Understood, Pinner.

OK, I am going to sell Gyruss and be on the lookout for a Missile Command cabaret machine starting on 2/2/12.

I like Gyruss too! Let's say you're in Colorado again, Bruce, and a mad man is holding a gun against your head. Do you pick GYRUSS or MISSILE COMMAND?

Fight!

Anyone who would pick Gyruss over MC is either mentally deranged or remembers them wrong from their youth.

Ok. I am efforting to make the switch in February. I gotta do this:

1) Pull the new monitor out of Gyruss.
2) Put it in the new cabinet I have for Zoo Keeper.
3) Put my current Zoo Keeper, which is a conversion, into the real Zoo Keeper as per #2.
4) Put the monitor I have with Zoo Keeper burn in Gyruss.
5) Sell Gyruss.

With CASH IN HAND, try to fund the purchase of either a cabaret or stand-up Missile Command. I'd rather keep all the money "in the family."

I'd play Gyruss, 'cause I kinda suck at Missile Command.

All right, the seller told me he has two MCs available. An average one for $500, a good/restored one for $600.

I am gonna try to do that thing where the hobby pays for itself. I have the following items I am gonna try to sell:

Gyruss
a Time Pilot board
a Warlords board
a Tetris board

I guess I should sell my Jailbreak PCB, since that requires the same setup as Gyruss/Time Pilot, but why bother. They go for $30. I'll just keep it.

If all that stuff sells I can probably make enough money to buy the nice MC.
