No way to test this.  I'm not going to buy D batteries just to find out it doesn't work.  It would be great for parts, at least.  No reason it shouldn't work.  I remember playing it right before it went into a box for long term storage in a closet.

Please note that I ship on Saturdays after the sale is completed. My hectic and unpredictable work load typically does not allow me to ship other than Saturdays. As long as you pay by around 3-4 pm on the Friday after the auction ends, I'll ship on Saturday. I get a lot of questions about when it will ship and did it ship yet? It will ship on Saturday after the sale is completed. So if the sale ends on a Saturday it will be shipped the following Saturday. If that is not acceptable to you then please do not bid. Thank you for understanding and for looking. Happy bidding!
