Title: Name this cabinet...
Post by: Jakobud on February 27, 2005, 06:20:56 pm
I will try to post pictures soon, but I have the opportunity to buy this cabinet.  This is the description of the sideart (wish I had a picture).  Perhaps someone can tell what cabinet this is.  There is a large futuristic spaceship flying through some rocky canyon firing lasers at some circular disc spaceships that are firing back.  There is a large orange sun at the top of the sideart.  At first I thought this was Xevious, but I don't think it is, looking at the original Xevious cabinet on KLOV.com.  Can anyone tell what this is?  Also, I see some Bally Midway stickers on the back of the cabinet.  No original instructions inside or any identifying marks.

Sideart is about 9/10 condition. It has been converted to Choplifter (which was only available as a conversion kit, correct?).  The overall condition is 8/10.  Little bit of water damage at the top, not much.  No water damage at the bottom. 

Screen looks garbled and the game is unplayable like this.  Could just be a loose connection somewhere.  Didn't see any burn-in. The game seemed to just turn off after 5 minutes.  Not sure what that problem is.  Can anyone give a hint?

Can anyone tell me what original cabinet this is, and what it might be worth?

that was impressive...
Figuring out what the cab was based off the side art description...
I've never even heard of the game...

Anyhow, well done.
