Crazy Climber Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 reserved .. Vectrex #3 (NISB-NOS) Are you going to open it or leave it sealed? I opened mine, I know, I just totally devalued it by opening it but I wanted to play it and I got a decent deal so I figured why not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PitfallHarry2600 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 With all your vectrex hoarding you better get a Japan model for the line up.... How cool is that!! I want one, but never found one at a decent price. I guess a guy used to bring them to the MGC (reasonable priced) but I never saw any... Does the title screen on a Kousukusen say "Copyright Bandai XXXX" unlike the Us and Euro model that say "Copyright GCE/MB XXXX" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you man, I know I devalued mine CONSIDERABLY by opening it but it's sooooo nice to have a MINT system to play on, not a scratch or speck of dirt anywhere, screen is nice and bright too, very cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxpressed Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Are nitromikee's console boxes moldy/mildewy? I bought a few new games from him last year, and they smelled that way. The staples were rusted on some of the manuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The staples were rusted on some of the manuals. My console was great, maybe a bit of a "basement" smell but NO mold or water damage, smell might even just be the games, they were a mixed bag, some good, some bad, some REALLY bad, lol He gave me a great deal though so I'm happy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otaku Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I miss mine. I restored my controller but wish I'd known about the euro controllers. Everyone who has had one of these seems to have had better luck with them. I just had a multicart to. I will collect this again someday you have inspired me to do so someday! Last time was really just for gaming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRaider Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 Awesome collection man! How do you get your consoles so clean? Some look brand new! Thank you for the compliment. I guess I need to take some pics and create a thread, showing what I use to clean my consoles with, besides lots of elbow grease... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 besides lots of elbow grease... Thats really what it comes down to right...patience, attention to detail and elbow grease You should get into restoring arcade machines, you would fit right in with that crew, the things those guys do are amazing! I lack the patience myself but admire those that have it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRaider Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 That's funny you mention that, as I have decided that I must finally acquire a late 70's Atari Football Arcade Machine, which I want to look/operate like it just came off the assembly line. Also have a few people keeping their eyes peeled for a Lunar Lander machine too. Patience, focus, effort = Big Reward !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
