Hello carlo3do,

Usual prices range for a working Starblade is between 400-700$ ...and as usual in the 'arcade market' : less if you are lucky, more if you really want it at any cost! 

Good luck... and save that beast

Since you ask advice: I think that DarthNuno is right about the Starblade price and if it REALLY is nice and working it is a good enough game and cabinet for the max.

IMHO all the others are not worth $750.

Be sure to check the good working of the games yourself, when ai was new in this hobby I have been told that machines were playing blind and they ended up with 3 bad chips on the PCB.

yes this is it i was in need of information about a G-lock i found the cab from the outside was excellent but it wasent working it was for 500$ so i let it go

ok just a quick question will the arcade games get damage if i tried them before i move them to truck or its ok??cause i know from my old crt if i move it it will give me some weird violet and pink colors...

and yes i made up my mind iam getting them and i will upload pic for you of this this fine find

The violet and pink colors means the tube was magnetized, you will have to use a degaussing coil to remove that, or if you let the machine run for  a few hours, sometimes it disappears.

Carlo,

If you decide to sell the Rampart 3P on - I am your man 

[carlo3do]

ok new update as i went to test them i found out that all the games have the screen bored removed and put inside the cabs and almost all the cabs have no back doors

i tried to connect some and tried a couple with no luck i can here noises but no screen

as i dug deeper i found

Michael Jackson's Moon-walker mint
sly-spy
pit-fighter
outrun standup cab
World Rally 2
area 51
IKARI WARRIOR III
Mechanized Attack the only one worked for me 

and 7 MVS CAB FAKE CHINESE 

and 2 pinball
Gladiators  it turn on and it lit and it  keep on rumbling and shaking so i turned it off 

Freddy A Nightmare on Elm Street it turn on and it lit 

i end up getting them all for 12000$ as is

iam gonna need alot of help restoring them...

[baritonomarchetto]

So,in the end, you bought them all? Pics or it never happened 

[leonk]

12,000$ is a lot of money.

In some parts of the world (like USA/Canada) the games you listed aren't worth more than 100-150$ each - in working condition.  But machines from Japan (like the small, white candy cabs) can sell for >1000$ each here (where in Japan, they can be picked up for ~100$)

I'm not sure how difficult/rare these games are where you found them.  Good luck and please post pictures.

12000 usa dollars ?

[carlo3do]

guys you should give me some credit as iam located in Lebanon Beirut and iam trying to save them from total destruction

also as for the price can someone provide me any of the games listed above for less than 700$ shipped to my country...

also there's non left in my country as of the war its a mire-cal that those survived this long ..

as all my country filled with Chinese cheep arcade cab mockup of the astro city cab...

and i am thinking to  recreate a small ver of luna city (as its awesome) cause i already got a 120meter hall unless someone have a better idea..

the pic will come soon i promise 

[gyruss]

Wow, Beirut, that's pretty hardcore! Don't worry about the price, if you're happy with the cab's and can afford them that's the only thing that counts.. I would love to see some pictures..

[level42]

  for saving cabs in Beirut !

Once again, location is a big influence on price...
