A New Hope... "I knew you could do it!"
RetroACTIVE:
We'll I finally got one... I had to drive to Pittsburgh to get it... ~200mi.. But I am wicked excited... i paid around 600 for it... The monitor (WG) needs some work but it is in very good shape... the insides are all 100% original (no cuts/splices or hacks). The yoke appears to be fine... there are a few dings here and there but nothing major and from what I've been told, I am the 3rd owner of the machine.
I'm going to take a minimalist approach to this one... I'm going to fix the dings do some quick touch ups, clean the inside and service the monitor... thats it. There is no need to dissect the machine as it is in very good shape overall and I do not want to create extra work that is simply not necessary.... besides I want to play the darn thing!

I saw his offerings... and I recall your posting before regarding the rebuild deal. I need to inquire as I double checked the action on the yoke and it seems it may have a gear issue when it is twisted all the way forward, so there may be a nick in a gear or two.
She ain't no cockpit... but I don't have the space for one without giving up one or two of my other games, which Im not willing to do ;)
