Anyone have a Space War or Space Wars?

Just wondering how many are still out there...

Pics please!
 
I have a Vector Beam Space War, can't post a picture as I am away from home right now.
 
I had both vectorbeam and cinematronics.. The cinematronics went to the new Idaho Arcade.. I still have the Vectorbeam...

I have both vectorbeam and cinematronics I going to start restoring next week
 
I previously owned a Vectorbeam Space War in player's condition.
 
I have 2 complete Cinematronics Space Wars + some parts.

Still working to get them fully working, 1 set of boards is with Cinlabs.
 
i probably have the rarest space wars out there, i'd even call it uber-rare ;): the spanish space wars version built by sonic (aka sega) running a cinematronics board. i don't know of anyone else who has that cab - fabulous design and artwork!!!

The coolness is almost overwhelming.

- Cinematronics.. super cool. On the back of that genius dude who invented that crazy Vector monitor and the boardset.

- Vectorbeam - the company he launched when he quit Cinematronics because they were stupid enough to sign a stupid contract with him (they paid him for all the cinematronics games, while he was at Vectorbeam)

- Sonic - Sonic was actually owned by Sega, believe it or not... so you've got a game from the late 70's long before Sonic burned up the Sega Genesis home system. I don't know why Sega loved that name so much.

So It doesn't get much cooler than that. I think in 77 or whenever it came out, that was the #2 selling game of the year.
 
I have 3 cinematronics ones. Only plan to keep 1.


Thats and interesting heat sink on the sega cab. Is that bezel art on the plexi or is it behind it? cab looks geat!
