Okay, I finally have to concede that I just don't have the time to restore this thing. It's taking up way too much space in my wife's study and she wants it out. There really isn't too much work to be done, mostly retooling some aesthetics. The mechanicals are all intact and working. There is some minor wiring that needs inspection/repair in the scoreboard as that isn't registering 100% but that shouldn't be difficult either, especially if you can find a schematic for a similar unit (and they're out there on the net, I could probably help find it). I just don't have time to finish this off the way it deserves to be finished.

I can help move it within reasonable driving distance and I can't ship it. Any reasonable offer to buy or trade for it will be accepted.

Move to Wisconsin, then I'll buy it! :)

Oh Chad, I'd be down there this weekend for it if I only had the space. *Sniff*...

No kidding. It's a wonderful machine... who knows, I'm seriously thinking of building a 10x16 shed in my yard where I can have my arcade workspace... if I do that then this machine is going nowhere, though I'm not sure it will really fit in the basement area I plan to finish and make my room of doom. not along with the vf2 cab.
