Original, unrestored, working Warrior for sale in St Augustine, FL.

Game is all original, unrestored, with the exception of the fire cardboard which was missing when I found the machine, along with the back door. Both have been replaced-refabricated.

I have owned this machine since 1999, and was pictured in Gameroom magazine (sometime in 2000?) when an interview I conducted with Tim Skelly on Warrior was published. One of the most unique and beautiful machines ever made. But I only have room for so many games, and I have 7-8 in the garage which will get more play, ready to switch in, and we can let someone else enjoy this rare gem for awhile.

Game works fine, sound crisp, monitor sharp and strong, but controls are sluggish due to being stored for a long time, assume they need to be cleaned up. Also needs a white blacklight bulb. It had a white which burned out, and I replaced it w purple one but it doesn't pop like the white obviously.

Art is all in good shape for its age. Some bumps and bruises here and there, vinyl has some light cracking which is normal, part of the W is missing off the right side of sideart. But bright and attractive artwork overall, and no water damage.

I have an extra marquee (with a rough spot) and an extra converted cp, just the metal. I kept the cp to have one to make into the new dual-stick controls down the road. I will include both with the game.

Not a fire sale and in NO RUSH to get rid of it. Just putting it out there if there's any serious interest. Will trade for the right piece, or sell outright for $5500 obo. I know, I know outrageous. But I'm a collector and more than willing to trade-partial trade, assuming you have some rock solid references in the community. A few things I'm after....nice CFTBL or Family Guy pins, or unrestored Tin Star, Prof Pac, or Q*Bert vids +- $cash. I may be intrigued by other unique pins or unrestored classics, so hit me up.

Feel free to hit me up with trade offers or serious inquiries, and I can get more pics. Preference given to a local deal, but will work with STI/NAVL if we need to go that route on shipping.

Thanks! -JWC

This is the only one I could find.
 
Game has been sold and picked up!! I'm happy to say it's staying in FL and going to someone who is trying to put together a collection of every production vector!

Thanks to everyone for the offers!! I appreciate it!

LOL - easy to guess who purchased it then ... stars with a "v" and ends with an "ik". :cool:
 
great game going from one awesome collector to another. Today was a good day.
 
Wow, what an amazing cabinet! I think this is one of the coolest aspects about collecting arcade games. There were so many games designed and manufactured in such a short window during the Golden Age that I'm constantly surprised by rarities and oddities that pop up 30+ years later. Everybody knows about Pac Man, Dig Dug and Centipede but many times these obscure games are not only beautiful but unique and fun. I'm glad to see this will be enjoyed by another collector!
