Thought I was out of room. Must have been the old jedi mind trick that made me drive 380 miles today:eek:

Whoa What a nice CAB!!!! Hope the game and monitor are just as nice. I would have done the same thing man. Good Deal?
 
Just played my first game. Dam its hard. I suck!!

Does anyone know if they actually made a dedicated Jedi Cockpit. The guy said it was dedicated but im thinking it was converted, it has the mounts for the amp deflection and HV. the serial tag is gone.

I really want to restore this machine and put star wars in it, but if its dedicated im torn.

Here is another pic. I have some wood repairs to do at the bottom. I will prob tear this all the way down and restore it.

You didn't damage the cab not putting something between the strap and the cabinet?

Sent from my android phone

Nope:) only damage done in transportation was the seller transported the machine to a border town across the canadian border for me. He didnt want the coin door to flap so he duck taped it to the cab. It lifted about a 4in by 1/2 in off the side art, its in the black area so I think I can touch it up.
 
Yeah they made dedicated ROTJ cockpits from SW shells left over.

When I was 18 I played on a super rare/pilot/proto/whatever ROTJ cockpit that was the same shape as a SW cockpit but was covered in entirely ROTJ artwork. It was white and not blue based.

I tried to find it after i started collecting but it was long gone. I know of one other UK collector that remembers it. The liklihood is that it was an Atari Ireland model - and then super rare as all the others i've seen were the standard blue artwork.

It sucks, as I would totally love the game, or to at least know it was saved and is safe in someones house.

Nice score there Dan. Congrats mate

If it were me I would convert it's ass ASAP to SW before you remember it was once something else

Nice condition too, better than my one for sure.

All the best, I will be looking forward to the resto :)
 
You know what to do with it now.:D

Yes it will be a Star Wars once again. trying to decide what to do with the Jedi stuff. I have a empty upright Star Wars cab I could put it in, or just part it??

I saw that machine on eBay for $600 - if it was in NorCal I would have purchased in a heartbeat!

How much did you wind up getting it for?

Someday I'll find one, someday.....:(

I paid more than his asking to canceled auction. Then I paid him to bring it across the border and duty, about a 2 hour drive for him. I burned about $120 in gas going to get it. But it was cheaper than shipping.

I'm not singling you out, or faulting you but this is exactly why I wont use ebay for video games anymore. If I were bidding on that game, I'd be pissed it got canceled because someone decided to throw a bunch of money at the seller. You are smart no doubt but it still sucks for those bidding.

I guess only the strong survive.

Nice score.

There were no bids on the auction when it was cancelled. If there were bids, I would not have made an offer:)
