Uprights - Silent Scope, Vindicators, Simpsons, Narc for Sale (Los Angeles)
I recently went to an estate auction and had won several uprights (sold as a single lot). The previous owner, may he rest in peace, had a beautiful Captain America and the Avengers (4 Player) upright in great condition that I just had to have, but unfortunately it was sold with 4 other machines that I didn't want nor care about. None of them work, and I don't know enough about them to restore/repair, figured I'd list them here and see what comes of it. Below are the machines:
Silent Scope Arcade Machine -- Non-working. The game has startup issues—The screen doesn't work properly—it has a small white line going across it, but I can make out text and color changes. Comes with all original electronic parts (Gun included).
Vindicators --Joystick controls are broken, Machine boots and plays perfectly though. Screen is intact and shows no sign of damage/decay. Sound intact. Comes with all original electronic parts.
The Simpsons Arcade (Cabinet Only) - Cabinet is gutted of all internal electronics. It looks like the guy tried to convert it and then stopped. Perhaps he was in the middle of this project when he passed on? Comes with 2 ziplock bags of buttons/joysticks. I don't know enough to verify whether or not they work. Contains original Simpsons Artwork, has scratches. Please note that this does not contain the joystick control panel. You are essentially buying a wooden Frame.
Narc Game – This cabinet is just the control panel only. Someone from this forum emailed me and pointed out that there's a second half that goes to this machine (monitor portion), this unit does not contain that (Thanks for the info mystery person). It boots up and plays sounds. That's all I can vouch for at the moment. It looks like it has all its original electronics intact.
I don't know what these things are worth. Ideally, based on the final price of the estate sale, I would like to get 100 each, BUT I know that these things probably are not worth anywhere near that amount, so I will throw in a pass to E3 with every sale, otherwise feel free to make me an offer. I need to get rid of these as I cant afford the space they take up. Local pickup only. Feel free to pm me with any questions.
