A basement find! This game was given to a Photographer as payment for job in the early 70s. It works with full sound, lights and movement. It gives 2 games per quarter.

It's for sale and I will take the best offer made in the next 6 to 8 weeks. I have a price in mind and if you hit that price it's yours, end of sale! Even if you don't want to buy, could someone help with a true value? Glass is a 99 out of 100, case is 70 out of 100, game play is 95 out of 100. It may need a little adjustment but it all works.

You will need to setup shipping and insurance from the Dallas area.

This version has the original(?) tank, not the ray-gun. See it in action at the address below.

Thanks for looking,

Ben

Ben,

You're going to have to post pictures of the machine if you want anybody on these forums to even consider the game. And post it in the for sale section if you haven't already....
 
Did someone buy this game? Can we get some pics?
 
Okay... NOW it's for sale!

I will be posting photos of all sides, doors and inside as well. I should have everything together in the next week. Please let me know of any "special" parts of the game you would like me to photograph.

THANKS!!

Any updates? Is it still for sale and your "target" price?

This game is now on eBay!

My wife posted the game on eBay. It is item 250777969194. Detailed photos of both the inside and out will be added to the eBay ad tomorrow. (The photo in the eBay ad is NOT our unit!) Please contact me at [email protected] if you have any questions or want numbers or anything else the gane may have hidden inside that I don't know about.

Sorry it took so long to get this posted for sale, but I'm disabled and didn't feel well over the last few months.

T H A N K S !

Game "Special Parts... NOT mine!! (Ew)

HEY! I said "any special parts" talking about the GAME. I didn't say anything about "My" special parts. Trust me, I have NO special parts that anyone would want to see. They even make me a little ill just looking at them when I HAVE to and any photos of the implied "special parts" is just WRONG!

So special game parts... YES! Just ask what you need to see.

Not so special Ben parts... NO! NOT something you want TO SEE!

Trust me you'll be better off for it and have a much happier life. Like they say "Once you see something, you can't UNSEE it!"

Thanks!
Ben
 
It WILL sell!

We just got our opening bid of $500, so it will sell. I also posted 10 NEW photos on the eBay page so you can see the detailed condition of the game. Thanks for your help with a starting price and other suggestions.

Now I just hope it keeps on climbing! WEEEEEEE!

Did you know that the tank is not the correct aiming device/toy for your game?

Invaders From Outer Space has a large neon green/yellow Sci-Fi style Laser Cannon for the aiming device(NOT a tank like is on your machine). Someone took that tank from another game or a toy box and put it on your machine. You may want to make that clear in your auction as it would effect the value and could disappoint a buyer who assumed the machine was original with correct parts.

Here are some pics of the correct aiming device for this game:

Thanks for all the help!

The game SOLD for $850.00. It is going to a Museum in the Netherlands! The buyer bid in the last 3 seconds to take the game from about $500 up to $850!

We'll miss it. My wife had it in the basement of her house in NY for as long as she could remember (1973 or 1974) and we had it here in Texas for the last 14 years. I found the counter inside showed only 11,400 games played.

We're glad it's in a good home, but I don't think we'll ever see it again. *sigh*

Thanks again!
Ben
