Looks pretty good. The fade on one side of cabinet hurts more than anything I think. The volcano plastic does not appear to be broke which is a bonus and it has the red proto boards if that tickles someones fancy. IDK, I don't think you are setting on a goldmine or anything.
Quoted from Kwaheltrut:Doesn't everyone play with one flipper pointing up?? (Sarcasm)
Yes, don't let these turds give you a hard time. 
Quoted from metallik:The condition of the eject saucers shows pretty low plays and the coinslot wear is minimal. It might not be home use "only" but it's barely been played for as old as it is. I'd say it's worth a bit more than a regular Congo (which IMHO is way overpriced for what gameplay it offers) based on prototype (no light tub!) and low plays.
Yea, the saucers and shooter lane look super mint. If it did not have cab fade he could get top end Congo money.
Quoted from Kwaheltrut:Maybe I need to get better photos. This is the only Congo that I've ever owned so I can't really compare it to anything other than what's online. In person, the sides don't look faded to me. The sides of the back box are pretty much gray, but not faded.
The blue grass on the one side of your game is fade. It used to be green.
Quoted from RazerX:This cab is not faded on one side. The color difference is intended. I also have a proto Congo and the cab looks just like this in terms of color. My backbox is actually a No Fear head though, which looks kinda cool IMO.
you are dead wrong sir. It was never meant to be blue on one side. I have heard stories of congos being in No Fear cabs though.
Quoted from Kwaheltrut:That makes sense. It seems like the one side is definitely missing the color of the other side. I guess there's about a 50% chance of one side being faded versus the other in a room where light comes from one side.
exactly
