 months time I have purchased a refirb arcade cabinet and search craigslist every couple of hours. Seems I will be getting a new addition to my arcade this evening. An Atari Kangaroo in its orig cabinet 
We purchased a new TV and I put the old one up on craigslist and included "would consider trading for a pinball or standup arcade game" Only two inquiries and one was this guy with a Kangaroo. Game looks pretty simple, but for some reason I simply must have it. I think it is to get over the guilt of converting my EFTPOTRM into a MAME in the future. Still have to have at least one classic cab or something.
He is bringing it over tonight with a trailer and helping me get it into the basement and I help him get the TV out and he is throwing in $50 on top of it. I have not seen it, but said this:
Lucky for me the wife really does not care what I do to my mini arcade and just wanted the TV gone. I figured I could get something for it on CL and I got the offer to trade. When I told her about it she just gave me that look. I am sure many of you have gotten the same look
Will post pictures of it tonight

Game works great. I've had it for about 5 or 6 years now, and it's never given me a problem. It is in the original cabinet, with all of the side art and the marquee looking great. The bottom of the cabinet has a little damage to the wood where it took on some water, but it's structurally really sound.
