I reached out to the guy and will hopefully get over there to check it out.  Not too far.

Will be checking it out on Saturday.  Any tips on what to look for would be greatly appreciated.   My wife is already giving me "the look".

$75 for the Rotary joysticks alone is a good deal. They pop up here and there, but those things aren't so easy to find.

I'd try to talk him down to $60 and use the PBJ "cash in hand" ploy.

Thx.   We'll see what happens.  Could be a fun project.

Pick it up and he was more than happy to part with it for $60.

Included:

Marquee - Pristine Condition
Completed CP - Needs new plexi but is in otherwise great shape.  Controllers seem to be in good shape
Jamma Board - No obvious red flags
Bezel - Faded but could easily be scanned and cleaned up
Manual - A little rough around the edges but usable
Harness - Need a new one of these as the one he had was all cut up

Turns out he was really a pinhead (had an impressive collection of mint condition EM's).  He was converting the Time Soldiers to a 60 in 1.   

Don't know when I will get to it but I might try my hand at building a replica cabinet and try my first jamma project.
