For Sale: Nice condition Bally-Midway Galaxian, Serial nr. 815
€900
You guys know the machine.
Let me quote the World Record holder on Galaxian (Aart van Vliet):
"André's Galaxian played like a dream".
-
Nope André, you CANNOT get ride of this ONE!? :'( You're MR Galaxian!
-
He also has the Japanese one :)
-
Yep. If I had as much space as you Bruno I would never sell it, but there is no way I can justify the space for two Galaxians.....and I need to restore the Jap one ;D
Before the price police arrests me:
1) This is my emotional value for this cab. It was the very first classic I bought and restored. I love that machine
2) There is a brand new Wells-Gardner monitor in it which alone is a worth of €250 (correct me if my memory is unclear here guys who did the Irish monitor group-buy)
3) Try to find a Galaxian in this condition for sale the last 2 years....
4) I sold machines to people in the hobby thinking that was what they wanted to keep "forever" in their collection only to find out they sold it on about 1 year later.....probably for a healthy profit. I think I deserve that profit, not someone who'll flip it...
5) I found a P1 and P2 Namco button and they cost €450 a piece
Will trade for Gravitar.
OK 5) is not true ;)
-
Can you post some pictures? :P
-
I was about to say, #5 is a valid point ;)
seriously, i think its a ok price for that machine, its also the machine where Aart set his European record on at EC12 !

- serial nr. 815, except for nr. 171 that is owned by my friend Robin this is the lowest serial nr. known
- brand new Wells-Gardner monitor
- original side and kick art, some (initials) scratches and wear, nothing bad though
- all metal parts powder coated
- joystick custom welded so there is absolutely NO up/down play on it
- glass bezel
- brand new tinted inner bezel
- new buttons, all original leafs inside though !
- CPO repro by This Old Game. I'll include an extra one that has some mistakes removed, for the really anal....
- marquee original but in nice condition, some tiny holes though
- new black-leathered t-molding (AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY ON THESE EARLY SERAIL NRS, SEE THE FLYER)
- inside monitor area freshly painted
- inside tops freshly painted white
- top has some cig burn marks
- marquee area is lit with the original fluorescent set-up so NO incadescent bulbs
On the lower side of the kick area there is the usual wear and tear. I'll include a repro kickplate art from This Old Game if you want, but I couldn't get myself installing it because it doesn't have the original structure on the vinyl and as time passes in this hobby I learned to prefer original over perfectly restored....but it's up to the buyer if he wants to use it or not....
This machine was played by World Record holder Aart van Vliet during his try to improve his own WR @ Eurocade 2012.
I quote Aart: "André's Galaxian played like a dream".
Location near Rotterdam, Holland

Have you tried advertising it in GB??
-
Yes it's on UKVac.
-
Sold.
-
Wow! - Congratulations!
Where did it go to?
-
It stays in the country where it has served since the very start :)
I'll leave it to the buyer if he wants to let it know :)
-
:spaceace:
:wink:
Cheers,
Marco

Okidoki - It could be cool if Aart bought it! ;)
-
Congrats Marco, i hope the cabinet will be @ Eurocade 2014 :D
-
Doh! ;D ;D ;D
-
;D
I'm actually very happy it stays in "the family" and going to a great guy ! :)
Would be awesome to have both Galaxians back together at Eurocade next year, although I can't promise anything about the Namco....
-
I'm afraid I'll need a van to get my cabs to Eurocade '14 :D
Cheers, Marco
-
I think that can be taken care off...we already have some plans for 2014 :-)
-
Galaxian : 900€.
Hum ... maybe I can sell my Buggy Boy for ........... 4K€, it looks pretty fine imho in that condition :spaceace:.
What about the multi galaxian pcb : frogger and so ... is it included for that price or not ?
-
Make a for sell thread for that Buggy boy JCP
if that is your plan in the first place, because i feel this is just to comment again on someone's price, which is again not your business
-
Seriously JCP! I am getting totally sick of your constant price policing here !!! What do you think you are accomplishing with that?
Maybe you didn't read the reasons why I got to that price ? And even so, it's up for the buyer to decide if he thinks the machine is worth the money. Marco has seen and played the game @Eurocade/ RGE 2013 so he knows what he will get.
It is the price I was willing to let this cab go for. I am still in love with that baby.......you know, I got multiple questions about my SW cockpit during Eurocade 2013 and people asked if it was for sale and I said sure, for 50,000 euro's it's yours.....meaning I don't want to sell it at any price at the moment...
I don't think I listed the multi-kit in the details so no that is not included in the deal. that kit cost me about 130 incl. shipping and I plan to install it on my Namco Galaxian.

Oh and who says that 900 was the final sales price ????

No-no-no-nope ! I just thought I read his first name once...but I'm terrible with names...only if I can link a face to a name it'll stick...and even so after at least a couple of times meeting :)
