Gravitar for sale - $750

Price reduced from $1200 to $750. Christmas special!

I bought this from a guy who bought it from Atari way back in the day and had owned it ever since so it's definitely home use only. This doesn't mean it's perfect but it's certainly very nice overall. There are a few small scratches low on one side of the artwork as shown in the photos. And a tiny chip on the front at the very bottom edge, also shown.

When I got it the monitor was not working. Turned out to be a 555 timer that had to be replaced. I went ahead and did the full bulletproofing on the monitor including the deluxe Bob Roberts kit and the extra parts kit that includes a lot of upgrades. I installed an LV2000 LT as well so hopefully it will work for many years with no problems. The picture looks great. I forgot to take pics of that but I'll add some later if anyone would like. I don't see any screen burn at all.

The coin counter shows just over 300 clicks. It was under 300 when I got it. That doesn't mean there weren't more plays though since you can credit it up inside by pressing the credit button without adding a click to the meter.

There's some cracking along the front edge of the CPO as usual. The front still has what I assume are the original locks and keys. The back door does not have a lock now and is held in with screws. What else would you like to know? Here's some pics:

The first pic is from when I first brought it home. The rest show it with the glass removed because I had just reinstalled the monitor when I took them.

since this gravitar came from someone @ atari..... just curious if it has a low serial #? the lower the number the mo $$ you will get :)

def cool that it came from a ex atari employee.
 
He actually said he bought it from Atari....he was not an Atari employee. But he did work in the gaming industry I believe. But not for Atari. I talked to his wife because he was out of town when I picked it up and it wasn't entirely clear. I thought I posted a pic of the serial number but just noticed I forgot missed some. And I can't make out what it says in the pic either. But I don't think it was especially low.

I probably should have dusted some of the cobwebs out before taking the pics!
 
Ok I zoomed in on the photo and can read it. It's serial number is URO5154. Not sure what that means exactly but that's what it says.
 
Would you consider tossing in the diesel case of Moon Pies to sweeten the deal?

:D


Great looking game and good story with it. Shes a keeper!
 
Haha it is stunningly lovely. A damn hard game, but one I enjoy none-the-less. Good luck with the sale! :)
 
Looks really nice...but...

Has the cab swelled due to moisture? Looks like wood peaking around the T-molding near the bottom?...

Maybe the home had an indoor pool? :D
 
I really expected some price police action going on at the $1200 price but you guys went easy on me. Very polite of you.

For better or worse, the price police have been banished. They have been replaced by the price cheerleaders, whose sole purpose is to tell you what a great deal you are offering and how they wish they were closer, even if your price is way out off base. That being said, $750 does seem like a fair price for a Gravitar in this nice shape.

About right.
I bought mine from EVB for $650 in similar condition,though my cab is in a bit better shape.
No chips other than at the base of the cab.
The side art is in about the same shape but my cpo is only starting to crack on the underside of the bend.
You can't see it from the top.
I still have to bullet proof the monitor though so that brings up the price a bit.
Well worth the $$
