I have like 6 of these from various games -- Tempest, Space Duel, Asteroids Deluxe, and I'll have to pull the ##'s from the transformers for the others to be sure -- all are from vector games and all were working when pulled -- the cabinets they were in all met the same fate -- water damage -- and were parted out years ago. The Space Duel and I think the Tempest one are both missing the fuses as I have been cannibalizing them for other games as needed.

I'm tired of storing these -- any interest?
 
Yeah, I'm interested in the color vector ones but shipping them kills it. You can fit them in priority mail flat rate boxes but you must put some sort of styrofoam sheets or something on the bottom and pack, pack, pack peanuts in there to keep them from shifting one little bit or the box splits. You also have to really heavily tape the priority mail box. The post office hates these because they are so heavy and I know they throw them around in the back because they hate to ship them. I'd rather trade for them if you want to go that route. Otherwise, local pickup might be best for somebody closer to you.
 
The transformer assembly for the color vector games does not have pins at locations 12, 14 and 15 of the 15-pin output connector while all of the other versions have pins in all 15 locations. I rebuilt two vector bricks that were making the spot killer kick on for about $15 each, really easy to do. Bob sells big blue which is black and the bridge rectifier. If the fuse assem is missing or damaged he hs a kit for around $20+ or so. Worked like a charm!

Just an FYI

The flat rate boxes that I've been able to get from the post office are about 2" too small for these to fit into properly. Sure, you could "make" them fit, but given the weight of the bricks and the rough handling you just know they would be subjected to by the happy people at the USPS, and it's a recipe for disaster.
