Spoke to the guy
I just spoke to the guy..
The A.B. machine has no laserdisc player, no laserdisc, and he says it looks like some of the wiring has been cut..
Wasn't very helpful and didn't want to open up the back on the other two machines. He said that the monitor on the A.B. works but the Star Trek is blown.
I guess if someone really wanted a A.B. project it is a good deal...if you can find a disc and player for a decent price..I always thought it was a pretty lame game..LOL...but for that price it would have been a good one to fix up and resell if it was complete
If someone local picks it up let us know how it turned out!

Hmmm..
Yea..he told me he had looked in them..oh well..guess someone will find out soon enough..
Like I said..none of those machines interest me..I had an A.B. machine some time ago and literally played it maybe twice...the thing just bored me..and the cab is nothing special...
Since the Star Trek is a vector I don't want to put any money into the monitor since it would probably be expensive..and the game sucks...LOL..
Maybe the guy is smoking crack and all three of them just have a loose wire or need a new power supply or something...that would be SWEET for someone here on KLOV to get it and then find out all three were just simple fixes...haha
I know the cabs look really rough...I didn't ask if they had an damage or water damage issues...
I don't need ONE other project right now...let alone THREE
Good Luck to whoever gets it!!

i already have a nice AB the parts from this may help me get it up and running. i think my NTSC board is bad. i would love to have the star trek but the third game i don't think i need. we will see if his story changes in the morn, when i was on the phone with him he said he missed two more calls. may turn into an auction. thanks!

Three games like that for $80 each is a steal. Of course the Star Trek isn't going to be working but the parts alone are worth hundreds of dollars. It's a no-brainer deal.

Did anyone here pick these up? I talked to the seller the night he posted them and made arrangements with him to come up the next day. Called the next morning and of course never heard back from him. I hope someone on here got the deal.

Well...a bit pissed...
I was the first person to call the guy and decided to pass on the stuff..then after thinking about it I called him back that night and we made arrangements for me to come look at the machines at 9am the next day. He said since I was first to contact him he would give me first dibs...anyway, he said he would email me his address that night because he was "just sitting down to eat dinner"....never heard from him again. Left a message that night and the next morning...
I have a feeling somone offered him MORE than his asking price and he let them come and get the stuff...which is no big deal to me because like I said I got enough projects going on...but I hate when people just stop communicating with you...really bugs me
If someone DID get them let us know how they look and what you found out once you popped the backs off...??
Thanks!

Yea, sucks that the seller did that to you(myself included). Probably wasn't smart of him either to leave his cel number in the ad. lol

Ha!
LOL..that's true...who knows HOW many calls he got...haha!
I just want to know if someone from KLOV got it because I know they will restore them to their glory days...well, at least I hope they do if they did...

I'm sure..
Well..I am sure WHOEVER got them is giving them a good home! I hope at least a "laser fan" picked up the AB and will restore it to its former glory!
Many laser games are becoming extinct pretty fast...OR its just hoarders that have the stuff!! LOL...
