I have an Alpine Ski marquee that I've held on to. I pulled it out of a game in a warehouse years ago and have stored it in bubble wrap. It wasn't stored in a stack of marquees like we see sometimes. It is glass.

There are some hairline scratches, like the one in the white "N". Also a couple of specks in the black. No delaminating/lifting that I can see on the backside, but a blemish that's almost hard to even see in the light blue stripe (pic with reflection). Still has the black trim pieces.

I know Alpine Ski stuff doesn't pop up much, yet it's an oddball game. I figure shipping will run $15, packed so it doesn't break. I'm asking $55/shipped in continental US.

This is in excellent condition for Alpine Ski. I have seen several of these over the years and all were flaked and worn. Something about those colors that did not hold up well on the Taito games. FWIW I think your price is right on target.
 
I think it's fair, since if someone wants to make a collector quality game, it's a hard to find piece. Of course, the proceeds will go towards parts for games I have!

I had the game years ago, and it's kinda fun. I recall having to do the switcher mod to replace the dead p/s.

Of course you did. It's an early '80s Taito. :D

I own five early '80s Taitos and not one of them has a working original power supply. Four have Happs switchers and one of them has a Baby AT computer PS.

Dokert claims his Zoo Keeper is still running the original PS but I'll reserve judgment until I see it with my own eyes. :)

Don't be a "Hater", just drop on by and take a look. I will even let you put a meter on it just to prove that it is spot on +5.00vdc too.:cool:
