Title: The John's Arcade search string landed me this...

Sorry for no pic... will update when I get a chance.

I setup the 'ultimate search string' in a Craigslist notification add-on for Chrome and within the first 10 days of having that set up, I got a notification for a machine that was 'just taking up space' in the garage.  It is a fully WORKING "Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf" and the asking price was only $40.  While not a special game at all, actually a pretty crappy game... the cool thing about it is that it is in a Track and Field cabinet.  The cabinet is in great shape, only a few nicks here and there.  It has no side art, but it is all still painted the track and field blue. 

So, I guess I am going to restore a track and field now.  Wish me luck.  :-)

SWEET! Nice find!

I just restored a T&F not too long ago! It's fun! If you have any questions, let me know.
