I have an opportunity to pick up a Dart Star machine. It's an older one from 1989. Missing the monitor, but I did connect it to an old computer monitor and it does work 100%.
What's it worth??

Dartstars are quite reliable and was the first coin operated dart game to generate color video graphics. If you connect to the RCA video output jack on the gameboard, you can feed it to the standard video input to a tv set or VCR.

Set a dip switch and move a jumper on the board and it puts out a full color video signal.

Plus, via dip switch settings, you could use any one of three different dart game manufacturer's target heads: Arachnid, Merit, or Valley.

It also uses a conventional "Peter Chou" screw terminal power supply like a modern video arcade game does.

Wow! Great info. I was getting a black and white signal to my color monitor and just figured that's how primitive the thing was. The sounds are more even primitive than the ones I have seen in bars for the last many years...just a single-tone kind of thing.
I was going to pick this game up with the intention of adding a monitor (small TV), doing a little cleanup then re-selling it. Sounds like it's worthwhile.
