I just found a system with some games and glancing over to one title my heart dropped.  Felt like I got hit with a sledge hammer in the gut.  My hands were shaking and the sweat was pouring.  I have no idea how I pulled of the cool manor when I purchased the lot for $67.00

It happens folks, they are still out there...

I feel a little sheepish for saying I found a Music Machine in the wild 7 years ago for 25 cents....but I don't have the manual. Nice pickup!! Good  finds still can be had!

Yes, found this in a local Pawn Shop.  Pawn Stars they were not.  ;)

Since I prefer carts only this worked out great.  No box needed. :grin:
The condition is great with just a little fading on the end label edge.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments.  Now I need to find a nice shadow box for it. :thumbsup:

Oh, you would want this box, I believe only 3 or 4 exsist, you could buy a LOT of loose carts with the sale of the box :)
Still, a MM with manual, lets call it a MMM is pretty impressive for a pawn find!

That manual is very hard to find way harder than the game. I dont know the numbers but I would say 10 carts for every 1 manual have been found
