Picked up a full-sized Atari Asteroids yesterday(02/22/20) from down near Seaside Heights, NJ. It is in surprisingly good condition and was dirt cheap at $400.
Best of all, it works!
The control panel had a poorly installed Willis overlay on it when I picked up the game. I stripped that off and installed a nice reproduction overlay from ArcadeShop.com.
Overall I am thrilled with the game. The cabinet is in extremely nice original condition and it even came with the better Electrohome G05-801 vector monitor.
The only things left to do are install cap-kits for the monitor and power supply. And then there is a fuse holder that's been hacked on the power brick. But besides those little things all I really have to do is play!
There are a lot more pictures HERE.
