This is at a local auction of mine this week. I bet it's going to go cheap and I may just need to bid to on it.
This is the only picture that they have of it, and I can't tell exactly what it is. Anybody?

Never mind! I just looked at the little cards on the sides. SPACE INVADERS.
Nothing to see here...move along... :-"
yeah those old taito cabs rock
I had (technically still have) one of these with two buttons, 8way stick, self implemented rapid fire and a revised hantarex screen :)
think it's worth grabbing for $100 if it's in good working order? I expect it to go less, but these auctions are always a crapshoot and seem to surprise me.
I once grabbed a working arcade machine for $10 at this auction. But I have seen a busted up SFII cab (and I mean BUSTED UP!) go for $300.
I see chickens and pigs
Looks like a proto of the unreleased Farmville arcade game.
Auction Com must have changed the image. This thread should be fun because the image will constantly change every week or so.
LOL. Yeah it was an old tatio cab. :D I like this we need to keep this thread near the top so people are constantly giving silly answers to things that arn't games.
Lokks like: John Deere Adventure 2.

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!
Say no more.
My first view of the thread was post picture change.
I kept looking at the Space Invaders responses and scrolling up and saying "Really?"
Once I made it further down in the posts it became clear you guys just fucked with me. :)
Now it's "Super Pawnshop Baseball Card Survivor III: The Real Life Shelf-Busting Adventure!"
I doubt the image will change again. The auction is tonight and I think all the pictures are now up.
This was a good bit of unintentional comedy. I may need to do this again next week. :D
So. It worked good and and was in decent shape, but had a band of discoloration on the monitor. Ended up selling for 225 to some fat guy.
Are you sure it wasn't cellophane stuck to the monitor to make it 'color'?

:-k
Must be an inside joke I'm not aware of?
About a third of the monitor looked like this...

No joke. The monitors were black and white with bands of cellophane adhered to 'em to make 'color'.

Oh, I see. I have never seen that on a space invaders cocktail table, but have seen that in other games.
That certainly wasn't the case. The monitor clearly had the "band".
