I am guessing it is a Blaster in one of those rare vacuum formed plastic cabinets - the name escapes me
but the date and the rare factor apply I believe.

If he didn't get it from exidy I have to wonder who around here he would have gotten it from.

He did get it from Exidy, it was just never part of his collection and just stayed in his garage.

John,

  I think you are running out of room! No you are out of room. You just had to sell Gyruss. After all that work. I think you should convert your Garage at this point.
