Originally purchased as a non-working project but never really got to finishing it. These don't seem to come up that often. The cabinet itself is in solid and beautiful condition (+ the elusive owl eye coin door), but will need to be cleaned/wiped down since it's been sitting in the garage for a while.

The cabinet is all-original and seems to be complete, and everything lights up. However, the PCB does not boot to the game, and instead boots to a white screen separated by a line with a repetitive tone. Suspect is either the PCB or the power supply.

$400 or best offer. Open to trades. Pickup in Las Vegas, NV. Will work with shipping as long as you arrange

I just got one of these as a project.....on Thursday.
Oh, the timing!

Can you take a picture of the inside of the back door? Mine is missing some blocking and I want to see how it was done originally.

Thanks and GLWS!

This should help; let me know if you need more pics.

Hmm. Looks like mine I think. Mine is only held in by the lock and 2 shipping screws.
How does that not fall out if the screws are gone? How does someone not easily break in?
Is there some detail that I'm missing?
 
I do not own this cabinet. But if you look closely at the second picture, at the bottom of the back door, just below the back door instruction sheet, you will notice what appears to be a number of staple holes that would've likely held a little one by two inch wood strip on that would've locked at the bottom of the cabinet so the bottom could not be pulled out and it can't be kicked in either because of the blockers on the inside sides of the cabinet. The lock then would hold it, regardless of the two screws that Atari cabinets have or are added to it.

Make sense? Don't know why anybody would've taken that off but I'd say it's missing, the one by two inch wood strip that would've been stapled there, half stapled to the bottom edge of the door and then overlaped the other half so it would grab the bottom inside edge of the cabinet. Roughly a little shorter than the width of the cabinet.

Thanks. That's what I would expect. A missing wood block on the door. But I'm on my phone and l didn't see staple marks. Mine had no staples but there is a "stuff outline" that could have been glue…50 years ago.

Thanks to you both. Now….somebody buy this game. It looks fantastic!

Yours might have never had the staples, just the glue. On the other hand, his might've just had the staples because I didn't notice any glue residue. I actually looked for it. Who knows what happened on the Atari assembly line with both of them. which in both cases probably made it a lot easier, perhaps, for that strip in the bottom to get knocked off maybe if somebody set the door down too hard after taking it off the back of the game.

Not directly, of course, related to this, but one of the upright centipede games I've had that I've restored the glass marquee on it actually looked like it was burned from the inside. Why? Because the fluorescent light fixture assembly that's behind it that also is part of and holds the speaker assembly has two screws. They are supposed to hold the whole assembly firmly in place into the cabinet. They were never installed. I could tell there were too tiny holes thrilled, but there was never a screw put into either one, on each side . So every time the game was moved, maybe laid down on its side, who knows, the light and speaker assembly actually worked its way to the front and literally the fluorescent tube was right against the inside of the marquee glass and it ended up sort of burning / cooking the silk screening artwork on the inside of the glass. It looked like it had been burned right where the tube was against it all because somebody forgot to put the two screws in that held the light and speaker assembly back into the cabinet where it belonged, several inches away from the marquee glass. Again who knows what happened on the Atari assembly line the day that game was made. Just some thoughts of mine.

It is a nice looking game. I might even have once considered buying it. But I have enough games and no more room for more. Mike here has enough..

GLWTS!
