the only way your gonna pick up that legend is to look for the shityist wank seaside arcade (try southend, skeggy/chapel/mablethorpe hunstanton etc

) and offer to buy it off em. this is the bit when the pikey comes out of the manager and he thinks he see's a good thing ,, he will come out with bullshit about how the summer season is just starting and that the rat race alone will take 4squilion quid this season alone, at this point you could argue that if your shithole premises is really earning that much, why havent you got paint on the walls or a new carpet (notice its the law in seaside arcades to have a fag burned carpit thats cunningly patterned so that if you drop a quid you have no chance of finding the fucker) but this can lead to him putting the price up further ..... its market value is about 65quid but he will want 600 ....... whats it worth to you? ,,, i would happily pay 200 for such a classic ,,,,, good luck
ps there is a place i know in leicester that will workshop it for you for about £40, cause the chances of you finding one with all lights/buttons/mech working are slimmer than horseracingking finding a pube,
pic please gambo for nostalgia

finding a working rat race is going to be sheer folly i reckon , your best chance other than some cunningly carpetted arcade that time forgot would probably be a private collector, and he probably wont want to part with this relic of ......................"the glory days"
hrk thought he had indeed found a pube .
then he pissed out of it

This is standard practice for all arcades everywhere the fag burns just make life even harder

gambo ,gotta love your response time. under half an hour to dredge that one up,superb.
back in the g.d's the first game i could empty was called cobra (bwb i think) if you got the first gamble you used to hammer the button as fast as possible and get jp (almost) everytime.
i know its a big ask but could you get a pic of this one?
