Actually, he is a container guy who brings in tons of machines. Word
around here (South Florida) is that the supply is getting thin, and
more "project" games are coming up from Latin America, particularly
Argentina. So, my guess is that he either cannibalized this one to fix
others, or bought this one cheap to fill up a container. We are
starting to see more oddball stuff as the supply of newer Williams
games become harder for these guys to find. Starting to see Bell
Games, Mr. Do, Zaccaria and other stuff, tons of older populated
playfields and other stuff. Condition is all accross the board and
guys who know what to buy can do pretty well, as the container guys do
not seem to know parts values on older machines, for the most part.
