I know have two working Asteroids machines and one has a Rev 1 board (No 1979 at the bottom of the screen and hiding behind the score at the top makes you invincible) and the other machine has a new revision.

I am going to only keep one of the machines. Which board should I keep? Is one worth more than the other?

Thanks,

Chris
 
I would buy another rev 2 board for the asteroids your selling, and keep both the rev 1 and rev 2 boards. The High Score Save will only work with rev 2
 
I think you should keep the board that is suppose to be with the game...meaning the Rev 1 would go with the owl eye coin door one.
 
I didn't think the hiding in the score trick actually worked. There is a fun trick on the early revision boards though (the ones that say "ASTEROIDS BY ATARI"). If you thrust full speed down or left, you can spin the ship around backwards while holding thrust, and you'll fly backwards. Then when you shoot, it looks like you're laying mines, as the bullets just sort of hover. Not terribly useful, but still funny to see :D
 
I picked up a asteriods deluxe last week, I had forgotton how much fun that game is. Yesterday was the first time I have played one in 20 years
