Xybots?

$800-1000 makes sense to me, too. The joysticks are rare and expensive. The art has been reproduced, so a nice cab can clean up well.

And it's really a unique game with a lot of levels to it.
 
bought one off ebay for $265 3 years ago. I was the only bidder on a 30 day auction. one front corner of the cabinet was messed up (it looks like a common blemish on these cabs cuz of the shape of the cabinet, i've seen a lot of pics of cabs with the same issue). also I had to rebuild the joysticks because there is a rubber o-ring inside that disintegrates into a gummy mess and the whole thing must be taken apart and deep cleaned and then put back together. other than that mine was in fantastic shape. original art was great all over and pcb and monitor worked perfectly, never giving me a single problem. when I sold it it took months to find a buyer. very VERY unpopular game in the arcade, literally it would go days without a single player even on freeplay, but it is one of my favorite games to play. tons of replay value cuz its one of those games that if you get to the end and fail to kill the boss it brings you back several levels and you have to play all the way back to the final boss through several hard levels again.
 
That's a smokin' deal!!!

Hey do you know where to find those rings? Mine are bad too and I'm putting off rebuilding them, but need to.

Thanks!

so I recently read another KLOV thread on the subject that noted that a certain pinball rubber ring will work perfectly. just search the forums for threads mentioning the game and look for it, its a recent thread if I remember correctly.

That being said, when I did it I didn't have that information handy so I made one out of foam roll bandage tape. something like this:

I cut a thin strip matching the height of the o-ring slot perfectly and wrapped it around several times until it matched the thickness of the original o-ring (i had to estimate, my original o-rings were literal goo by the time I got to them). I figured it wouldnt last forever but I had to do it cuz I couldn't find anything else that would work. I owned it for a year and a half including 7 or 8 months in play at the arcade and it never gave me any trouble. the bottom of the o ring doesn't touch anything except the tiny microswitch buttons themselves so there is really nothing to cause it to unravel.

you've really got to work at getting that gunk from the old o-rings out of every little part, and the microswitches have to be replaced because the gunk will be inside them, but the job really isnt that complicated as long as you take pics step by step to be able to put the damn thing back together again. game plays like magic when you're done. its really one of the best control schemes ever if you ask me. hard to believe they didn't feel like using it on any other games.

one last thing, there is a metal ball that attaches to the joystick shaft. it comes apart into two halves. the two halves are held together by two bolts that thread directly into the halves. make sure NOT to overt-tighten these bolts when you put them back together onto the shaft. they can break the ball itself and make it impossible to keep the two halves tightly on the shaft.
 
normal pinball flipper rubbers will work, they don't have to be the narrow (gottlieb style).
 
Send me the part numbers you need. I don't have them listed on the site just yet since I only have a handful of each part, if that. I still have 4 sticks I need to rebuild myself so thats why nothing has been listed - I didn't want to run out.

These sticks are about 80% standard Logo Stick parts.
 
If you have enough rebuild kits for you and hisnice I would like the fourth set of rebuild kits . Thanks
