Yet Another Jackpot Story

While it may not be a Pac for $100...

...I am on my way to go pick this up for $150.00...

I'll post more pix when I get it home.

Nice. I don't know why you keep messing around with these other machines when all you really want is a Galaga machine.

I assume you and the wife are still together after blowing past the machine limitation you initially had?

Good find - good game.

I love that game, nice score! My next machine will be a Galaga as well.

Great cab.... great game.... you suck.

I am in need of a couple of things for this cabinet it looks like..springs for the wheel for sure,  and from the 5 minutes I was able to play/look at the game thus far,  it appears the shaking motor isn't operational....if anyone has a source,  please let me know.

I am ASSUMING these broken springs I found are for the wheel being that there is resistance in one direction but none in the other.  I assume this should be an easy fix...



So,  what did I get for my $150.00?

Overall,  cosmetically, the cabinet is in pretty good condition.  The left side side art is 1/2 missing unfortunately...



The right side art is in a bit better condition but they elected to paste the "TURBO" sticker from the upgrade kit right over the car on the side art.



The control panel is in damn good condition with only a minor blemish at the bottom left of the top sticker.  The rest,  from a casual look,  is in good condition.  The wheel isn't missing the middle cap,  but rather just the sticker.



The marquee and bezel, glass, etc are all in excellent shape!  The monitor itself is bright and clear but does have some burn-in from the game,  though while powered it isn't seen.



The insides are dirty as expected,  though not terrible and I found nothing unexpected inside.  The board itself is dusty as hell.  Can someone point out where the suicide battery mechanism is?



Here is the bottom of the cabinet.  Dirty as expected...nothing out of the ordinary from cursory glance...



Can someone tell me,  from this terrible photo (cant get up in to the cabinet to take a good shot),  what monitor chassis this is?  It has one longer adjustment than the rest?!?



Anyway,  the fan at the top back of the cabinet is as loud as all hell.  I mean LOUD.  Sounds like a jet taking off.  I will be replacing that shortly (but Jesus the sheer amount of air that thing pumps,  it will be hard to replace with anything much less noisy)...

Not a bad deal I'd say.
