Ok more like rocks and spinning. Scored these three partial machines from Craigslist. They are all missing their PCBs (which I have) and one G05 (which I have) and the 6100 boards (which I have). So it's actually a way for to get rid of stuff. Getting three machines so you end up with less... priceless!

In the background you can see three 19" TVs with A48 tubes inside I picked up on the way home for free. What a day!

I'm done acquiring for a while. The Asteroids and probably the Tempest will be for sale once cleaned up, completed, tested and working.

Nice score. It seems Asteroids always comes in twos and threes. I had three at once. Nice owl eye door on the one.
 
Awesome pickup. On the one with the owl eye coin door, does the bezel have white or yellow instruction text on it? Mine (owl eye) has the yellow text.

I am extremely happy with my Asteroids. Its in really great shape and plays wonderfully. Congrats on grabbing those plus the Tempest. Kudos on having all the parts on hand, too.
 
Did you check the serial numbers on all those parts?

Maybe you are reuniting them!

:D

In a way you are...
 
We did/are but until we sell the house I'm leaving my location as Baltimore. It's not that far (but maybe far enough to remove temptation?)

The owl-eye has the yellow text as well as some wood grain on the inside of the back door. I think I'll transplant my Ast/AD/LL into that cab.
