Zaxxon...Good Deal?
« on: May 17, 2006, 07:01:06 pm »
SO this saturday, i'm heading out to pick up a working Zaxxon cabinet from somebody on craigslist... It seems like a good idea cause its a working cab for 150$ and i enjoy the game. but it appears that it is missing the orginal flight stick and instead has some kind of bat-handle w/ top button.  Is this still a good deal even tho its missing the authentic flight-stick?



original cabinet

Hell yes! it's still a good deal!

Replacements for the flight stick are available from Happs.

Looks like a Congo Bongo conversion to me, but the cabinets look to be generally the same.

That bat stick looks suspiciously like the bat+button sticks on Wico Command and Conquer Atari sticks.  Betcha it's the arcade version of the same thing...  I'll take that off your hands if you're going to chuck it :)

$150 for working games is a great deal regardless. Heck, just the cabs can go for $100 easily if you throw in the coin door. Plus, your side-art looks to be in really good shape. Congradulations, looks like a keeper.
