A local gentleman is trying to sell his Space Invaders Cabinet. I unfortunately did not have a camera to take photos but here is my initial thoughts.
Several issues with the machine. First thing I noticed on power up was a distorted image on the monitor. The guy who owns the machine reached in and hit the V-Hold and it cleared up. However it had stationary lines throughout the picture at roughly 45 degrees. Also the top left corner of the image was mushing in and out like a sine wave. The graphics themselves had vertical drop out. So basically you could see black lines and they cut off about half of the image. Also he drilled out the lock for the upper rear door, and broke the lock housing doing such.
The art looked fairly good. It could use some touch up on the sides and the front panel. The glass looked near perfect. At first I only saw the reflected image from the monitor, but upon checking inside, thereflective glass was dirty and the moon and the space background was still in place. The florescent light was lit but very dim. Also the green translucent film was also still in place. No manual was found but everything else seemed to be there. I neglected to jot down the serial number off of the plate. The CP has the standard wear and tear, but mostly legible. Where your hands lay have been basically rubbed to metal. Its a well played cabinet.
One coin mech worked, the other didnt, it appeared to have something jammed into it, but was fixable. Coin reject buttons had rust on them. Coin counter showed 70069 plays.
If I had the space I would definitely take this home. I have room for the cabinet, but not room to work on it and make it mint. If anyone is interested in this machine PM me. Its located in Bloomfield, IN. I have the guys phone number and will give it to anyone who is wanting this.
