Robotron pricing

[ubersaurus]

How much would you people say a complete Robotron cabinet/game/marquee etc. would sell for? My friend got offered 800 bucks to buy this guys, and he wants to know if its worth it.

If it's in good shape I'd say it's worth it. Robotron is one of those popular machines like Galaga and Ms. Pac-Man that are still worth alot of money. I want one myself so I can turn it into a Cloak & Dagger machine.

Ah no, I'll have nightmares for weeks!

I'll take Cloak & Dagger over Robotron any day. Robotron is too repeatative for my tastes. The problem with C&D is that you have to convert a Robotron, Stargate, or Defender machine and those are all very expensive.

 

 

BTW the machine looks good to me. Go for it!

If its the original glass, that is a good deal. I sell restored ones for around a grand, and that is with aftermarket underlays and repro marquees and CP overlays. They are a bear to keep running with the original power supplies, but a switcher makes it all the better. No mid-game drop out.

 

8 is a good price. I would ask for 9 and settle for 850.

Nothing against Cloak and Dagger. It's just that Robotron is the best game ever IMO.

 

To think about a Robotron cabinet getting "killed" when I don't own one. . . Looks like I'll have to go back to reading Stephen King novels before I go to sleep.
