Bummer, man. That was a hell of a deal. I would love to have seen it go to a KLOVer.

How much was it? I don't ever see those listed on Craigslist.

$300. I had the link in the original post but here it is again. Not sure how long it will last. If someone wants to save the pics you better hurry.

I guess your fighting the urge to go get it so bad that you aren't clicking the link to see its been deleted...... I don't blame you, if the ad was still up I would call and offer more money for it without a doubt unless I knew it was a member here going to pick it up.

Ummm, Johnny-boy it's already gone. See above post.
I only bought a DK mini this entire year so I didn't do all that bad. But I bought a lot of PCB's but there not full sized games so they don't count.
What happened to the Joust cocktail?
Well.. it s me who snagged Both =)
Price drove up to 900 and i convinced him that i ll pay 700-900 but had to test first to confirm..
drove there and he met me in public with two cabs and i inspect and found there is no drawer nor laser disc player which really disapointed!!!..
i told guy I aint gonna pay anything like his asking price.. he went back to house and looked for the parts and finally found all parts together including the missing plug! =)
laser disc player was jacked up on wires.. i hooked up to the wires and hooked up two cables and fire up..
NO PICTURES and no sounds eitehr!!!>. told guy.. that s another issue.. so we talked about the price and dropped to 600+40 for the deliver price.. so he walked with 640..
it took me few hours to figure how to hook it up and finally space ace titles show up !!! but has bad static looking and powers down!!..
i found out that ribbon cable from player to the converter got pin bend so i try align but fuked up! broke!!!! so i put this on hold!!..
question here..
static??? because of that pin?? or it s player that need some cleaning!!.. i do see the disc has minor scratches on it.... very minor.. no major?? possible reason?????? i know this should be in tech thread FAQ..
anyway im dropping lines here and THANK YOU JEUHINE (no hard feeling) for driving up the price! but glad i got what i want!!.. i was first person to contact him (saw the post 2 mins after he posted) and he plan sell me 500 for both but then somehow he just texted me and said someone made a good offer for both.. this is where i had to counter offer and told him i ll match whatever he wants and glad he honor my wish because i was first! ..
Im very happy to have my first cinematronic in my home!!!! =)

Congrats on the pickup. I'm confused though....you paid $600 + $40 delivery right? Wasn't that his original asking price anyway?
well really he said he want 900 for it. i almost backed out but i was like fuck it and ill invest if i have to !!.. so we met and i talked him down to it!!!.. if it wasnt your idea of "CALL EM UP and offer $500 buckaoss" I may get $400-500 for both instead of $640=) so u owe me lunch.. KIDDING!.. on the side.. thanks

Awesome deal! I want to come by and see it, I haven't seen one of these in years. I'm also glad it was a member here that got it and not some asshat that might hack it or make a multicade out of it. Honestly, I don't think it was anyone here that drove the price up, I know I didn't even see this whole thing until after the ad had been removed from Craigslist.

There are plenty of hacks and multicade makers here too... they just don't always own up to it.
Congrats on that score....sorry to hear the price changed but it sounds like you still got a sweet deal. Does the Space Ace have a converter card on it or is it original?
If you're not into Crystal Castles, then strip that badboy, and convert it into an Agent X or Cloak-n-Dagger. You can still find boards for it, can certainly buy the updated control panels and speaker grill assembly. Artwork (ahem), that's a big mystery, especially for us on the waiting list.
enjoy.
