The Retrobotics Collection

Joust 2 (1986)


Freeplay

Bubbles (1983)


Deconverted form Double Play Baseball

Sinistar (1982)


We picked this up the very next day after Addams family. A deal too good to turn down. I actually looked at this machine and was concerned that it could be a reproduction, it looked so good. Nope, just turned out to be an excellent original survivor. It needed some board work, but nothing the FPGA cat box couldn't handle!

Dig Dug (1982)


Original Atari Dig Dug Cocktail. Serial numbers do not match, so it's a cobbled unit. To add credits, insert coin. This unit has no freeplay. Coins should be on the game or in the (unlocked) cashbox.

Smash T.V. (1990)


Golden Teed Smash TV project. Needs just about everything to bring it back to life. 25 inch version.

Space Shuttle (1984)


Needs major restoration, barely functioning.

Space Invaders Deluxe (1980)


Frankenstein SI with Braze Multigame test

Marble Madness (1984)


This is the Same game Sam and I first played Marble Madness together on at Roxy's Arcade Bar in Boston, MA! Somehow, by chance, we ended up with the exact same machine, years later.

Judge Dredd (1993)


Our fourth pinball machine, Judge Dredd was a the top of our list due to the immense variety of shots present in the game, along with excellent themes and gameplay.

Addams Family (1992)


Holy grail Addams Family. Running Gold roms, with some additional tasteful mods such as: Pinsound, Art Blades, 3D Printed book and thing signs, pit accelerators. We found this game near Chicago and drove all the way out to get it, in celebration of Sam getting her PHD. It was our longest arcade road trip together.

X-MEN (1992)


Other than minor flaking on bottom right of cabinet, perfect example.

Aliens (1990)


We got this board loose, from a member on KLOV. It was originally housed in our Dynamo HS-5 cabinet, but we later changed it to be housed in a Konami cabinet that we were able to find locally. However, that cabinet is/was in need of serious restoration, which has not been completed yet.

Gauntlet II (1986)


Gauntlet I conversion to Gauntlet II.

Centipede (1980)


This was the second game Sam and I ever picked up together. It's an early run version, with the pink outlined sideart.

I Robot (1983)


I Robot is an ultimate grail for us. The second game to real time render 3D objects after Cube Quest, and does it full time. The hardware Atari used for this was unique to the game, making it very difficult to find. Presently, we have a working PCB, but are in need of the plastic control panel, and a working Atari switching power supply.

Q*Bert (1982)


Orignal upright with Gottlieb raised letter coin door. Has mike doyle 10-1 Multi Gottlieb board installed. Press and hold both start buttons to switch games.

Millipede (1982)


Millipede was the second of two games that we got out of an old Operator warehouse in Hampton, VA. The roof had caved in, and water had destroyed many of the machines in there. Millipede was largely protected by its top glass, though the bottom did see some swelling. It was missing the monitor and PCB, but luckily we had both! An excellent and worthy sequel to Centipede.

Robotron: 2084 (1982)


Deconversion running JROK. Original sideart and marquee.

Ms. Pac-Man (1981)


Converted Midway Cocktail with Kickman Serial inside. Installed original Ms Pac wiring harness and rewired controls to suit it. G07 Monitor.

Qix (1981)


Qix is the seventh cocktail game to call our collection home. This particular example is all original, and is absolutely MASSIVE. We acquired this machine broken, in trade for servicing work on another machine. It needed a lot of work on the video section of the PCB set, as it was not generating colors correctly, nor was it working properly on the player 2 side. The monitor still needs a little work, but that's a problem for another day.

Galaga (1981)


Galaga is the game that everyone always asks us about. "Do you have Galaga yet?" "I'll come visit when there's Galaga!" Well, we finally have a Galaga! A total deconversion, but a Galaga nonetheless. Thanks to a wonderfully generous member on KLOV, we were able to acquire a full set of internals for the game. It's a great fit next to Space Invaders!

Major Havoc (1983)


This is an original Major Havoc conversion in a Space Duel cabinet. It came out of a Time Out arcade in New York. While it did have the original Space Duel/Havoc conversion panel, we have since replaced it with a panel by Takeman which can accommodate an original Major Havoc roller assembly.

Asteroids Deluxe (1980)


This was a valentines day pickup for me and Sam! We found this one in an abandoned house in West Virginia. The owner wanted to demolish the building, so she let us grab this game from inside. Ultimately, we were able to repair the whole thing!

Joust (1982)


Deconverted from Double Play baseball and fully restored using original hardware.

Crystal Castles (1983)


Original Atari Cocktail. This was the subject of six weeks of negotiations before the seller agreed to let us take this machine. Not many were made.

Inferno (1985)


Extremely rare Williams game designed by Python Anghelo. This cabinet was found in Ohio, converted to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Deconversion was a lengthy process which was covered on a thread on KLOV. This machine needed new paint, new artwork, used a Joust II PCB, and had a new CPO from Galloping Ghost. It does have an original marquee, which was graciously provided by a good friend. The only original internal parts were the monitor, power block, and AC harness. It is in need of proper blaster-style joysticks to round out the restoration.

Battlezone (1980)


This Battlezone was free! Pulled it out of a basement, completely dead, but complete. It took a lot of work on the vector generator to get this machine going again.

Space Duel (1982)


The cocktail version of Space Duel is probably the best way to play space duel. Simultaneous, head to head, dual player action... What's not to love? I have also developed a free play hack for Space Duel which works on the cocktail, makes it that much better.

Lunar Lander (1979)


Conversion from Asteroids

Gate of Doom (1990)


In some weird namco Jamma cabinet, not a Data East cab.

Space Station (1987)


Beautiful original Example. Battery replaced with permanent solution

Food Fight (1983)


Food Fight was rescued from an abandoned house in West Virginia, where it was located with 16 other machines. Unfortunately, during the time it took to locate the house from the sparse information available online, copper thieves raided the building, and destroyed all the monitors and stole PCBs and wiring harnesses. Luckily, with the help of KLOV, Food Fight was able to be resurrected. I did have to craft a new wiring harness and back door for it though.

Solar Fox (1981)


Beautiful condition, seems all original. To add credits, open coin door and actuate coin switch.

Asteroids (1979)


Not bad for a $25 cocktail.

Firefox (1984)


All original upright. Game works with repaired original laserdisc player, but amplifone raster monitor is touchy.

Mortal Kombat II (1993)


MK1 Cabinet deconverted from Police Trainer

TRON (1982)


Salvage restoration, was literally out in the snow. With exception of monitor, all original components, repaired.

Tempest (1981)


First machine Sam and I got together. Beautiful likely home-use machine, have all original documentation for it.
