Quoted from Lamonsoff:Can finally call this one done. Fun rare Exidy game. [quoted image]
nice pickup! very clean cab!
If you ever have weirdness with your game, its probably edge connector related. the pins exidy used are garbage. if you go thru and replace them(easy to do with a bobby pin to pop them out). I would suggest stuffing a few empty pins on the opposite side. there is not much tension in the edge connector. the extra pins will make it fit snug.

I think I have a poster for that game somewhere

This cab was missing its innards, so I had to build my own harness. Fresh edge connectors, so we’re good. But thanks!

Quoted from 3pinballs:Wow that's great....I had a chance years ago to buy a tempest for $250 in Awesome condition ( plus 10 years back ). That's a game I wish i had in my collection.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Wow! 2 of my all time favorites! Williams game sounds bring the nostalgia of an arcade.
Put my Reloaded BBH cabinet up for sale today. If anyone had any interest.

Also my IT Arcade Collection Cabinet.
Quoted from Max_Badazz:I got this a month ago (the luck was with me) ... it's my grail arcade game (and it sat in a home barely used since bought new)[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
I usually prefer the upright cabinets but this might be the exception. The cocktail is damn cool. Nice find!

Cooler and worth considerably more then the upright. Much more sought after.
Quoted from Meadows22:Lol does this count?
Always wanted the 6 person version but never could find one for sale. Would love a wrestlefest at some point.

time to surrender your manhood card...
6 player xmen is a beast! I repaired one and the guy had to remove a window so he could get it into his room!
Quoted from Deerlakes6:[quoted image][quoted image]
Looks like that Scramble still has an original Wico Joystick. Supprised the handle hasn't broken off yet! (and I have a Amidar in my Garage that still has one!)

Wow! Nice collection!

Might I humbly suggest adding a defender or stargate to your excellent Williams collection?
Quoted from Nick_801:I’ve got a few! (I have all 3 silent scope PCB’s and marquees) Just finished refurbing Crazy taxi, it’ll be a chore getting into the game room.

Nice find! Nicer than the one I pulled out of an estate sale 6 years ago for $300.
Mine also had the pedistal but showed wear on the cp.

Quoted from cliff_clavin:Might I humbly suggest adding a defender or stargate to your excellent Williams collection?
He needs to add a wood cabinet Blaster and / or a Sinistar to match the other cabinets.
Quoted from girloveswaffles:He needs to add a wood cabinet Blaster and / or a Sinistar to match the other cabinets.
Would love to add either one. Had them both years ago, Sinistar wood cab and Blaster duramold. Blaster is an awesome game and in the wood cab would be amazing.
Quoted from cliff_clavin:Might I humbly suggest adding a defender or stargate to your excellent Williams collection?
Not a bad idea. I suck at both of them though. I remember playing them as a kid in the arcade and they’re some tough ass games.

I also owned the mini for a while before selling it. I think its in Europe somewhere now.
Pinside_gameroom_8609_1311086 (resized).jpgWow, I forgot I posted that haha. So I own a complete NG set, 20ish ST-V games and some Atomiswave and PGM. Only own 2 official arcade cabinets though, so searching a true 2-slot Neo Geo and some candy cab to put the PGM in.

How much did video machines cost new “back in the day?”
I have fond memories of going to the arcade in the early 1980’s and there being lines/groups of 6-8 of each title because there were so many customers who wanted to play and not wait in line.

Few random pages from a 80s arcade magazine.

Thanks for posting!
What did the classics cost when they were brand new?
Defender, Robotron, Tempest, Centipede,Asteroids DLX, Galaga,Etc?
Also were cocktails more expensive than full size uprights?
