Who needs Asteroids when you can get a ...... Meteor !!
Level42:
Thanks for your help !!!
I totally agree, the sides are begging for that sensual lady :P
Can't wait to pick it up, but it will have to wait until the 17th....no time earlier :S
Will be my longest road-trip yet (3,5 h. one way), and actualy the first cab I bought abroad :o !
And IMHO I got an absolute STEAL on this :)

She's home and safe in my kitchen !!! It was my longest haul ever...7 hrs. of driving, 15 minutes at the sellers place. The seller is a trader and has a MYRIAD of classics.....too much to mention, but I saw an Atari Fire Truck but then without the seat (single player). It worked.
Much more that I all forgot about right now, it went too quick.
O and I played Missile Command (the arcade version) for the very first time in my life !!!! It was on a sweet little cabaret that looked near mint. The trackball badly needed bearings and rollers though. Still very nice. I was surprised how much it looked and sounded like the Atari 8-bit homecomputer version, then again it makes sense.
The separate base firing buttons are a nice extra, and this game just screams for that trackball control (that I never had on the 8-bit).
Anyway that MC was sold for €499,-.............
I'll put up a lot of pics about the Meteor soon. The good news is that we have neckglow on the monitor, the power supply voltages are good and (after inserting a missing 6502) it gives some start-up sounds...
The real cherry was at the bottom of the cab:
ALL schematics !!!! YES ! Game PCB-set, PSU, monitor and a "user" manual as well
That can be added to the Arcade Archive nicely since I think it's missing
