Title: Road Trip
Post by: Neverending Project on March 05, 2009, 05:43:01 pm

I'm heading off tomorrow to pick up a couple more (partially working) games for my collection. It will be my longest road trip yet for a score - should take alllll day. Wish me luck.

Oh, and here's a hint at what I'm picking up...
One rhymes with "Bar Whores", and the other rhymes with "Heaven Plenty."  ;)

I'm back. It was a looong day. I traveled from Portland, OR to Walla Walla, WA (about 260 miles each way). Seems a bit crazy, and quite frankly this morning I was thinking it was a mistake. But now I am the proud owner of a nice condition Star Wars upright and an OK condition 720°. Both need some work, but I think the Star Wars is in great shape physically. I will have some pics up soon in the Restorations forum, but for now enjoy some pics I snapped with my phone on the drive. It really was a beautiful drive...

I don't drive much for games anymore, but those two would be well worth a day in the car ... nice!

Now make with the game pics ...

Maybe you could help abzman2000 with his Star Wars cab that was all torn up. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=87982.0

I think he needed pics of how it was assembled to figure out was was OEM and what was tacked on by previous owners....

Voila (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=90227.msg947298#msg947298).

I haven't taken any of the 720° yet, but hopefully will soon.
