                | I picked up the Battlezone machine from a guy about 10 miles 
                  north of me. The machine was advertised in the local paper for 
                  $75 cash and carry. I drove to the guy’s house and the 
                  machine was in good shape. The joystick had been trashed which 
                  is common on most of these machines. I bought new joystick handles, 
                  new switches, and new rubber centering grommets.
 
 This beast does have a downside, it’s a bitch keeping 
                    her running. I’ve been through a board set, power supply, 
                    and a couple of odd components. I have two spare board sets 
                    so hopefully I should be set for a while.
 
 I have loved this machine since the first time I saw it. Wire 
                  frame 3D, blowing up tanks, forget about it. The sound is also 
                  remarkably good for it's time. I think it's a keeper.
