Seller says it is complete, just doesn't work anymore. Asked them how much they wanted for it. Heard some background talking, then the guy said $100. It's only an hour away from me. I didn't get any pictures of it, but should I go take a look at it? If it's in worse condition than I expect, they would probably take less.

My last $100 arcade site unseen was a Roadblasters that only needed some minor monitor work.
 
Only if you like the game. I used to play it a lot BITD, but I also remember being very frustrated by it...

I'd only go $100 nonworking if it was cosmetically very pretty.



It's probably just a fuse. :rolleyes:
 
It seems to me that zaxxon cabs are hard to find without damage, if I came across one i guess I'd spend 100 on it
Good luck!!
 
Well I went for it. It is complete and plays blind. The sideart is all there, but could use a little touching up if I was picky.
The only issue is the monitor. It only has a fine line going up and down. So either fix a cold solder joint and/or a cap kit should fix it.

Dang, I was to late. I was going to recommend offering $50 for it or $100 if he'd let you just take the monitor.

Oh well. Good luck enjoying it. :)
 
Does the H.O.T transistor come in the cap kits???? collapse like that is usually that...100 bucks for a complete zaxxon is sweet....I want one some day...sux on the multicades.
 
First I will have to see what monitor it is. Too late tonight, but I did see a tag that said 100 volts so it have me thinking a Nanao/Sega MC-2000-S 20" monitor??
