Unless it was the old "get them to call and then bid it up" ploy or a fake listing ... although I noticed that the seller didn't say the magic words "It's probably just a fuse".

I hope it was a clean deal and that DJLooter gets it, but the shenanigans are out there.

I picked up a nice Galaxian for $50 on CL a little while back.   The screen scrolls like crazy and can't be adjusted to stop it, but I haven't had the time to try to do more than that.  Doesn't seem like anything terribly difficult to fix.  It works perfectly otherwise.

Every once in a while, a deal does rear it's head.  Hope you get it!

 :notworthy:THE ARCADE GODS HAVE BLESSED ME WITH THIS CAB, THE ADD WAS REAL  ;D& I WILL POST THE PICS SOON & begin to restore it ::). I was thinking of changing the t-molding to Galaxian green. Let me now if you guys have any other ideas. And for The Poker Brat sorry that was the only game available.

That looks like one of them "get this thing out of my garage" deals.

Good score.  :cheers:
