I'm a novice in pins and arcades and 3 new projects arrived for me today....
1st was an asteroids deluxe, plays but looks terrible...owner said he replaced mirror with glass and window film...not sure what was supposed to be there. Cardboard background was hanging down and the back door was falling off, none the less it did play. Set for free play and coin door is missing, some of the buttons light. Control panel is missing most of the design, side art is liveable, not good but not as torn up as It could have been.
Star Castle is the second game, I think the monitor is blown, black smoke residue on tube and back of bezel, huge burn in monitor. Can't get the back open so I have not seen inside. Side art is ok for it's age and does not have water damage. Owner said blows fuse as soon as power is applied.
Armor Attack is the 3rd game. I peeked inside the back and noticed a very poor cord repair. Owner said it's a fuse blower too...at least the tube looks better than Star Castle.
Are these machines worth fixing as part of my personal collection or good for resale?
I checked out some of the posts on the site about them....
