I don't think the game will sell here but I'm listing it everywhere, Kijiji, Les Pacs, MAACA and Pinside except Ebay, so why not here.
Game works 100% and is in very very nice condition, some people who saw it a the Ottawa Pinball Show call it mint, the cabinet was restored and the black repainted (inside also) and what a job it was to make those stencils, legs repainted, every metal part on the cabinet and playfield were removed and soaked in Evapo-Rust to remove rust, dirt and give a nice shine, perfect clearcoated playfield, all plastics are nice and unbroken except for one (see pics), boards were gone over and ROM's updated by a technician, new locks on all three doors, new leg levelers, Anypin NVRAM added to replace batteries since these Rat Races all have the same fault, they use up the batteries in 3 weeks (I know, this is my second Rat Race and the other was exactly the same), original coin box with cover is included, I'll include a Joust manual with the game since settings in the game adjustement menu are similar to Joust, I also have a switch matrix and solonoid list made by a guy in California who also has a Rat Race and gave them to me, will also include a few spare parts, new spare ROM's and a display board (I don't remember if it's working or not), a bag of LED's are included with the game.
Game has been modified to play on a "cooperative dual play" mod, which means that you activate a switch on the coin door and you can play with another player on a real head to head basis, one player controls the tilt mechanism and the other player controls the tip mechanisme at the same time, it's truly a blast to play on this mod
I can pack up the game on a pallet for free but buyer must arrange shipping, or pick up is even better.

You should contact VFW with a pin with this low of a production run.
At least they would have the combined resouces to keep it up and running and available to the public (albeit once a year).

Cool piece of coin-op history. I'm sure you could contact Clay and he would be very interested in something this unique. The only isse is that he is not known for splashing out big $$$ on games... but you never know. If he's paying in USD then it may be more palatable for him.

I'd even reach out to one of the pinball "museums".

Good luck.
