I haven't been buying much for the last year or two, because I have most of the games I really want and am running out of space. But, I have been wanting a Space Zap for a long time, and finally scored an upright for $500 last Monday. It's complete and in good shape, though the bottom is chipped up a bit due to not having leg levelers installed. I'm going to patch that up and paint to match, should be easy due to the simple side art.
It had a DRAM issue, but fired right up after I swapped in a spare RAM card. Audio is currently out, because the bypass cap on the audio PCB is shorted, which popped a fuse in the bottom of the cabinet. I have a few parts coming, need to clean out some gunk from the monitor & overlay, then I think this is 100%.
Cabarets are my favorite, but I like the upright Space Zap a lot more than the mini. I like that it's a plywood cab, and definitely on the small side for an upright -- it reminds me of Wizard of Wor like that. And the effect of the mirror, flashing marquee, and plex sides is awesome.

I saw that there was also a version manufactured by Game-a-Tron, in a Space Invaders style cabinet. Has anyone ever seen one of those?
