There's a really big Millipede in the garage!

No not a real one, just an Atari Millipede LOL 
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.

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....

Thanks guys!

It was a GREAT 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. 
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.

how much does shipping cost, how does that even work?

[lordkahless214]

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.
