I am sad to see it go, but figured I'd offer it up here before asking friends or putting on the (shudders) craigslist.

Need to snap some pics. Cosmetically, I'd say around 85%. This is the one I drove out to CA and bought from Brian (XXI20) and it's really, really nice. Brand new aluminum CP/CPO, everything works except the "Psssh! Psssh!" sound when the player fires, and the monitor will sometimes go out for a little bit, but then always comes back on. Probably just a connector. Or fuse. :rolleyes:

Would entertain trades, although the reason I am selling is because I'm out of space. So I probably shouldn't trade. But I have the disease we all share, so...

I can deliver in AZ for free if it's close enough, or cheap if it's father away. Its space will be soon consumed by my incoming Space Wars. I'm giddy. :D Space Invaders used to be my "oldest game" until the Space Wars, which is 1977, so...

Asking $250 obo. Or tokens + turtles. Or other stuff. For God's sake*, I have a 32" CRT TV. Maybe someone has an older flatscreen/LCD/Plasma they could trade. I dunno. Hit me with creative trades.

* Typing "God's Sake" always makes me think of God at an Asian restaurant ordering rice wine. Is that wrong?

Pics soon.

I have a computer monitor that is covered in coca-cola now (thanks to this post) that I could trade :D
Tokens and Turtles he says... God's Sake...

Anyhow good luck with the sale.

I can't figure how the ship firing sound went out after I turned the volume down a little:eek: ...

Apparently it's a common problem with one of the chips. An LM-something or other. I have a printout at home that explains where and what it is... Could just need reflowing, too?

I'm half-tempted to restore this thing a little bit, fix the chipping at the bottom, find and change that chip, etc, but as soon as I decide to do that, it'll be on my back porch or in my shed forever. I need room and some disposable cash at the moment... :D
 
Dude, I really can't believe you wanna sell this already. Get the multi kit from Braze if you haven't already, that will make you wanna keep it. The game is one of the coolest looking classics out there.
