Site to find value for 1971 "The Stripper" arcade game?

[jtslade]

My father-in-law has a good condition, working "The Stripper © 1971 UPI (Universal Products, Inc.) machine in his shop.
Problem is I have no idea where to look to figure out how much it is actually worth?

Anyone have some ideas about it's value?


Any help would be appreciated...

Have you asked the fellas at KLOV?

If anything they'd know more about this. Much of the community there are serious arcade traders and collectors.

Wow, I remember reading about that game but have never seen one.  Those games tend to be heavy, so the value may be restricted based on a buyer's ability/desire to ship.

What's the joystick for?

I'd MAME that cab as soon as I get my hands on it. 

[spystyle]

That's so funny I also vote "MAME it"

You want to know what its worth?  Ebay it, what people are willing to pay for it is what its worth.

Does he still have it? Would he sell it? I'm interested in buying that game.

The real question is if the Popeye cab is for sale... Arizona brethren?  Is the Popeye still up for grabs?

The Popeye is always available. Who's got the yayo?

I could point you to a half dozen guys who would probably buy the thing, but you would do even better putting it on ebay and letting those half dozen guys and the 2 dozen more I don't know bid against each other.

From its KLOV page:

Owned - There are no known instances of this game owned by one of our active members.

Wanted - No active members have added this machine to their wish list.

Since none of them want it, I say MAME it.

It looks like a prime candidate for a microwave cart. 

Or you can stick an xarcade on there with a Sony TV and get $1000 for it in NY.  There is a market for it apparently.

Since it consists of an 80-slide carousel, I would think to MAME it that you would have to image capture all 80 slides and then build some interface to replicate the cross hairs and red-bulls eye dot for the game play?

Yeah updating the girls slides to something more modern would be a good idea.

The slides inside of it have faded so.. better yet would be to recreate all of the stripper images and get printed to new high quality slides. I don't remember if the Carousel was 80 or 140..

After reading the flyer, it actually sounds kind of cool.  Neat use of available tech of the era.

[RickSky]

Do you still have this game? Forsale?

Guess, everyone alredy has a Popeye after all these years...Howard is right, this thread is like Titanic old.

only if the right people see the auction.
