Lead Project 1980 Atari BATTLEZONE XY video arcade game
Description
Here is a decent, project 1980 Atari BATTLEZONE video arcade game. It is a black and white vector / XY game. Very fun game (when working). This one is not working, but may not be far from working. Unlike the one from the last auction, it did not start working in the middle of my video although I kind of expected it to. The cabinet is solid and not badly damaged anywhere, but is rough around the edges for some reason. The front step is missing, but I do have one piece of the front step if you want to build a new step for it. The artwork is still in pretty decent shape on both sides. The coin door looks great and has two quarter coin mechs. The controls are present and feel like they are working. The monitor is there and complete, and I believe it is fully working. Watch the video above and I explain why I think that. The boards are also close to working in my opinion, but I could be wrong about that. At the bare minimum, the electronics are at least 100% complete and should be repairable. The back door is missing, but otherwise I believe the game is entirely complete. This is one of the funnest BW vector games in my opinion, and truly iconic. A great and necessary addition to any classic video game collection. And there are quite a few guys out there who repair both the PCBs and the monitors for these, so even if you don't have the skills to repair this, there are others who will for reasonable.

Description
This is the Third Arcade Game Auction from our overflow warehouse in lovely downtown Atlanta, IL. NO BUYERS' PREMIUMS! NO HIDDEN FEES! After collecting (hoarding) games since about 1987, we have amassed a large and unique collection of thousands of classic games. This collection has given birth to Arcadia, Pinball Paradise, and the Route 66 Arcade Museum in central IL. Despite ambitious future expansion plans, we still have more games than we need (and not enough time) so we have decided to make them available to the public for the first time. Many collectors have seen our legendary warehouses and wondered when this stuff would be made available for sale. Some may have even pondered the idea of our inevitable death and the following estate sale. Well, the wait is over. We are going to start letting them go, even while we are still alive! We can't take 'em with us! The majority of these games are "as found" from our countless warehouse raids over the last 35 years. While many are in rough condition, there will be a lot of rare titles that haven't been seen at an auction in decades. Some are fully working. Some are repairable and/or restorable. Some are only good for parts. ALL are honestly photoed, described, and videoed so that bidders can see everything possible to make a good bidding decision. These items have come from a wide variety of sources so look at each game you are interested in carefully with fresh eyes. Just because one game is a water damaged junker doesn't mean the next one is.
All items are sold as-is, where is. Must be paid for in full before removed from the building. Buyers can arrange a pickup time anytime before July 1st. We will gladly help load. Anything not picked up by July 1st will be considered abandoned and be re-sold at the next arcade auction. Sales tax of 6.75% collected on anything picked up or shipped to addresses in IL, unless a tax-exempt certificate is provided. There will be no handling fee for pickups or shipping large freight items as long as you make all arrangements and all we have to do is meet the shipper for pickup. We will not palletize items, so we recommend North American Van Lines for shipping. NAVL Shipping quotes can be obtained us or by you by emailing coinop@beltmann.com and giving them a description of the item, the pickup zip code (61723) and your delivery zip code. We get no better pricing than you do, so get quotes yourself, or feel free to ask us to get quotes if you prefer. You can also call NAVL at 800-959-8880. You can email us at vintagevideogames.com@gmail.com. We will be happy to arrange shipping of games and other large items for you, but for a $10 per item handling fee (our time is precious). Regarding parts and other non-game items: some extremely difficult-to-package items may have a higher handling fee, and this will be disclosed in the description of that item. If there is no handling fee mentioned in the description, it will be the default $10. For this fee, shipping of UPS-able items will be well packaged and shipped for you via UPS, USPS, or FedEx, whichever is cheapest. Shipping charges for these items must be prepaid by you. If the item is a large freight item, we will make all arrangements for you for this $10 handling fee. You will be responsible for actual shipping charges in addition to the handling fee. Shipping charges for freight items will be C.O.D. (If NAVL allows. I had a few cases recently where they told me they no longer allowed COD and in those cases, shipping charges will need to be prepaid).
Your bid must adhere to the bid increment schedule.
