No doubt. But I forgot that I bought the back glass for $50, but still $200 isn't too bad. The BG is kinda sad. Someone spray painted the backside black. I am in no position to pay $300 for a good BG.

I'm in the same spot.  Mine looks okay if you're not paying attention... but if you really look you notice that some ---smurfing--- idiot previous owner secured flaking paint with duct tape.  It's like the worst case solution.  I need a new bg badly too but won't drop the cash on it.  Mine is definitely a player, I'm waiting to see if Halifax repros BK playfields.  If they do, I go whole hog on reproing my pin... if not, it stays a beaten up but really well working example in my basement.

Trog 4-player dedicated used to be my only white whale but now I am sure I can do better that the dedicated.  I plan on someday (room permitting) to build a sit down 4-player "Trogs cave" with fake rock styled cabinet and colored egg stools - sort of an environmental piece - with my kit.

The biggest thing working against me is lack of space. So right now I'm trying to keep my list attainable. Currently on my short list:

Williams cab to convert to Shinobi - Just like I used to play.
Neo-Geo 4-slot or 6-slot. Great games, only one cab.
I'd love to get a pin someday, but the amount of work and money that I see going into these scares me.

That is quite a story that goes along with that sale. Truth or evil genius plan to illicit sympathy? Hmmm....

I wonder how you identify an African Green Parrot as the one that was stolen. Maybe by it's vocabulary?Does it say "F*** the Nazis"?

The deluxe Afterburner was almost as cool as the deluxe OutRun.

Then again, maybe you're thinking of R360. You can buy one here for $18,500:

If I had enough room for that, I'd probably convert my garage to Ridge Racer Full-Scale.

Even more,  why would you go to a pet store on a vacation? Are you that dull? Are you that confident your parrot would show up in a random location?
