There is somebody on ebay selling a Mystic Marathon control panel on EBay (link). Not trying to price police here, but for that price, a little truth in advertising should be in the description.
1) it is not complete. There is no wiring harness attached to the joystick or the buttons. If anybody buys it, they will have to do their own wiring.
2) The buttons are wrong as is the joystick. The MM kits had Wico 8 way leaf joysticks and leaf switch buttons.
3) The joystick color is wrong. The MM kits had a light blue joystick the same color as Bubbles and the blue Joust stick.
4) The CPO looks like a reproduction. The giveaway is the black. It looks to be an inkjet with polycarbonate laminate like you would get from GameOnGrafix and other repro vendors.
5) The control panel looks to have been a Robotron panel converted to something else one or more times, with holes filled and redrilled.
As I said, I'm not trying to price police, but when you post something that could be mistaken for an original part, you should at least own up that it is a reproduction. You can ask whatever you want for it, but I have had several people ping me about it already and a couple of them asked if it was NOS. If they were to pay that much, I would expect it to be NOS not a $75 build out of repro parts.
