What is worth?
Even just the case would be worth buying, right?

Thats New Zealand dollars.
1 NZD = .70 US cents.

I don't know how much it's worth, but I'd pay a lot for that. So many fond memories...

It's not worth a huge amount with all the original hardware missing..... but nobody can have a go at you for Maming it either if it's in that condition. The artwork looks OK but it's hard to tell from those fuzzy pictures. At that price I'd buy it.

The hell they won't! That thing is in great shape. I'd pay that price for it without hesitation and I would throw angry lobsters on someone for MAMEing that piece of art.

Then throw your angry lobsters at the person who currently owns it and has ripped out the Star Wars controllers and shoved joystick and buttons in there.. riped out the Atari XY Monitor and stuck a raster monitor in there, ripped out the game boards and stuck SNES in there... etc etc etc... In that condition the case is ripe for being a MAMEer. As long as doing that doesn't do more damage to the original case.
Restoration of that lot would cost more than going to a dealer and buying a complete working cab.

A pox on the person that converted it!
:angry:
Considering the condition, I would Mame it with only Star Wars games...
But, yes! Buy it!

I would throw the lobsters at them. At least they've done it respectfully in barely if at all altering the cab. Still, it's a Star Wars cockpit, the holy grail of many a collector, and deserves to be restored fully.

Yes, it would, and I would pay it ten times out of ten. Lacking the funds I simply wouldn't buy it. Some cabs deserve restoration no matter the condition and this one is very, very, very good.
