Really nice Black Widow for sale, I'd be surprised if you can find a single better one anywhere. This one was restored by another collector a while ago, and I bought it from him a year or so ago.
The bad points: sometimes starts up with wavy vectors, this clears if you switch it off/on. Monitor has a slight convergence issue (see photo) - I took a photo of the worst bit, really you won't notice or could get it adjusted - there are rings to adjust at the back but I'm scared of monitors so I haven't touched them. There are a couple of very small bubbles in one side of the art, I had to draw arrows to them so you can see in the photos. Couple of tiny marks to the white edges here and there, I really mean a couple - see photos. Coin mechs are not connected.
The good points: everything else is like it came from the factory last week. The monitor is nice and bright, the marquee and CPO are perfect, the art has zero scratches at all, the inside is nice and clean, the wiring isn't a hacked mess, the joysticks (long out of production) feel great as I built them from the best parts of several other pairs.
Here are some photos from the original restoration too:

Looking for £1000, collect from Cambridge UK, unfortunately I'm not able to wrap this game because I don't trust any courier not to ruin it, so you will need to collect or have it picked up by a known collector who can verify it's as described and working when they take it away.

Wow...very nice....

That is a great game, I once played it for a few minutes at Olly's place. Superb gameplay, so robotronisc (or no, robotron is so black widowish). Anyway, I hope that it goes to a good home.

i never said i would be able to, i just think that 1000 pounds for a game is a lot of money. but if you want something badly ...

I don't like price policing very much....
I don't see the point of always commenting on something for sale with a certain price.
If you find it to expensive just think so and decide not to respond.
Others may have different opinions on the price (someone obviously has, because it's sold already).
You can hardly expect Bloodflowers to sell a rare and fantastic condition machine like that for 200 Euro's right ?
Would you sell your WoW for that price ?
