I'll take them. I work in Norwalk anyway so it will be easy. I sent you
email, no answer on phone. I sent my phone number in case you want me up
tonight.

Never let one die!

Although it might kill me. I just moved Destroyer from my truck to the
garage and it lives up to its name. Damn Atari 3/4" plywood construction.
That thing must have been close to 400 lbs.

You're all late. I am in my garage sipping Raspberry tinted vodka playing
them right now! Too bad they won't fit through the doorways of my house.

I am going to miss Jim in this area, wish I had gotten to know him better.
He lives right next to the college I got me first degree from (good party
parking). But I will keep in contact. I guess he will have to rename the
Cedar Rock website since he does not live there anymore. It was very cool
seeing an 18 wheel tractor trailer without enough room for his wonderful
collection. He does have some very nice classic games in beautiful
condition. I know one of my own when we go to slide the game onto my truck
and don't care what happens to the cord, switch, ..., as long as the side
art is untouched.

But you people out there in AZ are in for a treat. Great Guy Alert for all
those in his new area.

You know, I am fairly quiet but should send out some great guy alerts.

Jim Melcher
Scott Garon
John Overchuk
Scott Brasington (high score kit and things, awesome)

Do not hesitate to deal with these guys. And it is not just the vodka
talking, I usually drink Sam Adams.

Too bad. I had offered you a $100 for the Destroyer "if you didn't
have any takers" a month or more ago. I figured it could be worth
more than that to the right person, but that's what it was worth to
me. Would have been a long drive too.

Guess I should have asked again. I assumed you had sold it.

Hopefully it found a good home. I'd like to see that machine, I
haven't seen a Destroyer since the early 80s. Someone should donate
one to Funspot for all to play. A rare machine these days. Probably
not the greatest gameplay, but it's always cool to see a rare old
Atari machine. The artwork & control looked cool.

Hahahaha...

I already got chewed out by both this guy and jim for suggesting they
donate it to funspot...

I've never actually played the game, but it'd be interesting to try it.

Morons like you almost make it worth saving sent-mail.

For an arcade collector living in new england, I didn't think I'd need
to describe what Funspot is. So odd how you characterize a suggestion
as begging.

: (Sorry, he did disparage me so I had to wind him up one more time)

Yes, I did disparage you, because in your reply to my first email,
you (and Jim) found it necessary to disparage me for mentioning a
donation to Funspot. Then in your incredible wisdom you took it upon
yourself to accuse me of being an employee of funspot, and other
completely non-sensical things.

Perhaps I wasn't explicit about the tax-free status of ACGAM/Funspot
in the original email to you, but I most certainly was in my email to
Jim (which you apparently discussed with him), and in my followup
email to you.

Enjoy hording your free games.
