$50 !!  :o   (I had to giggle at the "$50 Firm" note)
I'd snatch that up in a heartbeat...... of course location won't allow it.
That one looks to be in great shape too.

Probably just a power supply issue and some of them old black and whites derived their board power from the monitor.
So it might be possible to cap the monitor and all will come back to life.
(of course this is speculation without actually working on it or looking through the manuals)

Somebody needs to grab that one up.

I sent the guy an email to see if he still has it. I'm not sure I'll know how to fix it, but if I am able to get this from him you can be assured it will be preserved to the best of my ability.

Update..  I did the deed guys.. I purchased this machine for a wopping 50 dollars. User said he has had it for years and he got it from an arcade vendor who told him the monitor was bad and that was it. He has never tried to fix it and has decided to clear it out.. I will try to fix it.. wish me luck!!

Wow, that's nice.  $50 was a great price, I would have paid 3 times that I think.

Excellent score. That looks like a really cool game. I could imagine some heated competitions on it.

I've gutted it already and painted over the sides with solid black paint. The board should be in the mail sometimes next week..  :laugh2:

Are you threatening me?  (I am Cornholio).

It's no longer a for sale thread.  The OP bought it.   :D
