FS in WA Asteroids in Deluxe cab $300
« on: July 23, 2005, 04:24:22 pm »
Located in Mountlake Terrace, WA

I've got ahold of the guts from an Asteroids, but couldn't find a cabinet.  I ended up buying a water damaged Asteroids Deluxe cabinet.  The wiring harness is a little bit hacked, it needs the coin slot wires hooked back up.  Game is currently on free play.

Game plays fine - mirror, blacklight, LED start buttons and all.  Cabinet has water damage, mainly on the sides - looks OK from the front.  After getting it all back together I bought new leg levelers and white leaf buttons, all other parts are original.

I swapped 2 of the wires going to the yoke so it would display correctly with the mirror reflection.  Easy 5 second undo if needed, I even labeled the 2 wires that need to be swapped.

If no one wants it I will problably part it out since I parted it together in the first place, but I'd rather get rid of the whole thing in one piece.

Dang.
I just passed up a really nice non-working Asteroids cab in Portland, in favor of a 25" sitdown.

It had board/monitor problems, and needed to have the CP replaced/recovered.
The cab itself was in really great shape though.

I can email you the guys email address, if you want to see if he still has that one.
He was selling off a bunch of stuff in his garage, and sold 4 cabs after I left that night.
I'm not sure if the Asteroids was one of them, or not.

Do you know how much he wanted for it?  I'm selling it due to lack of funds, so even though it would sell for more in the proper cab, I don't have much money right now.

Oh what the heck, I could sell the Deluxe cabinet parts to get some of the money back.  As cool as the Deluxe cab is, I'd love to get the guts back in the right cab.  Let me know his address and I'll give it a shot.

$150, IIRC.
The cab had a little edge flaking, but no water damage that I could see.
The sideart looked really nice.
The monitor bezel looked nice.
The CP had the typical worn spot in the middle, that could be stencil painted back to life in a pinch.

Beats me.
I'm still in denial.
