Going to look at this tomorrow. Anyone know what it is worth? I have looked on the net and they appear to be on the rare side.

How much is the seller asking? Does it work, have keys, missing anything?

It is non working due to non use over the last 15 years. Its supposed to be complete, but not sure about the keys, its only non working. They remember using a dime to start it.

$6500... no, they are asking a lot less then my first car... I paid $1000 for that.

I tihnk the keys are to get into the  mechanics.  I assume the  "road" is acetone, If you can examine it, look for brittleness, cracking  etc.  Most of it looks like it just needs a good cleaning.

 Im an arcade collector and this got posted on a site im on the other day. I was trying to find the thread over there but couldnt. If this was a CL add send it to me and Ill do a search over there with that info. Trust me.....if one of those guys didnt buy it then there is something wrong with this machine and you might want to be very cautious.

Thanks!!! I saw it 12 min after it went on the market. I do a daily search and it popped on and was only listed for that long before I happened to hit search....

Its the same general search for "arcade" every day via the app, so it hasn't been there for the last 3 months for those that are going to blast me. I sift through the same listings over and over every day so I see things get relisted and refreshed EVERY DAY!

Well, its in my trailer waiting to be unloaded.... its in better condition then it looked. Missing one thing that will be easy to find.. one of the plywood back doors. As it goes, that is just a trip to home depot!

Backglass is mint!

So I have a trade on the table that includes this restored Sky Gunner and a pinball. Since the drive yourself needs to be restored and I'm not dying for a project I'm thinking its a good for both of us.

  Did you restore the Sky Gunner? It looks great! I have atleast 20 hours into the restoration of my cabinet alone. I had a standup Drive about 3 years ago, missing 1 stepper, think I got about $500 for it.

Quick draw. It supposed to br in good condition, but needs to be shopped and is coming out of storage. Looked up reviews and people seem to like it, so it appears decent and will be a good runner for me.
