Hi;
I have a very nice, numbers matching I,Robot for trade. I am looking for "rare" vectors. I am willing to include cash (if warranted) to make the trade happen.

Here are the details:

It's not perfect but numbers matching (ser#510) w/ 344 clicks on the meter and original coin bucket!

Work done:

Game PCB:
-Pulled notorious faulty RAM - replaced w/ sockets and installed new 4164 RAM
-Pulled notorious masked ROMs and replaced with newly burned EPROMS
-Ran power directly to the PCB as well as the edge connector to insure proper power supply

Rebuilt monitor
Rebuilt switching power supply (over and above)
Rebuilt Hall Effect joystick - (SUPER MINT!) - Butter smooth
New fan w/ vibration insulation for quiet operation
Refinished control panel - reinforced w/ fiberglass
Repo instruction cards
NOS Atari LED start buttons
Repo Atari cones
NOS leaf switches
Refinished coin door
Refinished "ears" on sides of game
Touched up cab

Game looks and plays great. As I said, it is not perfect, there are 2 holes on the right side of the game where it appears that a hasp was fastened.

There are some dings and such on the side art but still has the original luster.

The cabinet has a couple of dings etc. but overall looks really nice.

Here is a link of some videos of the actual game play:

Thank you for the compliment.

I did put a lot of work into this game but I just don't need to have two I,Robots in my collection.

Daaaaaaammmmnnn! That is a sweet ass game. Wish I had something to trade, but the rarest vector I have is ESB. Plus, your all the way up in frosty New York. Anyways best of luck on your trade of a beautiful game.
 
What's this game worth in condition like this?

Taking into consideration the amout I originally paid for the game, the money spent to get it to me, the actual cost of the materials that went ino the game, the hours and hours and hours of research needed to understand what would be needed to be done to bullet-proof the electronics and the scope of actual work preformed on the game, (read: over a dozen hours labor) well, to answer your question.........

It's worth whatever a collector feels it's worth.

I am still hoping for a trade to materialize - we shall see.........

How is that going?

I finally got the T-Molding - it's not going to be easy, really thick stuff. It's going to have to be heated in order to install it. (I have been putting it off.)

All I need to complete the project is the CPO and a monitor, should be no big deal.........Right?
 
All my hopes of getting my vector grail were dashed onto the jagged rocks below! Translation: It did not work out - so I am now going to offer my I,Robot up for sale, if anyone is interested.

Taking into consideration the time and materials that went into the game and that "working" I,Robots are in the 2K range, I was looking to get in the 3K range.
