First off I have to say thanks to ArcRevival, Hatrick and Mylstar for helping me make this project a reality!..Originally I was going to acquire all the parts and build one these things..but ZfCamaro talked me out of it and Arc's/Hat's unit was still available..so the purchase was made..Many weeks later the unit was prepped and shipped from Idaho to Maryland! An 18 wheeler cant fit into my neighborhood so I had to have the unit dropped off at the local hub, which wasn't too far away..maybe 40 minutes. The bezel was painted over for some reason?..so enter Mystar..he had a minty piece packed up and ready for 2 months waiting for me to get this thing in my arcade..so once it was loaded into the arcade he sent it out...Anyway here are a few crappy pics I took with my Iphone...."Grail Acquired".....

i knew i should've bought this thing but i didn't have money at the time and now that i have the money i don't have the time.

<sigh>

Nice pickup! You don't see Sega vectors too often, but they're *great* games. I got to play Space Fury at Richie Knucklez' this summer. I'd love to pickup a Zektor.

About 2 years ago ZfCamaro had a working Zektor and Spacefury sitting right next to each other in his arcade...probably the 1st time and last I'll ever see that sight!

Too cool. I hear his arcade is pretty sick!
 
That's why I gave you a hard time about trying to build one... This one was dedicated, complete, WORKING, and it was a grail of yours. I wasn't going to let you NOT buy it.

You are much braver than I when it comes to the Vectors, Yes I had the Space Fury and Zektor side by side and it was great and all. But when those things break it's a pain. Congrats my friend, I'll be playing that soon.
 
This is a really cool game, and actually became the source of some confusion for a buddy and I. I had kind of forgotten about it and my buddy (also confused) was talking about a simultaneous 2 player version of Star Castle.

I found it again by looking through the vector games in MAME. Once I found and played it, I remembered seeing it somewhere the past as well and also how all these years later he could have blurred Eliminator and Star Castle together.
 
It's great to see the game in a good home. I'm always nervous when shipping a game across the country, but I'm relieved to see it arrived in good shape and working!

Have fun with it!
