Galaxian table top, unfortunately non-working
« on: June 13, 2010, 10:18:04 PM »
I found this table top Galaxian with box, seller described "need to fix".
Look's great! ;D

I also found a Sega Time Scanner original pcb for 65 eur, but no pics attached.

I bought a few dead VFD games, and got them all back to work. Mostly the battery contacts are corroded, sometimes a PCB path is eaten away. Both easy fixes.
Remember that de Coleco's are not the best technically. Flimsy plastic and bad quality stickering make these table tops very hard to keep mint. Also I guess you need to remove the sticker to open it. Try find a Bandai Galaxian. OMG that one is AWESOME!

I'm a huge Electronic Handheld games  :-* :-* :-* I used to play them like a crazy back in the Dayzzz  :)
Maybe I can create a dedicated section about them on this board if any interest?

I'm a also a big fan of vintage handheld games, and I also have a nice collection of them, so I'm very interested about that new section! ;D

Thanks for the comment Blanka, it is only 15 eur, but I think I' will miss it. ;D

15 euro is peanuts. I would grab it for that.

I need new stickers for the Q*bert hand held. The glue is coming trough.
The Q*bert is probably the best arcade like hand held ever made. The game play is so accurate!

Sure, I hope nobody will place bids on it, but if they will, please let me know which is the higher price that is acceptable for you. ;)
