Quoted from AlexF:There was a Strange World on Rockford Craigslist last year for $200. I didn't pursue it. Rockford is fairly close but I knew at that price it would be gone quick.
And it was. I wasn't able to jump on it quickly enough either.
Quoted from hoov:Tell me if you see another one near us Alex!
That's another game I haven't had.
Pretty sure the line forms here. 
Quoted from boilerman:the only other title I want that I can not find is strange world...
they don't even need to be local I would ship a star jet and strange world but can't find them
So no luck on that one that was in Canada?
Quoted from o-din:Strange World $2499
orangecounty.craigslist.org link
yep, that's the guy and the one in CA. Still there. 
Quoted from Darcy:Looking for something like......this. But a lot closer, and in the USA.
Tease.
Quoted from ccotenj:true, they never pop up around here... i wonder where they all went?
actually, that is pretty much true for most of the "popular" wedgies... "we" (speaking for the jersey contingent) seem to have a reasonable number of gtb multi-player games show up, and a fair share of "fun, but not the popular" wedgies show up as well, but ones like "atlantis" are rather rare... for example, you can find target alpha's all over the place, but good luck finding an el dorado...
we seem to have a "reasonable" number of 60's wms machines, but not a lot... we also seem to have quite a few 70's wms games...
Several have been here. 
Quoted from Darcy:Take the one on the right. The one on the left has some lights out in the backglass. Unless the photo was taken when those bulbs were flashing.
Flashers!
Quoted from boilerman:there was a rancho listed on CL in md. a month or so ago. I emailed them but never got a response.
I bet they had a lot of interest.
I did save a screen shot of the pics they listed
Saw that one too. It was like $250, and looked nice.
Edit: Oops, more like $500 (the ad remnant can still be found via Google).
I will quietly continue to try and save as many "nice" originals from the clutches of over-restoration as possible...
With the availability of repro backglasses, playfields, legs, coin doors, plastics, etc, etc., you guys can just build new games, right? That's not so much restoration at that point as a new build anyway.
Viva patina!
Quoted from SteveinTexas:if you clean, replate with similar finish and fix all the missing or broken parts and getting the game to work properly again, is it now as new?
Can be, you bet. Certainly close enough, and not 'over done'. You do fine work, Steve, carry on!
