    The deal is sealed! Will edit this later but still looking for the rest of the US Arcadia collection to start! CIB (cart, manual, overlays - warranty/catalog aren't necessary but are nice) only. The list is as follows:

     

    [Edit list in here later]

    Good luck in your hunt for the 2-3 toughest ones.  Seems like they never come up for sale, especially CIB.

    Yeah but that was already at an insane price within 3 days of being posted. Pass.

    I was the one with an insane bid within 3 days. I thought it was insane myself but I really wanted it.  Unfortunately my “insane” bid has been stomped on and I have a feeling you haven’t seen anything yet.

    The last carts were only available through mail order AFAIK, which includes Democart for a while. Dennis should know, his site has detailed information from letters and pamphlets. 

     

    I'd define a complete American collection as carts 1-26 and Democart of at least one label/box/instruction version. 


     

     

     

     

    I wasn’t aware that the democart was available via mail order. Interesting.

    I'm curious, what is your reasoning? I have reasons for and against, but I always want to hear what others think.

    To me, a cart has to have been available to buy on the store shelf back in the day to be part of the set.  The democart was not available for the average person to buy.

    Personally, when I'm collecting I go for a complete commercially released USA set, so videocarts #1-#26. I keep flipflopping on including the Democart though.

    Everyone has their own definition of complete. Personally I don’t think the Democart should be a part of a full set (even though I have one).

    Thanks my friend! Glad you enjoy it.

    Appreciate the trades. Like the 4 switch cib sunnyvale for the channel f and arcadia stuff.

    I will try and post some other oddball collections soon :)

    Waiting on a package for my last aquarius game needed....i believe that will be the first known cib set. Hope it makes it thru to me with the corona crap ruining shipping services.

     

    Wow, CIB Aquarius set. Nice!  I look forward to seeing that

    Hi.  It was me.

     

    I was missing Math Fun.       I was also interested in Checkers in non-FCTVVO version but with color booklet and Sharp Shot with double label.

    I honestly didn't realize,  that Snafu didn't have the word "Insert to this line".

    It was actually a bit of a madness this purchase  😬  .. plus the price with customs and shipping costs for Italy was very high.🥴
    It was time that I was mainly looking for Math Fun FCTVVO.      Indeed, they are not all in good condition, ...patience.

    My hope is to be able to sell what I wasn't interested in, even Armor Battle FCTVVO and almost everything else, to be able to recover a part of the price paid, ... above all to convince myself 🤔  that it was ... a semi / madness. ... and not a whole madness. 😃

     

     

    Congratulations!  I’m still looking for Math myself.  Hopeful to find one someday...

    Thanks! You can kind of see the sheet-covered Space Invaders in the background. I've decided my new goal is to snag all the Midway 8080 machines, which will be a ridiculously long and probably expensive endeavor. LOL

    These old machines really take me back to days at the county fair arcade tent. In the 70s that’s the only chance I had to experience these wonderful machines.
