I have to go pick up the River Patrol game on Sunday, and while looking a guy has a Pleiads game for free (doesnt say if its a cocktail or cabinet), he said its old doesnt work and its taking up space so come get it! I emailed him and am waiting for response! I will post pics when I get them!  :applaud:

Well I went and picked them up today, River patrol was 75 dollars and Pleaides was free (didnt work). I have some cosmetic work to do on the Pleaides because the guy bought it broken and didnt know how to fix it and stuck it out on his back porch to ruin. So with out further ado here are the pictures (multiple posts)!

That artwork on Pleiads is great :)

The control panel is rusted and the overlay is flaking off, so ill have to get a new one! The dirt on the plexi is a mixture of dirt and nicotine, so i cleaned it up last night and you can actually see the game!

Im debating if i should cut new sides for the cab (since they're shot) or leave it alone, the cabinet (if it had feelings) would be miserable to look like that and would never have a date (player).

I live in Panama City (2 hours east). the guy originally wanted 300 dollars for the river patrol but had to get rid of it. so he took my offer of 75 dollars.
