Looking for an Atari Missile Command cabaret with woodgrain sides

Also interested in other cabarets, Williams Stargate, Atari Tempest

Complete and working if possible, I'm not really looking for projects

Sega After Burner II upright


Time has come to find my Sega Afterburner 2 a new loving home. Why am I letting it go? This was one of my Holy Grail cabs, having spent a lot of cash on it as a kid, but with a 10+ years of ownership I’m now hankering after an older vertical shooter.
I like to think of a collection of arcade games as constantly fluid, this being a case in point.
I wanted to find a really nice one in the first place, not some restoration project and this one doesn’t disappoint.
It has the benefits of being a very nice example to begin with, and then being owned subsequently by 2 arcade enthusiasts
Past history:
This was placed in seasonal use in caravan park in Norfolk, and so it escaped the usual seaside / town centre arcade abuse
It was then purchased privately in 2001 and sat in a home gamesroom. I purchased it in 2007.
It’s in full working order and the coin counter shows 59,493 plays
Good points:
Really good side art and T moulding
Really good silver monitor mask, monitor plexi and decals
Crisp, clear, colourful monitor that has not yet required a rebuild
Very nice joystick and control buttons
Cabinet structure really good
All original inside – has not been hacked about with
Full set of keys
Cleaned inside and out
Lots of spare parts
Detailed log of past history and work since in my ownership (5 pages)

Bad points:
3” chunk out of lower right corner of cabinet. It’s never really bothered me and so I never got round to repairing it
RH jet decal is missing

Work to cab:
When I took charge of the cab the Warning and Lock On lights didn’t work. On closer inspection there was no lamps behind the mask! The correct Sega lamps were sourced from Andy Geezer at Sega Shed (and there are 3 spare ones stored in the cabinet) and the relevant fuse was changed to enable them

The warning light lenses were cracked and mismatched. I sourced new matching lenses from Video Game Parts in the USA and fitted to the monitor mask.
A few genuine Sega security screws have been fitted where they were missing.
Spare Parts:
•     Complete wiring harness with all plugs, transformers, PSU, Solid State Relay boards and Sound Amp
•     NOS monitor mask decals, instruction plate, yellow start button from Video Game Parts in USA
•     Replacement Solid State Relays
•     Reproduction side art decals made by David Garcia (Mikonos) from Spain purchased via his “Declarts” website
•     NOS potentiometers, joystick switches and springs – found in cabinet when purchased
•     Original Sega After Burner manual
•     Original Hantarex MTC 9000 monitor manual
•     Flyback (boxed) and cap kit (bagged) for Hantarex 9000
It currently plays via the service switch inside the coin door, where I press for multiple coin ups. It’s been stored in a temperature controlled gamesroom
It is totally original and has not been fully restored. I’ve resisted restoring it over the years as it doesn’t really need it.
So there it is, a good honest cab that has been cared for and maintained to full working order, with spare parts for the future and a fair bit of interesting history (full history supplied to buyer)
It’s located in Wolverhampton in the West Midlands. I’d recommend pick up or Martin the Delivery Man. At a push I could deliver in my estate car for a fee to be agreed.
It’s very nice cab that has been indulged great care and comes with a host of spare parts that in themselves are worth hundreds.
I’ve seen others on ebay that always seem to be flawed – either badly damaged side art, monitor mask or missing the curved smoked monitor plexi/ As you can see this is neither.

Whilst I know what I paid for it 10 years ago and what I’ve spent on the spares and side art, I’m seeking the community’s thoughts on a fair valuation of the cab and all the parts that would come with the sale – reflecting current market value.

If anyone can give me guidance on how to upload photos to this forum I have many images I can post

I have commisssioned a reprographics company to reproduce the silver "monitor mask" decals for the 1987 Sega After Burner upright cabinet.
 

The source material was:

NOS Sega decals, scanned, cleaned up and colour matched

 
◦Printed on 100 micron "Hexis" self adhesive vinyl
◦Laminated gloss finish (protects against scratches and fading by UV light)
◦"Ecosol" low toxin inks used in the printing process
◦Individual decals die cut / plotter cut

These are very high quality reproductions, not some home made attempt.

The costs do reflect the outlay for the artists time in the computer drawing work, plus materials and inks

 

FULL SET: £35
Comprises triangular header decal, 2 x "star" decals, 2 x "jet nozzle" decals

 

Postage in a sturdy cardboard mailing tube. P&P as follows:

 

UK: £6 - Insured (Signature req'd on delivery) £7

EUROPE: £6.50 - Insured (Sig. req) £11.50

USA: £7.50 - Insured (Sig. req.) £13

An un-restored Dragon's Lair is worth half that.

No - just keeping the collection fluid and constantly changing - I have some more restoration projects planned.

I really enjoyed restoring this Space Ace to better than mint, but I don't play it as often as I'd like.

I'd prefer to see it go to a collector who could give it more use than I do.

Beautifully restored US Dragon's lair machine currently running an LDP3600D player and the HiTech conversion card.

Side art signed by Don Bluth.

Limited edition laserdisc.

Machine in central England. Sensible offers from totally genuine interested buyers only please. Absolutely no timewasters.
