Thanks Dave,
Thats great! As you say, If I can't find anything closer I'll come
knocking.
You would think that stuff like this would be easy to get in Tokyo's
Akihabara (electronic district), but I've scoured the place (and I
know the area well) and can't find anything like this. Most vendors
look at me as if I've stepped out of some time machine and say there
is nothing like that anymore. The Japanese are too consumer base, and
too easily discard the past. Try finding a Taito Space Invader
Cocktail here, almost impossible, but if you do you'll be paying
easily over $1000 for it.
