(Stay tuned for pics...)
I just got home from picking up a HUO Asteroids. I am ecstatic! The seller won the game in an Asteroids tournament back in the day. It has a whopping 17 plays on the right counter, and 000000 on the left.
The marquee is mint, the control panel is mint, the front of the game is mint, the monitor is burn-less (but currently plays blind), BUT......
....It was sitting in the lowest part of his garage and took on water :( The lower rear panel of the game is rotted out, the sides are swollen about 5" up, and the base needs immediate attention.
Every other aspect of the game is PERFECT except the water damage......so what would you do? Would you restore it? Leave it as is? It kills me because the original art is perfect except for this damn water damage!!!
