Aww man, I want to have a Defender so bad, I would love to restore one.  It's such a shame that folks throw these away when there are a lot of people who would love to have it.    :'(

BTW I just saw all the great pics of your restoration.  Inspiring stuff!

Thanks I appreciate that.  I sure wish that Defender was close to me though, I am really itching to do a full-on restoration of one of those.  That was my game back in the day.  I hope someone here can go grab it.

I would love to have it but detroit is 4 hrs away and I only go once a month (now if someone were to pick it up for me and hold it in the detroit area that would be perfect--then again I might as well wish for gold bricks to fall from the sky :P)

Crap-I just drove past that place Sunday afternoon.  I had my trailer also (with a Mach 3 and Berzerk).  I absolutely would have grabbed that cabinet.

Timing is everything.

Consider it saved :)

Nice looking cabinet.  Wood looked nice and the side and front art looked
to be in great shape.  Also had a monitor tube and chassis that was tagged
as bad so I'll have to see if I can get that in working shape.  Too dark to
take get a real good look at it or take any pictures (I picked it up about
9pm, really glad it was still there) so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to
get a chance to really look it over.  Eventually I'd like to turn this into
a multi-Williams.  Thanks for the info though :)
