I am not necessarily looking to sell this game. But you know "everything is for sale"....I am going to try to answer private messages and give you more information on this Computer Space Ball. First, I am located in Southern Idaho. I acquired the game from a friend whose father operated a bowling alley. He bought it new. I played it when I was a kid. About 20 years ago I noticed it in their storage and he gave it to me. Since then I have stored it in my game room. We had some church kids come stay last weekend who said "Holy Crap what is that???" These kids are total gamers..they brought their own TV's and Xboxes etc... I didn't really have an answer for them. That is what brings me to your site VAPS, looking for history on this game. Very limited information on the internet.
Now, for the condition of this game.
Outer cabinet: no deep gouges, no cigarette burns, three super light surface scratches. No rub marks- looks like wax and go. Side button and pop bottle opener appear original and in working order. Knobs have very little wear, no scratches on the original screen cover. Looks like the trapped housefly has been there for forty years!
Inner guts: Looks like the black and white tv is right out of the early 70's even has rabbit ears! All the electriconics look to be original and untampered with- no extra holes in the cabinet, no corrosion or dust-looks like new in there. Coin mechanism looks like it has never been removed, even has the original looking 1 gallon change can. Looks like the original plug in-not even worn.
Paperwork: Haven't looked through it all yet, manila envelope with hand written "PONG" on it
looks like schematics, operating instructions, original bill of lading from 1972. Not sure what else is there- didn't really look hard.
I know I am not an expert in video games but my opinion is that this is probably considered museum quality.
Will try to post pics soon. Not really a big computer guy-I just build houses that go around the damn things!
But what I really would appreciate is education. That is what brought me to Video Arcade Preservation Society.Thank You for any efforts, Rick
