Title: My Biggest score of the YEAR & its 430kg
Post by: Biomech011 on January 10, 2013, 09:26:14 PM

Story goes,

This fully functional Afterburner Deluxe has been held on collateral for 2+ years.
My buddy calls me & says "you know that game you keep bugging me about?
Give me $600.00 & get it outta here!"

So I got it outta there!

Original owner simply abandoned it & moved.


Loaded this beast was not all that fun, but the simple rush knowing that its mine helped.

Unloaded & ready for cleaning.

A few other shots. (Pilot's motions says it all.)

Plans are to clean this BEAST, & start Scanning all the art work for Full Restoration later down the line.
Right now i'm just going to enjoy it for a bit.

I know its only January, but I am clearly almost outta room.
Like I said, My biggest score of the year. I'll never score a deal like this again.

Can I get an AfterBurner deluxe Roll Call?
Want to talk to you guys about restoring some art work.
I know polderarcade is working on one.

Monitor looks great.

....and so does the artwork doesn't look like it needs replacing.....

Congrats very cool machine....recently played it again at Nozomi's party. I still think I am totally out of control when playing it but what the hell, it's fun :)

Your cheating you truck has a tail lift  ;)

Art work is in a great shape I think mine is worse

One small note the art work on the front (airplain and sega after burner  text) is very sensitive when cleaning.
Every time I clean it whit a towel I notice the red paint on my towel so on mine I put clear cote over it to protect the art.
