Hello Julian,
I've got one as one of my ongoing projects that I may be willing to pass on as its not progressing (Busy with others at the moment) can I ask what kind of money are you looking at spending?
Bit of a brief description of mine bought as a non worker, from a chap that had it in his home for about 10 years, he wasn’t "even by his own admission a pinhead", no battery damage as far as I can make out, (But still in process of getting it going, who knows what will pop up?) remote battery installed, dot matrix board components renewed, Bridge rectifier replaced (I’ve not even turned back on since board work, must stop getting distracted!) but before board work there was a bit of life in her crane arm & death world rotated moved on start up, dot matrix showed signs of life, needs a good clean re rubber etc, etc... I believe it’s all there cabinet is in good condition, with usual knocks etc. but a little faded, I would probably prefer to keep it and get her up and running at some point but just thought I’d see what you think? As it may be a good starting point for you?
You’re welcome to come and have a look and make your own assessment.
Thanks Tony
