Man, that's my wife's all-time favorite arcade. The closest I can get to one is a mini christmas tree ornament for her . I'd get one even if it were non-working.
How easy would it be for you to come across a burgertime, too?
I finally got mine last month. I have one of those lightpens from a forum member here on the way, too. Next, I'm waiting on the new cart that takes memory cards. Then find a collection of overlays and I'll be set. Until I find plans to put it in a mini cab .
Oh yeah, there's a demand. Just ask Longhorn how backed up he can get. If your buddy can offer just as awesome of a product, but not be weeks behind, he will be on top.
