Title: Computer Space
Post by: BigKev on April 16, 2011, 09:46:49 am
Hey John i found a Computer space on my delivery rt and talk the old boy into selling it to me for 60 and it's the rare Yellow one. I got with some local collectors and they want it and they going to trade me moon patrol for it. what do you think. The Computer space cab looks to be in good condition but i'm sure it doesn't work and i lack of know how to fixing it.  And these are the same guys i'm trying to get them to use my time teach me how to fix these great old machines. The guy also keep eye out for Popeye for me.  He Ask me if i wanted a really nice Defender for it last night but i was more of a Moon Patrol fan.  Defenders ok. Plus he let me look at some cabs for a project machine he has and he's giving me the cab for free. I sure thank you for the advice of try to meet local collectors it looks like it going to be good move.

BigKev, I would say that Computer Space is worth much more than a Moon Patrol. I think the best thing for you is to sell it on Ebay. That way you'll get the correct market value. Be careful! Sounds like you have a cool machine.

You know John this is hardest thing I've ever had to  make my mind up on.  On one had could fix for myself just to put in my arcade on another could sell and bought an hard game to get money wise star wars or tron, and even on the other hand i could deal with this guy and get future opportunity to buy games off of him cheap plus access to his arcade here

Well i bought thing yesterday but it's a empty cab so i was little disappointed but the local guy here still wanted it so I'm going that rout but i was think if he didn't want i was going to make the kids a different game out of it that would have cool.

I always thought that design of cabinet was screaming for a lava lamp nearby.

-If you find a spare cab it'd make a great fish tank. :p
