After over a year of reading about everybody else finding great deals, and admittedly, feeling more than a little envious, (not to mention frustration over US Amusements shutting down) I finally scored a great deal myself… a fully working Gunsmoke for $50.00 delivered from across town!!!

Game is very clean, no water damage, no dead bugs/animals or trash inside. No cigarette smell. The seller owned the game for 15 years and it shows that he took care of it nicely.

The game just needed some tweaking on the monitor to stabilize the vertical hold. Now it's working 100%!

Interestingly, this Gunsmoke only has one fire button. I initially thought that whomever originally converted this machine, installed only ONE of the three fire buttons (there should be North, NE, and NW) out of laziness.

But when I play the game, the machine automatically fires in whichever direction the sheriff is facing. I've never seen another Gunsmoke like this… is this a well known revision?

Hurray for great deals!

the conversion could be built in 1 of 2 ways.....1 fire button and sheriff shots in direction he is going or 3 fire buttons.
Find a manual on line and it will explain.
 
Interesting - All of the Gunsmoke's I've seen prior to this one had 3 fire buttons.

Using only one fire button seems weird, but I'll get used to it. Maybe one of these days I'll change it a 3 button version.

I'm considering new control panel stickers... I think Nocashvalue had those.
