This is my 2nd Asteroids Deluxe. I sold the first one and have regretted it since. I was on the lookout for a nice AD and one popped up on the local Craigslist. The first two pix were taken as the machine looked when I brought it home. The story is that it had been sitting in a storage facility for at least 4 years. There is only about 11,000 ticks on each of the two coin counters so this cab hasn't seen a whole lot of duty. Here is how she looks cleaned up a bit. This is absolutely the nicest looking cabinet I've picked up ever. There really isn't a lot to be done. I cleaned up everything, added a black light, fixed the starter on the marquee… and that is it! I didn't even need to replace the plug (as I have had to do with about 75% of the cabs I get (must be a lot of 2-prong outlets around here?). The monitor is beautiful… the side art is outstanding… etc.
I suppose I could stand to replace the CPO…it's only in about 7/10 shape, but I might just keep it stock for a while.
