Battle Shark for $150 on Craigs

[SavannahLion]

Browsing my local Craigs, I spotted an ad for Battle Shark for $150. Holy ---Cleveland steamer---! Is that the Nintendo BS (pun not intended). With trepidation, I clicked the link and... doh! It's just the Taito cabinet. Looks to be in good shape though and the description of the monitor isn't too bad. Monitor is really probably blown and not even working.

Still, it's a nice cabinet. If I wasn't so dogged for space, I might've picked it up. That and I'm sick as a dog and it's guaranteed that if she comes home today and there's a new cabinet, she will kill me. There will be no forgiveness if I do ---Cleveland steamer--- like that and I'm supposed to be sick. I might do it for a vector or some other white elephant though. 

Don't these cabinets usually have the periscopes removed due to some defect or another? Or am I thinking of a different cab? I've removed the contact info, if you want to call him, visit the ad.

From the ad:

Full size Battle Shark submarine upright video arcade game from 1989. It has the periscope controls. The game functions perfectly, but there is a problem with the horizontal/vertical hold on the monitor. Game is set to accept quarters, but you can easily change it to free play. $150 or best offer.

Sweet !
I need to find some more deals like that closer to me. 

Like I need more projects, but sometimes it's hard to resist.
