So my In-Laws are pretty awesome and have been a huge supporter of my going back to school to finish my degree. Last month they came out to visit the baby (who is One Year old now), and they let me know that they got me a present for my graduation. I don't know what to expect but they hand me a small blue photo book. The following photos were in this order, and some are rather blurry (scanned in).

So I was completely amazed and speechless. The machine is in amazing shape, completely original and has spent all of it's life in private ownership at a doctors office in Florida. My mother-in-law negotiated with her long-time boss for the machine.
So now I have my official 1st authentic classic arcade machine. My mind immediately began to race on what is next....

cool cocktail - enjoy dude.

Amazing! Not everyday you get a Ms. Pac-man cocktail for free!
Keep that puppy nice and clean!

Nice! Looks in pretty good shape too. Hopefully the inside is in good shape also.

Pretty cab! I would have a hard time keeping it knowing the value. I like my arcades like I like my trucks... beat up to the point you don't care who uses them. I would be worried all the time that things so pretty!

That's a noob thing. This was posted in the correct sub-forum.

That is the best graduation gift ever. I just finished college and got nothing, so I'm planning on building a cab for myself.
-
yeah, when I graduated college I got nothing but "hey, time to start paying on those student loans!"
It was so depressing I borrowed more and went to grad school.

Heh. I'm considering the same thing. That and I was non traditional student and I already hate the industry I work in....I may have made a huge mistake.
-
Pretty damn cool in-laws there. :applaud:
-
Awesome graduation gift there. All I got was a bunch of student loans to pay off. :lol One of these days I will have a house I'm not afraid will fall in and that doesn't leak during a heavy rain storm and can buy a real dedicated cab. As of now though I'm pretty happy with my mame cab. Even in it's currently unplayable state.

cool gift. congratulations.
