yeah you know its bad when you've got a photo of the side taped on the front just to remind you what it SHOULD look like !

6: What is that white powder everywhere - is that bad for my health?

7: What does this pot/knob/button do? BANG!

8: Panic and check forums - find a smug smiling avatar from a man called Ken Layton that knows more about monitors than you on a thread that makes no sense, but it appears to be the language called English.  This avatar can be found on every thread on KLOV, there infact is no exception, he is everywhere and knows everything about everything on every thread, it's frankly a wonder of modern nature.  I have no problem with this very knowledgeable and helpful man, but I always think he's smiling at me because he knows something I don't, and that makes by bum hairs itch a little when I read....but after the 10th read....oh I get it....and the knowing smile looks like a nodding wink - well done Ken!.

9: Look up flip/flop   people keep mentioning a flip flop, my choice of shoes is nobody's business.

10: Consider quitting the hobby, look at the mess in the house.

11: Watch a John's arcade weekly video, get the bug all over again and go back to step 1.

The white powder is just an illegal substance, the mystery object that can be pushed or turned is likely just the self destruct button, he's knowledgeable and also probably watching us here... smiling..... his pearly teeth perfect, so perfect they reflect light in a dark room..... flip/flops are none of my business, quitting the hobby i haven't even started yet XD

Stage 4 Depression

Stage 5 Acceptance

photos? ive got a camcorder and no one has done a full on "get your hands dirty" restoration project of this and posted it to youtube. I'll be posting photos too don't worry Smiley

Very anxious to get it in ive been waiting ages for a machine to work on. Also im going to be preserving the backglass art so i can get a replacement made if it ever gets broken again Smiley safety first and all that.

Well the has been sealed. Went ahead and picked up a replacement backglass for it and its being delivered friday. Gotta admit thats pretty badass.

lmao I know this post is gonna get some views. *shakes it*

Ok Ok im sorry

Getting serious now, I might of negotiated a for a Atari Airborne Avenger "sorta" working. Apparently the lights come on and cycle its a board issue. I'll figure it out. Someone broke the backglass though like completely smashed it so gonna need to replace that but all and all its 300 bucks and im snatching that up man. NOOOO way im letting that go.

Also going to be calling and haggling for a roadshow tomorrow. Gonna try to haggle down the 2,500 price tag shipped to my door. I wont get it done but im going to try.

Hopefully I can snatch that atari though I WANT THAT to be my first pin

I don't own a tapper. though those are kind of neat. hey if your not already a tip would be to put these up for sale on etsy. there fees are better than ebay.

That's a great idea.

also easier to handle sales of it too, anyways glad i could help. You have an interesting product.

mr_rampage is an alias not my normal screen name. Why mr_rampage though? Simply because i felt like picking an arcade kind of name for an arcade forum.

yea 4k is obviously a lie, however that does seem to be a remarkably well preserved EM. Then again i didn't look super hard.

Congrats on the pick up. Smiley
