I need help!! HELP ME DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH MY SPACE ACE!!

I cant make up my mind on what I want to do with the Space Ace I just picked up. I need help deciding. Heres the deal I am not that big of a fan for Space/ Dragons Lair type games. I am for sure going to get this up and running but will mostly likely trade it for two games I really want. If I got it working, what is it worth as it sits cosmetically with a slightly swellled bottom(should be a easy fix if restored). Should I fully restore? If I fully restore it its going to be hard for me to let it go. What would you do. Would you keep it and play it as is or restore it. I am taking offers also on trades when I get it up and running. Here are some pics after a quick clean up.

I knew this was coming. You don't seem like a Space Ace kinda guy.

Don't get me wrong it's a cool concept and a bad ass looking game but I grew up playing stuff from 1990 and up. There are so classics I really like but the gameplay on these types don't do it for me. I mean for god sakes one of my grails is revolution x

I played games from the late 70's thru the 90's and I still don't like Laser Disc games. I'd restore it and sell it.

I'd really like to fix it and trade it as it is cosmetically. If I restore it I'll end up keeping it because it will be pretty to look at
 
Hmmmm if it's not your bag. Make it work and sell it off, or just sell it off. Or you could make it work, play it for a bit then sell it off. Should you decide to move it. I would think it would move fairly easy. It looks pretty good really.

I liked both SA and DL. I liked DL a little better. But Borf is a good bad guy. Both very fun games.

Hmmmm you are not horribly far from Des Moines.. :)

Revolution X, really? Just kidding.... ;)

I'll drive there if you have something nice to trade but of course it would have to be a fair trade if I get working fully. Ha you have a mk2 and an area 51 which are some of my other grails
 
If it was DL I would really think about it. But not for Space Ace. I have limited Arcade space. Thanks for the offer Sir :) It will be a nice one when you are done.

MK II goes nowhere! ;) I may part with 51 someday... will bear that in mind. :)
 
a guy in my area had a mkII for 175.. working and a Revolution X for 350..working..
so you shouldnt have a hard time finding that junk..I mean.. super awesome bondadge cop
future shooter with a... NON coke addicted band..as a side... oh, never mind.

ha ha

ha im actually getting a mint rev x the week of thanks giving and going to look at a mk3 this sunday, my other games i would consider trading for is mad dog mccree(bad ass laser game), dedicated area 51, killer instinct dedicated, cruisin usa dedicated, virtua fighter along with virtua cop would make make a good trade, house of the dead, Jurassic park, time crisis, star wars the original and maybe a trilogy
 
Man, I'd love to have that Space Ace, it was my favorite laserdisc as a kid. I'm near St. Louis so its not that far. Unfortunately, out of all my games that I have I don't think I have anything that you would want to trade, except for the Star Wars which I already pried out of Phetishboys hands via a long road trip up to Minnesota; that ones a keeper. A few of the others that I have at http://www.thebasementarcade.com/mygames.htm are also keepers, but I would trade a good many of those for the Space Ace.

I have been thinking long and hard about this and I am going to fully fix it and play it for awhile and in spring full do a ground up restore on it and keep unless a killer trade comes up before then.
 
I would love to have that !!! I fyou decide to sell let me know!!!

If i do sell it ill have it fully working first and probably want around 800$ for it, if i fix it anf ully do a ground up restore ill probably want around 1,500$
 
If it wont float your boat, fix it then sell it. I had a Dragons Lair once..

I might fall in love with it after i fix it and play it, who knows? I am ordering the parts to fix it this week and hopefully have it fired up and working next weekend if everything arrives before then
