Title: There's a really big Millipede in the garage! Post by: lordkahless214 on March 07, 2014, 04:59:04 pm No not a real one, just an Atari Millipede LOL ;D
After buying this beast a month or so ago it finally arrived today, 100% numbers matching, original equipment. It even has the manual and back door sheet. http://www.coinopspace.com/photo/img-20140307-122546 (http://www.coinopspace.com/photo/img-20140307-122546) It currently does not power up, it is just missing fuse F1, I already knew about that. other than that it does work but needs the usual Atari maintenance and rebuilds....

It was a GREAT deal John! Plus I can't find too many of these local and It was in such good shape I just couldn't pass it up. It pays to have relatives in the trucking industry. ;D There is a little bit of damage on the other side but it's very minor, and in the white area, It will be cleaning up nicely.

Title: Re: There's a really big Millipede in the garage! Post by: lordkahless214 on March 07, 2014, 09:12:20 pm it's normally very pricey to ship stuff like this, usually first cabinet is $500 with a 2nd adding an additional $50 coast to coast.
I didn't have to pay as much as that, but it's what you can expect if you ship that distance. How it works is the shipper or the buyer calls a trucking company (like STI/NAVL) and gives details to the company to get a quote. If you choose to move ahead with shipping the game/s, then they set up a date to pick up from where it's currently at, then they set up a date to deliver it to the new owner, most shippers accept payment upfront or C.O.D. I as a rule, do not ship games because it's often cheaper to buy local, in fact the only other game I shipped was Ms Pac because prices were so bad locally when I bought it, that I just said 'screw it I'm buying a new cabinet' so this Millipede was an exception to my rule, because of the price and condition. |
