Here's something you don't see everyday....unless you have one!

Picked this up at auction today for 300$. The glass top is done and the cpo's need replacing. I hope that someone can point in the right direction for the overlays. The player one control was not working all the way but after a pull and replace of the cable all is fine. Oh and the knocker needed a fuse.

It has the Gottlieb coin door...

It needs a little TLC but the cabinet is solid and it now plays fine. I love it!

Here are the rest of the pics....

Saw and played this machine yesterday. Glad it went to a KLOVer!

What are you gonna do about the topglass graphics?
 
I was wondering who bought that.

Gene at Vintage Arcade said "someone really wanted it"....

They only made 500 of them, and there is no repro stuff available. The glass rarely comes up for sale.

Here's a link to a previous discussion about this game and a pic of one with a nice glass on it:

This thing was on its way to the bone yard. The guy I was bidding against said he "just wanted the boards". I used to play one when I was a kid at a Shakey's pizza and have not seen one since. I guess I am going to have to pony up and get someone to vector the top art. If I can find some vector files for the upright cpo and bezel I don't think it will be that bad.

I also grabbed the Missile Command. ;)

I think it's cool you saved it from getting parted out. Hopefully you have some luck with the top glass. Q*Bert is a great game and worth the time and effort. :)
 
maybe you can get a scan of the glass and have someone re-touch it with photoshop and print out a new one on fresh glass?
