I've been mulling over the idea of picking up a Space Duel so I thought I'd see if anyone out there has one they'd be willing to part with for a decent price.
Anyone have one they'd part with?
Hi, I have a fully working Space Duel in Evanston that I'd sell. The problem (for me at least, and maybe you too if you don't get any other responses) is that the game is often worth more in parts than the whole game. And since I really don't want to part out a dedicated fully working game, it ends up staying with me because I can't sell it for parts value. I don't blame potential buyers for not wanting to pay too high a price, but I don't blame me either for not wanting to sell it for less than parts value. The other part of me is I don't like to give up a color vector monitor, as while not rare by any means, they aren't cheap and they don't exactly grow on trees either. In the end, my loss I guess because I'd like to sell it.
Other than that though, it is local to you and no stairs at all, you can pull your vehicle right up to it at my garage.
Price? Obviously a matter of debate and I know people can bring up many examples of exceptions and/or just disagree with me in general (but I'd be interested to hear other people's thoughts on prices I estimated), but my guess/thoughts are:
Fully working, decent/good condition cabinet, marquee & CP = $500-$700
Parts from said game:
marquee = $10-15
front glass = $5
control panel = $55
coin door = $10
WG6100 monitor = $350-400
wiring/transformer = $35
audio/reg PCB = $15
Space Duel PCB = $60-80
cabinet = $20
manual/schematics = $15 (not positive I have these, but I think so)
total = $575-$650
So if I could sell it more toward the high end, it would be a break even deal for me.
If you don't get any other replies and are interested in mine, let me know. You are welcome to come check it out and try it out. To be honest though, it's in pretty good condition, I'm thinking in the range of $650-700.
