I picked up a Space Invaders off of CL a week ago. Here are the original pics:
The good:
Cabinet/side art/coin door/control panel in pretty good condition.
Planet/white-black light/backdrop all there and working.
Plays with video and audio output.
Insides are very clean and all original except for the speaker.
Looks like it never had the wood skids taken off and feet installed. They have cabinet paint on the ends.
$75.
The bad:
The bezel has been cracked and taped back together. You can see it in the ad picture but it's much worse in real life. Has to be replaced.
Monitor has vertical collapse.
Bass sound is distorted. Could be because the original speaker has been replaced with a car speaker (4 ohm).
Top back door is from a different SI. Didn't come with a key and somebody cut out the wood strip from the right vent to get inside?
Bottom back door is missing. The classic repair had been made to the back door switch - taping it down with nasty sticky electrical tape instead of simply pulling it out.
I'll post more pics later.
