hmmm if there's 2 cabs, I'm up for a roadtrip.  First round of Redbull/Mountain Dew is on me    ;D

Interesting that it has to be a TX person.  SpaceCadet are you a columbian, looking for a new transportation route into TX?  Just make sure you put the "package" in a NARC cab for irony  ;)

Well it looks like it is falling through, but I saw 4 cabs on ebay yesterday that did not sell.  They were being sold in two pairs with a $99 reserve for each pair, 200 total.

They were:

Quote
This auction is for (2) 1980's Video Arcade games. "ZAXXON", and "ZARZON". Both are not working, and are being sold as-is. "ZAXXON" has a loose joystick, needs the pin, and the wires are loose inside. There is a small shielded board loose inside, but hooked-up. Other than the top back missing it looks complete as far as I can tell. "ZARZON" the top cardboard bezel, that fits around the monitor, as well as the controll panel are inside the machine, still hooked-up. The plexiglass around the monitor is missing, and there are a couple of schmatics inside on the bottom. I can see slots on the left wall, no connectors though, I don't know if it's complete or not.

I'm running another auction of (2) Arcade Games now, "Dog Patch" & "Mr. Do!". If you win both auctions, all (4) games will fit into my pick-up, or can be picked-up here at once, saving on shipping.


The Mr. Do and Dogpatch were in same/similar shape as the others.  I really wanted that Zaxxon, but cannot get away to get the cab.  Was thinking if someone wanted the other "Zarzon" I might be able to purchase both in exchange for delivery of the Zaxxon.  I f that person wanted the others they could buy those as well.

I just offered the seller 45 for the zaxxon and he turned me down, but I might be able to press it for two at 100.   I could meet someone a few hours outside of atlanta to ease the burden as well.

I just put in another feeler to the seller.  Let me know if anyone is interested in pursuing this.

Offer Accepted

Guys,

My last offer was accepted and my offer still stands.  I will purchase both cabs and give the Zarzon cab to whoever can truck the Zaxxon within about 5 hrs of Atlanta.  I can meet there and get it the rest of the way.  The cabs are in Amarillo Texas.

Any takers?

The person also has a Mr. Do and a Dogpatch cab in similar shape if you are interested you could purchase those while there for a song.

Any takers?

Guy got weird when I asked for some specifics about the cabs.  Never mind.  Thanks.
