Hi all,

 

A mate of mine says he has an " original " Galaga cocktail table in good condition fully working and coin operated ( personally I havent seen it and I know the word "original" in this industry can mean many things! ).

 

Anyway. what would be a good asking price for such a machine "if" it is as described?

 

The unit is in sydney.

 

Cheers

Tell him it's worth not much and offer him $75 and tell him your doing him a favour by carting the POS out of his house and away. LOL Kidding:D

i dont know but i know someone that might be interested

 

got pics?

 

 

Good point - you beat me to it.. To me an original Galaga Table Top would be similiar to this, well the machine that would sit under this..! I know its YANK, but it sure is nicer that a generic Taito with Galaga CP and board..

I'd love to buy those and build a machine around them.

Hi all,

 

Finally got to see this unit over the weekend.

 

OK- it is just a generic tabletop in fair to average condition that has what looks to be a 14' monitor ( it is pretty small ) - it all works well, the player 2 controls are perfect cosmetically, the player 1 side is missing part of the panel but works fine. The glass is clear and unscratched ( well nothing major ) and it has Gallag instruction sheets under it.

 

So .......a dollar guess??? anyone???...I have no idea.:confused: :unsure :confused:

 

Wotto:D :o :D

Generic Table top cab (preferably Taito): $350.00

Gallag Arcade Game board: $150.00

 

Desirability: $100.00

 

If you get it for $500 and the glass is good you would think that's a fair price. It all depends on the condition.. Personally I don't like the LAI tables etc and will only buy the Taito's - and only if they are in good condition.

 

I recently bought a good taito table top (minus glass) with an original Ladybug game for $300.00. To me that was a good buy.

i would offer around $300 -$500 from a buying perspective

but from a sellers point of view it should be worth $500 - $700 in the condition you described :cool:

there are original dedicated tables (and uprights) out there :D

leisure and allied and others used to bring out at least 1 original cabinet of a popular game from the states or japan etc for testing and if it made good money they would build lai versions :badgrin

I always wondered what l/a did when making the cabinets. So they imported some dedicated us ones, stuffed up and made shit looking ones for us. Why didn't they just copy the ones imported??

I suppose there originals would be in collections or landfill by now.

I saw a guy at work playing Galaga the other day and I told him I had a Galaga cocktail table like that at home and he asked me what they're worth, I told about $1000 and he said is that all, it looks like I'm selling mine. :badgrin
