Hey guys. i know someone local to me selling an original Asteroids with very nice side art, awesome looking glass and bezel, mild screen burn but other than that looks great. However not sure if it works or not, still need to find out more. Looks just like this one>

And he also has an original Donkey kong but it needs some work. screen was rolling real fast (could be an adj.) sides painted black, some cab dmg. cracked cpo etc.

Anyways this guy wants alot for them but is listening to offers. i offered him $300.00 for both, just not sure whats a good price. Im gonna assume they both need work.
 
my area is pretty much like no one around buys arcades besides me, and tis guy has had them for sale for like a year lol.

he had $1200.00 pricetag on asteroids lol.

How tough is monitor repair on a factory monitor in an asteroids? Its black and white right? Ive succefully tackled a g07 Rebuild, WG4600, and some sanyo Ez's. How is the B&W compared to those?
 
Just depends on which monitor is in it. 19V2000's & G05-802's are pretty easy to work on, and the G05-801 can be a little finnicky
 
300 for both? The DK board is worth 100+ alone. Why oh why are games with 10 times more when parted out..
 
Well i talked to him tonight and he swear asteroids works great, and thinks the monitor just needs adjusted on the DK. He told me $350.00 for DK and $400.00 for asteroids. But i still think we are too far apart. DK needs stripped down and there was alot of cab gashes on the sides. so i dunno. maybe he'll go less.

also was kinda scary ......the DK was turned on in his store, with the screen rolling, sitting unattended about 6 feet out from the wall with the door off. I had to tell him he better put that door back on before some little kid walks by and puts his hands up around the anode. :-O !!!

The key in this whole story is non-working on both games and or needs repair

BTW correct me if im wrong but,

If a game has been out of route for a good 15 to 20 years and hasnt had any maintenance done, then they all need work of some sort right?
