Title: picked up an arcade classic Post by: rayg on February 04, 2013, 10:43:47 pm I picked one of my favorite video arcade games from the 80's ….Space Invaders Deluxe I know they been out there for a long time but I was looking for a good deal. I finally found one in my price range on Craigslist they were asking $250 because won’t coin up so I got it for $175. The cabinet is good and solid with normal wear & tear for a 32 year old machine. Inside it’s very clean and all original. The display is very clear and sharp, the monitor is either newer or has low hours because there no burn-in.
The coin up problem was two broken wires going the left coin switch and on the right coin switch the trip wire was just bent. Two easy fixes the only other issue is the color overlays are revised from the norm, which is top to bottom red orange yellow green. A easy fix but it doesn't bother me ….yet.

I spent a few quarters playing ! ! ! I used to know several bonus points tricks, but can only remember this one at the moment: clear the screen by shooting one of the invaders from the bottom two rows and get bonus points, I cannot remember how many, 500...? Enjoy ! ! ! Title: Re: picked up an arcade classic Post by: rayg on February 08, 2013, 07:53:22 pm Thanks guys, just order a cap-kit for chassis ,look like some of them have seen better days!
