Parrothead #1 Posted November 15, 2009 Picked up for $250. I loved this game when I found a cheap crapped out cab about a year ago. Sold it because it looked horrible. So was pleased to score ScooterDealers Zaxxon Mini. I know it was discussed here before somewhere, but it has a ball joystick instead of the normal Zaxxon control stick. The Zaxxon Mini Op manual confirms the normal Zaxxon control stick on the photo on the front of the manual. The funny thing is the CPO is completely different on the one on the cover of the manual than what is on mine. Graphics and button locations are different. Does anyone know if they, in fact, did ship some of these out with ball style joysticks? Also, notice the cool, blue striped T-molding Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+save2600 #2 Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) I know for a fact the cocktail tables had ball style joys and knowing cabaret's (the games, NOT the destination - lol), they often utilized cocktail or "mini" versions of the full sized upright. So yeah, very likely the cabaret originally came with a ball handled joy. Be very surprised if it didn't. Great score! Although it looks a little smooshed up against Battlezone I *HATE* seeing other peoples machines wedged together like that. ouch! lol BTW: the Sega/Gremlin stuff were often times bastardized conversion kits. Looks like an operator happened to have a control panel or overlay from the upright and decided to use that on this machine.
