Price Check: Defender Cocktail
« on: March 29, 2017, 10:44:45 PM »
Ok guys. This is the only photo i have.

We assume the boards are in there. We assume the monitor is in there.
If everything is in there...
whats the ball park pricing ?

If the boards are not in there...
If the monitor isnt firing up...
Whats a ball park pricing ?

Owner wants $400. But im clueless on what these guys fetch.
Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks Neil

$200 after plugging it in where it sits and seeing if it will light up, probably the batteries have corroded the boards, and will need replacing.  The monitor should display a gray screen of frozen symbols of garbage, if there is movement, then the board is 1/2 alive.  If nothing, no screen, then it has sat too long, and if it has Duracell batteries, everything inside could be corroded and need replacing.  Maybe $100 or less, depending on guts left.  If the batteries were removed, and tries to start up, quickly restart by turning it off/on after a minute of run time, and then it should go thru testing @35 seconds and display game.  $300? then.  It needs a really good cleaning...

cocktails are a tough crowd.  :)

agree, the corrosion battery problem with William's cocktails are well documented...

I'd have to say, $100 no boot, protects you as a buyer. (CRT is worth $100 bucks). everything above that is gravy.
