I've got a lead on a Space Invaders cocktail table. Wondering if any of you guys could ballpark a value on this item. It's the Midway version and I'm told it's in pretty good condition, but haven't seen it yet. Thanks -S |

Space Invaders, Space Invaders Deluxe or Space Invaders II ? About $250-$400 from what I could find searching the groups, if you're talking about Space Invaders II (looks like a Pac-Man cocktail, not like a Taito/Atari cocktail) I'd say less for the older versions. Warning: Just like Pacman and Gorf, the artwork was painted on the underside of the glass. This means 2 things. First, if the glass was scracthed, you'd have no way to transfer the artwork. Second, people scrached off a lot of the black above the control panel, and/or a lot of the art gets damaged from simple movement or the hot/cold cycle from use or (improper) storage. so even though everything might be in good enough condition, you'd spend a good $50 on a new piece of glass if it's scratched and then an untold amount trying to replace/repro the artwork. Now if that is in perfect condition, then you've got a very good deal. The rest of the cabinet is easily fixable and NOS replacement parts like control panel overlays I still see frequently on ebay and don't go for all that much. The B+W monitor might be the hardest thing to find an identical replacement for if it is failing, but you probably could do a tube swap out of a consumer TV set just like color |

It's Space Invaders. It's my understanding that it's the same as the one pictured in this flyer: **edit - took out the super large picture** -S |

Oh, I neglected to mention that this is a fully functioning machine in good cosmetic condition, not a gutted cab that I intend to MAME or anything like that. Also, how easy is it to locate the boards for this machine? Just in case something breaks, I'd like to know if they pop up on ebay all the time or if they're on the rare side. -S |

Nobody else has an opinion on this? I'm going to take a look at this in a couple hours. I was kind of hoping for some more input. :) -S |
