Black Widow up for trade. Was a Gravitar. Game plays fine. Everything is working. Monitor display is good but probably will need to be recapped. No screen burn. Joysticks are still tight. Marquee is perfect and light works. Bezel is perfect. Will need new cpo but control panel has no dents or dings. Start buttons are good and light up. Coin doors are straight. Bottom coin door has surface rust, nothing major. Right lower front of cab has some water damage. It's manageable. It doesn't go up as far as the side art. The right side of cab is broken off next to the control panel. But the inner part is still there and has no flex. So with some body filler it will come out nice. The cab is very solid. The floor of the cab is strong and has no water damage. Sideart is good on the left side, some of it was peeled off of the right side. Back door is missing.

My original intentions was to restore this one as I really like the game but I'm really looking for a Dig Dug, Stargate, or Tempest. Others will be considered, so please let me know what you have. I will trade plus cash to even things out. Or the other way around for projects. I know the parts are worth more than the whole, but I will not part this out. Local trades only please. No shipping.

Pics are as clear as I get with the IPhone. I have more pics so please email me for them.

Thanks for your time!

, Bill

i just got a black widow and i really like the game. the one issue i have is that the controls are so low as opposed to robotron 2084. i am so used to the robotron setup. its also more noticeable cause i have them 2 next to each other.

bump for a great game.
pic of robotron next to black widow, notice difference in joystick and cpo height. i would say robotron joystick about 5 inches higher.

Your Robotron has the wrong joysticks.. I dont even know how you play it with those sticks:confused: You should have 4" red ball top sticks on the Robotron..

these are competition joysticks. much better than those old round robotron sticks to me. the original sticks are always breaking or hanging up. when i built my robotron my guy recommended these to me and he installed them and i am happy with them. the black widow is still lower than the robotron. i know alot of klovr like to keep theirs original, but i dont mind changing things a little. i have some classic cars that came with 8 track radios, yanked those out and put in a modern radio (of course i saved the old radio and wiring).
same concept.

Got to disagree with that one.. I had original sticks on my Robotron Mini, and joysticks like yours on my multi williams. Hands down the original joysticks kicked ass over the others... Wasnt long before I changed the multi williams to 4in robotron sticks!!

Maybe you needed adjust the leafs on the originals..
