Original - seems to be only 50 ever made...(unknown by me).
Good, original shape, rebuilt PS, Monitor and pcb.

Ideas?
Comments?
Throw in misc comments to annoy?

Go at it.
 
I'd be highly suspicious of it being "original" and really wouldn't add anything to the value over any other SW cockpit. It's a SW cockpit. That's enough to crank the price up to top-of-arcade-market value, IMO. I can't recall anyone EVER saying "naw, I don't want THAT SW cockpit, I want an original ESB. I'll pass." Hah.

In great to excellent, working condition with a 25" Amp, $1500-$2000 would seem reasonable to me.

The difference is that ROTJ was a raster game. If it was converted at the factory, I'd expect a 25 inch raster monitor in it, but were those even around when ROTJ came out? Or did all the factory conversions get a 19?
 
A guy local to me had one on eBay a while back. He wanted $1500 but got $1200 even with it missing sound and the cabinet being in okay shape. I made an offer on it based on the fact it was a Star Wars cockpit that I could possibly convert back, but I was not even close to what he was wanting to take for it.
 
It is a factory conversion, tags inside.
Phet is correct. ROTJ, not ESB.
It came standard with a WG7203. 19" raster.

Just curious what the KLOV group to say what it's worth.

Surprised....no $50 offers... :rolleyes:
 
Here are a few pics.

Ive owned one before. There were 100 of them made at the factory. There were no kits sold to convert a SW into the cockpit version. So they are quite rare. But not the value of SW sadly. A nice one fully working will get you 900-1400. The low end would be for someone that wants ROTJ because they like it. The other end would be for a true collector that more than likely has a few other games. When i had one, there were three cockpits next to each other, SW, ESB and ROTJ
 
The one from Craigslist:

The ROTJ is missing the sideart triangles......not worth $900 to me, and I'm a complete newbie.....

I love your machine! Why do you have to be in Arizona????

Someone has to say it: it doesn't help that they went in a...less desirable...direction with this game. I'm sure if they went with an update to the vector series, the level of pricing and desire would be completely through the roof.
 
Sadly this machine is like a hundred dollar bill you found on the ground that someone wiped their ass with. If I owned it id convert it to a star wars. The cabinet looks really nice.
