I designed and built those hanging games myself. Whoever buys the Xenon is welcome to play them.

If you were within a few hours drive I would definitely be interested in Xenon and playing mini-cade friends! Nice work!

Are those running on real hardware? Flat screen or CRT monitors?

I've made 7 of them. Only a few are visible i the pic. They all use a flat screen monitor as a CRT would make them too thick. Most of them are powered by a Raspberry Pi and are emulated using MAME, but one (Fix it Felix Jr.) is powered by a Windows PC. I tried to make the marque, bezel, CPO, controls, and cabinet shape as similar to the original as possible. Maybe I should be selling those instead of the Xenon?

The only Xenon I have seen in the low teens will have banana peels, fish bones, old tires,that half eaten sandwich from a few months ago and other garbage all around it where you would find it sitting. Tell me who will take a machine apart for you, clearcoat the PF and put everything back together for under $1200. Then there is the light tube the Allteck boards, LED's, hardware etc. I wouldn't be surprised if the OP has over $2000 just in the restoration alone then he still needs the buy a Xenon. The OP's price is right because the cost to get it in that condition is about there. I know because I have one in similar condition and the cost was over that to restore. Now back to those wall mounted vids.......What monitor brand and size was used?

You are right, there is more in this Xenon than I am asking. It is a beautiful game and I really hate to sell it but I need the space and haven't figured out how to make it into a wall mounted version.

The monitors in the vids are mostly old Dell 4:3 LCD computer monitors although I do have one Gateway (in Robotron). They were pretty much ones that were being discarded when everyone was switching to wide screen monitors.

Price is definately fair in my opinion. It will sell at that or real close to it with in a couple of weeks. It's a game that gets bagged on a little for being to simple but man is it addictive. When you have a new playfield and everything firing at full power it plays fast and hard as hell.

My bad maybe it was mid to high teens. But this game is worth every bit of asking price. I would be tempted if closer

For sale: Xenon (Bally, 1980), new clear coated playfield

Added: August 3rd, 2016

Condition: Fully restored

Item description

Very nice Xenon with a new playfield, plastics, bumpers, glass tube, apron, shooter rod, etc. It is full LEDs with an Alltek light board. Plays fast and smooth. Both of the back glass looks very nice with no visible defects. The original cabinet looks good, with only a few minor scratches. It has been upgraded to to Pyle speakers. The battery holder has been removed from the board. I need to clear out a space so unfortunately I need to sell. Shipping is possible but I would prefer potential buyers see it.

I see you have the game on skates, here's a tip to keep them ON the skates. Weld a 3/4 inch tall steel tube on to the center of the skate, the tube being just wide enough for the leg adjuster foot to sit inside it like this. Your game will never slide off them then. I've been using them for years and not even a hint of a slip.

Quoted from bayoubilly70:

I actually don't know. It was installed by a previous owner. It is one of the new reproduction play fields and as a hologram sticker in an out of the way area that supposedly verifies its authenticity or maybe that the licensing fee was paid. In any case, I agree it looks great and much better than any original play field I'm seen in this game.

Quoted from bayoubilly70:

It is a laminate floor. It looks like wood, but isn't.

I had a blast playing Varkon at ReplayFX. Trades for Varkon with definitely be considered.

I also have a very nice CV and was debating over if I should sell this Xenon or the CV to clear out a space. Ultimately, I decided that the Xenon doesn't fit into my collection as well, but it is a beautiful looking and playing game.
