Have a line on a decent looking Xybots, mostly working. Owner says "Everytime we unplug it I have to take the back off and adjust the horizontal and vertical holds."

Thinking $150 range.
 
Fun Game, my Son loves to play it with me.
I paid $100.00 for mine, in known working condition. Was lucky it worked great. Whats the overall shape like?
 
check the joysticks! Your not going to find a replacement and I don't know if you can rebuild them. They need to center and rotate.

I would say $150 is a great deal, but the monitor issue sounds interesting.

Yeah depending on condition I think $150 could be fair. I wonder if it has the XM2001 monitor like my Blasteroids does. Atari used those monitors around that time, but the transformer (at least on my Blasteroids) has 120 and 100 volt output so it wouldn't be too hard to swap.

I was going to say it probably has that monitor in it. Vindicators and assault do too.
 
Thanks for the feedback. It looks like it's in good/VG condition. Some wear on the edge of the marquee assembly, but nice overall. Has the original joys, but it looks like something is missing from the center, maybe an Atari logo.

It's sitting unloved right now and the owner wants a MAME setup… Hope I can rescue it.
 
Dang, surprised to hear about the non-love for this game - used to be one of my faves. I'll have to keep an eye out for one at that price range.
 
Haven't heard anything back on this, so looks like I won't be getting it… Not that I have room anyway.
