Title: 1980s Space Encounter Post by: tebright1 on April 25, 2017, 01:04:16 pm I found an arcade machine for sale locally and the lady knows nothing about it. She wants $150 for a Space Encounters Upright Cabinet. I was going to see if I could low ball her. What would this be worth if fully restored? Is $150 too much?

Title: Re: 1980s Space Encounter Post by: P-feif on May 04, 2017, 03:34:08 pm Never heard of it before. Just looked it up on Youtube. It look like a really cool game. I wonder if a modern switching power supply might work too?
