agreed.  you wouldn't happen to be in Cleveland, OH would you?  ;)
CheffoJeffo:
Yeah, they were all a good deal complete at that price.

When you get that Defender, be sure to check in with BYOAC member RETROActive -- he's to be the premiere Williams troubleshooter/board fixer around here.

* CheffoJeffo remembers that he has a Joust boardset that needs going over

LOL  I wanted to buy all of them!  Besides the fact that I couldn't afford $500 right now, my wife would kill me if I did that.  I offered the seller $400 for all of them, but she was very firm on $100 each.  I might be able to talk my brother into partnering with me on the others.  I'll post pics this weekend when I actually take possesion of them.

Padstack - sorry, not in Ohio.  Central CA (smog capital of the US)  ;)
DP Louie:
Sorry for the delay - better late than never right?  ;D  Anyhow, here's a few pics of what I got - the Defender is pretty rough, but complete, except for a piece of the coin door.  I plugged it in and the monitor turns on, but nothing else happens.  The leds on the pcb light up.  I am going to restore this cab, but first I'm going to work on the Mario Bros cab.  It is a converted DK jr (I thought it was a baby blue cab, but it is orange - I had looked at another MB earlier that was blue, must have got them confused!).  It's pretty rough as well.  It looked to be complete, but after I got them home and examined them closely, I discovered that there were no pcb's in the "cage"!  Oh well, my fault.  The monitor has really bad screen burn as well.  I've decided to convert this cab to a mamed Donkey Kong ala Buckethead's thread:

I'll post my progress in the Project Announcements area.  I also bought the Eight Ball Deluxe pinball machine.   Well, actually my brother bought it, but it's in my garage at the moment - it's really clean, although it's not working.  I think that the mpu is bad due to corrosion.  We paid $100 each for these, now that I have them I think they were overpriced based on there condition, but it's still really cool to have have a Defender cab, and most of my enjoyment comes from building/restoring anyway.  :applaud:
