Why would anyone do that trade? Metallica is one of the best pins of all time. Congo is nice, but not in the same league. Sell Congo and use the proceeds to buy your Met.

I'll probably end up having to sell the Congo first, but it's certainly worth a shot to see if someone is willing to make the trade. If you don't dangle the carrot, you'll never know. The reality is that it's a lot harder to find a restored Congo than it is to find a HUO MET Premium. If someone happens to be looking for a one, I just might get lucky.

You guys are absolutely correct. I never list a game without pics. The truth is that I could't find the f*ing charger for my camera battery. I have it now. Pics will be coming later today.

LOL. Well it is a great game and you likely have one of the nicest examples anywhere.

Side note: MET is still pretty MEH, so not sure personally what would posses anyone to dump Amy for a Met...
With a few LE Sterns already I suggest preserving some of the diversity in your collection rather than going more homogeneous.

You are in! I am not quite sure what makes us hipster, but I am rarely hip about anything so I will take it. I guess kids these days think it is hip to like good games....

Metallica is a great game but it would GO before CONGO!

I just uploaded some photos and attached them to the ad. A full set of hi-res photos can be seen here ...

http://s1097.photobucket.com/user/Pinsational/library/Congo?sort=2&page=1

Here's what was done to the game:

-Playfield stripped from top to bottom
-All metal parts both above and below the playfield tumbled
-Ball guides polished to a mirror finish
-Inside of the cabinet sanded and then repainted
-Playfield touched up and clearcoted
-All three flippers rebuilt
-All three pop bumpers rebuilt
-All mechs disassembled and cleaned
-Wire harness cleaned
-Lower playfield window replaced with a brand new one
-Both ball eject weldments replaced with new ones from Mantis Amusements
-Full LED conversion
-Custom color changing LEDs added to the inside of the volcano

The game plays perfectly. There are no broken plastics, and the cabinet art is original and completely unfaded.
