I saw this game for the first time in a re-watch of 'Joysticks' yesterday. I noticed it was loaded on the truck when the dude was trying to sabotage the owner of the arcade. I have no memory of a HUSTLE arcade game, but the interwebs say it's real!
 
I have one. It doesn't work. Power gets lost in the power supply board and it wants some nonstandard voltages so hacking in a switcher didn't work.
 
Yep. I picked one up for 50 bones in a "raid" of sorts I did a few Saturdays ago. I passed it on to Tbbk. The Hustle cab was in the nicest condition of all of the machines I picked up in the raid.

I actually forgot to make a thread about my haul...then I became too busy as per usual...then when I did have free time I was either too lazy or it went to the GF.

Let's see... I think the haul consisted of:

-Atari Basketball ~ 50 bones (Tbbk got it working)
-Gremlin/Atari Hustle ~ 50 bones

At first I was only going to get those two because that's all I thought I could fit into the bed of my f-150 given my current load at the time. You see I already had a Satan's Hollow and a Donkey Kong Cabaret loaded up from 2 pick ups that I made earlier that morning nearby.

However, after I got both of them into my truck bed singlehandedly I knew I could fit one more. I went back inside/downstairs and got:

-Missile Command Cocktail ~ $30 bones (or was it $20 Tbbk?)

Then after loading that up...my addiction + logistics degree + tetris skills kicked in once more :D and I knew I could fit yet another one! But it had to be of a certain size and a certain shape... I knew just the machine!

Kee Games Quiz Show ~ $25 bones

I also got some random $hit.

So...yeah, 4 machines + an extra cocktail glass + 2 extra monitors + a beatup Revolution X Glass bezel, all for $155 bones.

I don't know if the missile command was $20 or $30, I just paid you what you asked for it! It is probably going to sit in my shed with a board problem until the missing glass falls out of the sky into my lap without shattering.
