Finally joined the club, maybe a tad sooner than I expected but a machine popped up close enough in fantastic condition, so I jumped at the chance... took the Aerobarge / Retardis on a pre-weekend day-off road trip...

Funny enough, the trip took 7 hours... but after I unhappily discovered that WPC wiring is a nightmare and removing the pf / backbox was probably an horrible idea, it took almost that long to get it down to the basement (single interior stairwell) in one piece!
But the confusion, surprise, and shocked delight when my girls heard the Attract Dalek shouting from down there, unseen, made it all worthwhile
Game itself is in amazing shape... was stored the last 15+ years, so the cab and pf are almost perfect. While it shows some typical time expander wear, it's all very serviceable and won't be seen with cliffy's. I also had to devise a fix for the 3-door daleks to reset, but that was simple.
I don't know why this game gets such a middling rap... there's so much to do, so many targets, and that damn "O" ramp is not easy to make (for me anyway). Frakking lightning flippers!
I still need to tighten the outlanes (they're WIDE open) for the kids but looking forward to exploring all the strategies meanwhile...
