AD Cocktail in The Ho - Not Mine

Man, I must be getting old. First I pass on a $150 Robotron mini and yesterday I passed on a $150 Asteroids Deluxe cocktail.

Anyway... if you're interested in an AD cocktail...here's the listing in the `Ho:

Monitor needs rebuilding...needs feet...and some cleaning (at least).

How could you pass on a $150 Robotron of any size?

I saw this shortly after he posted on CL and called. Got his answering machine, and have not heard back. But what do I need with another asteroids anyway have 5:eek: Did you talk to him? It has no feet?

Yeah, I talked to him. Guy seemed "clueless"... said it worked but the monitor would go dim after a few minutes...said the "sides of the screen is squished as well"...

He finally called. it sounds pretty sad. Sounds like monitor and possible board problems. He is going to send me some pics:eek:
 
I meant 6th...

Asteroids was my favorite game as a kid. I would go to 7-11 and play all night on one quarter. Deluxe I was not that good at. Anyway when they pop up. I usually get them. If I can get them working and put them back out, I feel that I saved one. Dont know just really like them:eek:
 
Maybe I should drop by and take pix for you?


That would be cool, if I dont get pics soon, I would owe you one;) Made a deal with him unless, its total trash. The monitor goes dim he said. and the image is streched. but im not sure that he knows what he is looking at. Im more worried about how the cab, panels, glass and underlay look. I have a spare AD PCB and can rebuild the monitor chassis. Not sure how hard it is to find a BW 13in vector tube?? He said it had alot of burn. I asked if he noticed the burn while playing. He said he did not remember. He has had it for 5 years, You would think he would know that.

Someone in Oregon just listed a NOS 13" vector monitor in the for sale forum. :cool: It looks a bit dusty, but the dust isn't baked onto everything like one that has been on.

yep, just double-checked the manual and it's a 15".

the Battlezone cabaret takes the same GO5-805; i'm not sure if they can be found anywhere else.
 
Here is some pictures of my new cocktail. He delivered it to my parents house. I think overall it will clean up pretty good.
