Time to shake things up a bit. I've owned this game for probably over a decade with light use.

The positive:
  • Nice cabinet (with a few small issues in the black areas on the base). No fade. Head in nice condition.
  • Playfield in great shape. One insert has a slight issue. Saucer holes are good with Cliffy Protectors added.
  • DMD is solid with no issues. Clean boards and head.
  • Ramps in perfect shape.
  • Game plays great with no errors.
  • Plastic protectors added (with an extra not added)
  • Custom lane guides (look great)
  • Custom switch covers (came when I bought it), Key fobs.
  • 3x sets of sling plastics. You can never have too much!
  • Original manual.
  • Added ball stop (so you can lift the pf with the balls in it)
  • Pingulp
  • Cabinet protectors
  • Custom cards
  • Comet Fire SMD Leds (x2) for the Volcano (not installed)
  • Custom shooter rod (green gem)
  • Additional cabinet speaker upgrade bracket (for adding a bigger sub - not installed)

The negative:
  • Slight insert issue with "skill fire" and "kickback".
  • A few bumps on the cabinet.
  • A small imperfection in shooter lane (does not affect play only bragging rights).

Other
  • The game could use a light shop job and maybe rebuild the flippers. I never changed them because they have a great soft/worn feel to them which some people may not be used to.
  • Incandescent lights.

I miss mine. Great game. Pretty sure the leaves should all be green. Some of yours are blue so they faded.

Good eye as I just checked my Congo just now and leaves look pretty healthy green.

** NOTE THIS PIC IS OF MY CAB AND NOT THE ONE FOR SALE BY MONKEYBUG **

If monkeybug's cab with a bit of fade or blue leaves bothers you I will gladly sell anyone mines for $7500 but I only have one set of extra sling plastics and not 3 :)

Odd, I posted those pics and didn't examine them close enough to notice the colours looked different than in real life. Seems my phone likes to make it look more blue than it really is. When I was thinking of fade, I was thinking of a previous one for sale here that was all white (and I seem to remember that it was later corrected with a sharpie).

Here is a close up picture that is closer to what it actually looks like but still has a touch of blue. Maybe its something with the lighting or inks? Either way, let me know if you are interested and you can see the colours in person.
