> Basically the one I "passed on" was more like I lost track of. I sold the guy an EM arcade machine and he told me he had the Orbitor & an extra playfield. He wasn't ready to sell at the time but told me I could have it for $500 once he got it dug out. Then I actually lost track of his contact info. So in a way - I didn't actually pass on it but it passed me by.

I was really hoping I would be able to hook up with the $500 guy at some point but almost a year has passed and I have had no luck. So now it is time to decide if I want to spend serious money for an Orbitor.
You don't. Its like the child you wish you had, willing to go through
adoption for the ideal one, and then find out it is not better and
likely worse than the one you have right in front of you. Enjoy the
machine you have, the one you just finished and can tweek and fine tune.
This unless you have to polish a turd. Seriously, its a fun game for
1-2 rounds and then it loses its luster very quicly. Leave the child to
die in the hands of a much more appreciative family, one in another
land, another time, the land of the lost.
