Quoted from whthrs166:It really depends on the humidity, how the game was handled, and how it was stored. All ?s that baby has been sittin for a long time. Its really common sense: When you open a NIB game it is moved inside a dwelling or business where the temperature is controlled and there is a roof overhead. A game in a box is kept in many different places moist concrete basements, storage facilities ect... The bulbs and holder rust and filaments go bad.
The bulb sockets may get tarnished but how would the tungsten filaments "go bad"??? They're in a vacuum.
