PRICE INCREASED 3XX !! air hockey , arcade strength – $2001! – $2001 (City of ratus norvegicus)
Oh btw rat city is an unincorporated area between seattle and burien, know for rats and various government programs that the initials spelled out RTC or something that looked like rat city, anyway that is for those who have just moved here from california or some third world country who have no idea of seattle folk legends. Well reducing the price didn’t work so I have decided to do like OPEC, and Safeway and King County Tax Assessor and GREATLY INCREASE the price. Get it NOW before the price goes up again!!!!!!!!!!! This has got to be CRAIGSLIST’S April DEAL OF THE MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Second price increase!!!!! Just discovered that Jimmy Hendrix & Curt Kobain once played on this table!!! Now a collectors item!!!! And J P Patches etched his initials into the siderails, but you have to look hard, no documentation on the above but believe me it is real, and Pope Benedict blessed this table when he was in Seattle checking out a new location for the vatican summer residence in Medina, anyway.
Air hockey table, came out of Seattle playland, 1990, still has quarter mechanism but converted to auto play, shuts down after win then restarts by itself in less than a minute. Three pucks, 2 shooters. Works fine, maybe needs one or two light bulbs. Very heavy. $2001 or some REASONABLE offer, really soon.
Bring YOUR truck and make it go today.
Thanks, and may the sonics enjoy there trip to Oklahoma.

TUKWILA – One man was shot to death and another critically injured at a party to help promote a book about rapper Dr. Dre early Sunday in the parking lot outside a crowded Tukwila golf course restaurant.
Police arrived at the scene shortly after 2 a.m., responding to a 911 call about shots fired outside the Foster Golf Links restaurant, said Tukwila police spokesman Mike Murphy.
There they found a chaotic scene of 200 to 300 people who had been leaving a party at Gordon’s on the Green at the Foster golf course. The party followed a book-signing by Bruce Williams and Donnell Alexander, authors of a book about Dr. Dre entitled “Rollin’ With Dre: The Unauthorized Account.”
Dr. Dre himself was not at the book signing or the party, but several other high-profile guests may have been, including former Seattle SuperSonics Gary Payton, Sam Perkins and Jerome Kersey – who were invited to attend, but it’s not known yet if they were actually there.
The party had been peaceful and orderly throughout the evening, said Gordon Harris, owner of the restaurant. But as the patrons were leaving the building, an altercation broke out in the parking lot and shots were fired.
Many of the people inside and outside the building panicked when they heard the gunfire. Someone kicked out the glass in a doorway, while others got on the ground or ran to the aid of the victims.
Additional police reinforcements were called in to help control the huge crowd at the scene and to help medics get through to the victims amid the mayhem.
Officers determined that five to eight shots were fired during the altercation and that two men were shot. Both victims were taken by ambulance to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
One of the victims, a 24-year-old from Renton, died from his injuries. The other, a 25-year-old from Skyway, remains in critical condition, Murphy said.
“We’re fortunate that no one else was hit,” he said, considering the density of the crowd and the number of shots fired.
As medics were transporting the victims to Harborview, about 100 people who had been at the party followed the ambulances in their cars and created a scene at the hospital. Some reportedly tried to climb into the ambulances as the victims were being taken out on stretchers, witnesses said.
Seattle police called in reinforcements to enforce crowd control at the hospital.
Police are still trying to piece together information about the incident and what led to the altercation and gunshots. All witnesses said the party had been a peaceful affair until it broke up and people were leaving the restaurant.
No suspects have been arrested yet.
Anyone with information about the shooting is encouraged to contact Tukwila police at (206) 433-1808.
Harris said some of his employees were shaken up by the incident. And he worries about the impact of the shooting on efforts to reclaim Tukwila’s image.
“It’s another strike against the city of Tukwila,” he said. “We’ve been working hard to change that image, and then this happens.”
