Re: Black Widow question

Hey Now!! Don't be picking on Wyoming - I grew up there.

I bought an NOS Black Widow kit about a year ago. I replaced the ratty
control panel on mine with the NOS one, as well as the sticks, and marquee.
BW sideart was in excellent condition, so I still have the un-used art,
roms, extra wiring, etc. Nice stuff.

Hey Jess - you haven't been to northern Wyoming have you? :-) Warehouses
still abound up there. I have picked through a few - but lots remain. That
is the good thing about living in this area. Hardly any collectors, the Ops
don't know about 'eBay' prices, and there are lots of deals to be had!
