***SOLD*** 1983 Star Wars Arcade Machine Version ***SOLD***

***SOLD*** I have a 1983 Atari Star Wars arcade machine for sale. It's in excellent condition. The screen is flawless, the speakers are loud (sometimes too loud, for me at least) and the cabinet is in great shape.

It used to live in my office at work however the company was sold and it is now living in my basement. Although it's fun to play, especially when friends are over for drinks etc. The wife says it has to go.

I looked on E-bay and the stand up units seem to be selling for ~$2k+. The one cockpit version is going for $10k. I am looking to get $1500 for this, I can be flexible on pricing but the buyer has to make ALL shipping arrangements if the buyer isn't local. Local being the Washington DC area.

I know this is my first post here, and it will probably be my only post/posts here, I just wanted to sell this thing and figured I'd at least try to find it a good home. Somewhere it will be appreciated.

I am also going to post it on E-Bay and some Star Wars forums.

Please feel free to e-mail me if you're interested at [email protected]. I can send you additional pics, video of the game or answer any other questions that I can. Just remember, I am not an arcade nut and won't know anything about what it looks like inside, boards or any of that stuff.

Year: 1983
Manufacturer: Atari
Name: Star Wars
Class: Coin-Op
Sub-Class: Arcade
Genre: Shooter
Monitor Type: Vector
Color: Color
Orientation: Horizontal

general description
Released right during the peak arcade days, Star Wars still remains a favorite among collectors. You play Luke Skywalker during the attack on the Death Star. There are three different piloting phases of the game: space, battling Tie Fighters, attacking the control towers, and then finally the approach. Use the Force Luke, and you will get extra bonus points.

You will have this sold quickly if your description and condition are accurate.
Good luck with the sale!
 
Thanks man, I really hope so. I've been getting an earful about this thing for weeks now :p

IF I had the space to really be able to keep it, I would. I also know they do sell for a lot more, but it does need to be gone sooner than later and I'm not really all that greedy since I myself got it for cheap since my boss needed it out of the office when we closed up shop.

And like I said before, I know I'm a first time poster with no references, so I'm more than happy to take additional pics/videos etc to help with the sale. Hell, if there's a local member that wants to check it out and to play it, for a potential buyer, I'd be fine with that too.

The more I post about this, the sadder I get though. I'm really starting to wish I could keep it *sigh*
 
Good thing I don't have the money because that would be sitting in the middle of my living room floor. To hell with the wife!

Rock on...
 
Wow, I guess I posted this in the right place :D

I've gotten e-mails from several of you and I will go check my PM box now, I didn't see a PM notification in my e-mail for some reason.

To be fair, I will be responding to everyone in the order I was contacted in. And then if that person flakes, I will move to the next in line. Also, I was asked to take pics of the inside for the first person, so I'm posting them up here as well in case anyone wanted to know/see as well.
 
This is behind the door where the coins go:

Same place, but further inside:

It's dusty in there!
 
How do I get to the back of the monitor? The only opening I saw was the coin slot place? If you give me some instructions I'd be more than happy to take the pics though. We need to do it soon though. I'm going to be headed out to a Superbowl party in the next hour or so and won't be able to take pics etc until tomorrow night after I get home from work.
 
Did you sell it? I want another one :D!

You!..........

Lol, you guys are funny. If I were more in to arcade games this would prob be a fun forum to be a part of.

Are any of you guys on E46fanatics.com :p that's generally where I usually hang out online.

Also, i got an e-mail telling me this was not priced well. I know it's too cheap, I prob should have posted it for more. But I won't go back on that now. Fair is fair.

Also, I really do want to make sure that whomever buys it will actually love the damned thing and make sure it's maintained properly (something I wouldn't be able to do) and that it gives many more years of enjoyment to people who love it.
 
Took more pics for buyer #1

The CRT tube Screen:

Damn. You don't see these everyday. Too bad I just bought a sit-down spy hunter and have a star wars upright. I cant believe the game is for sale this long. It better sell soon before I break down and take it. Seriously.
