PriceCheck Universal Cosmic Alien Cab -- SOLD--
« on: November 08, 2011, 01:07:27 PM »
As some of you might remember, i have a nice Universal Cosmic Alien cab in my laying in my stack of to-do projects. Stuff keeps popping up and i can't find the time to begin with it.
The cab is in reasonable good shape and complete, the most important faults are the T-Molding and the cracked marquee. And of course the fact that the game doesn't work. There's stuff on the screen and you can hear it coin-up, but that's all. Perhaps it's something simple like a new Z80, or perhaps it needs a whole stack of new ram chips, i just don't know.

Seeing as i'm new to the hobby i have absolutely no idea what it would be worth, so please enlighten me.






Sorry guys. It's gone.

A bit more than one year ago I payed 350,- for mine, that is in excellent condition. T-molding mint, no scatches on the panel at all, sidearts with no scratches you can see without putting glasses on, PCB was not taking coins at that time (what I could fix in half an hour), monitor is a bit blurry but working. Like I said, excellent condition overall for 350,- (which was a bargain, I must admit). That machine is a real eye catcher! For me one of the cooles artworks ever, even if they are not really related to the gameplay ;)

fun story:

I got an email from joeks yesterday, pointing me to a marktplaats ad in which a seller states that he is looking for the buyer of this machine. I bought the machine in 2011, paid for it by bank transfer and was in touch with the seller to arrange pick up. We weren't in a hurry, but then the seller went silent and I never heard back. Turns out that he got sick and normal life got in the way. And then suddenly this. After almost six years, the cab will finally come home  :)
Wanted: everything Universal , Stern and Gottlieb. Currently looking for Computer R3, Curve Ball, Goal to Go, Jungler, Fast Draw, Limbo, No Man's Land and Speed Coin.
