Awesome! Looks like you will have no problems passing it along, if you ever decided to.

Great looking machine. Is that the same TV used in Computer Space? It looks just like the one I saw John working on in his repair videos.
back then they didn't make the wiring that safe, congrats on the score.
What's the coin bucket look like?
One question, is yours showing 11 - 11 on the attract screen, because mine always starts at 1 - 11, and how could both players get to the winning score on the same game?!?
More eye candy. Even the original plug is in good shape.
11-11 on powerup, Then just stays on the last score after a game. Goes up to 15.
Well mine only goes up to 11. I studied the picture you posted of your pcb, and mine's identical *except* for location G8 where mine has two rows of three separate solder points, whereas yours has two of those points bridged on both rows. I'm guessing a switch was supposed to be put in there but they cheaped out (or ran out of supplies - I don't know). Either way, I'm going to bridge those same spots on my board and see what happens whenever I get some time. I'll let you know if it works...

Ebaying it would be the only way to tell for sure. However I would probably think it to be worth something in the 500 to 600 range.
Just to follow up on this for the sake of posterity, I did do the modification to my board and soldered those aforementioned points together, and, lo and behold, my Computer Space Ball now plays to fifteen too. But my attract mode still starts at 1-10 and stays that way until a game is played, so I don't know why our two games differ in that respect.
But anyway, putting a switch on the pcb at location G8 would allow one to switch back and forth between eleven or fifteen points needed for a victory, but I'm happy with leaving mine set at fifteen for the rest of my days...
It's worth way more than $600.
How much? Hard to say but I'd guess a lot more.
I'm also thinking about trying to find some tubes (hopefully not too expensive) for spare parts, just in case. Is there a way to identify which tubes I currently have?
