Title: Price check - Sega Space Tactics
Post by: jinxz on February 28, 2013, 09:20:30 PM
Kind of an obscure cabinet for as far as i know. It's called Space Tactics and it's made by Sega. The cab is supposed to have a mirror reflected screen which can move on 2 axis to create some 3D effect.
Anybody know what kind of price this baby would fetch and if anybody here even has one?

Here 2 pics that i took of the cab while picking through someones storage:

there was one for sale in southern france roughly a year ago - seller wanted to have 350 euros, but as far as i know, it wasn't sold. i'd love to have one, simply because of the mechanics involved, but it was too far off. do you know if this one is for sale? are you planning on getting it for yourself?

Indeed! Really crazy over engineered stuff. Even the mirror is probably a front facing mirror to prevent double images.

I'm planning on getting it asap and work on it to get it running and looking 110%. I might be tempted to sell it afterwards but not sure yet.

I will, i will ;)
No price known yet. The guy has 2000m2 of storage filled with these goodies (untouched for over 20 years btw) so i'll try to get more cabs and make a package deal. But don't expect prices like 350 for these ;)

Regarding game cabs it's not really interesting. He has a Centipede, some other Taito cab (couldn't fin out which), 8x Sega tech, NeoGeo cab and maybe some other stuff that i couldn't see. Other than that he has a lot of pinballs, jukeboxes, snooker tables, dart boards, slot machines, a vintage coke machine, rolls royces  :shock: and willy jeeps

hey,

on one of my many delivery runs over 10 years ago i collected one of these from Germany for a guy in the Uk called "cyclo", dont know if he still has it or ever got it working...
I dont remember exactly where it came from but it was some kind of leisure place, with a boating lake or something.

Getting the history of a cab is pretty sweet so i'll try to get as much info on this Space Tactics cab as possible.

Spoke to the guys today and the chance to buy the contents of this warehouse went up ;)
25-03 I hope to get the final OK.

Here's another pic to keep the passion alive ;)
One of the worst rooms in the warehouse has a Atari Jupiter Rubis II Jukebox:

NASTY!!! :shock:
My thoughts exactly ;) It was pretty hard walking through that warehouse, realizing that everything was untouched in about 20 years and just moving the stuff to another room would have preserved it. A lot of stuff was really messed up by the conditions that they were in...

hope the space tactics is in better condition!

Yup, it sure is. The room that the Space tactics is located is dark and dry.
