I recently looked at an advertised 100% working Space Invaders.
Got there and it lit up but no boot. Solid LED on the CPU, no flashes.

At some point during shipping the backbox was exposed to water. The lower piece of the Backbox sags on one side.
Playfield looks awesome but the entire surface is Mylar'ed.
Under the playfield looks well maintained.
Cabinet art is in very good condition.

It was advertised at 700 but talked down to $200. I still passed on it.

Whatcha think,, I may go back and scoop it.
 
$200 sounds good to me! You could sell the backglass alone for that much.

I just picked one up (my first pin) for $125. Powers up but I have the same problem. Ordered the rebuild kit for the MPU. My playfield is pretty worn but it gives it some character. Ok for my first I guess.
 
I tried to re-aquire the machine and the owner is now keeping it to make money in her divorce, since her husband paid 1500 for it.

I cant blame her, but I blame myself for not scooping it.
