I wish I had taken some pictures of the game when I got it home. To the right are
pictures during restoration. I knew it was a non-working game maybe missing a
few parts but when I got it (11/02/99) , it was basically an empty cabinet. Just
the PIC tube, metal chassis, no deflection board, no hi voltage unit, no boards
in the card cage, no power supply. It did have a complete wiring harness and
a control panel in great condition. The cabinet was solid but it did not have
the back doors and the side art had a lot of bad spots but not real bad. I felt
like I paid to much for it (total of $433.77 including shipping) and after talking
it over with Andrew he made me an offer to make up for the difference. In
return he gave me a $350.00 credit on any game he had. I used it to get a complete
but not working Baby Pac-man which now also works 100%. Thanks Andrew, you
were more than fair with me. |
Star Trek Arcade Game This is a nice looking non-working dedicated Star Trek arcade game. Cabinet in exceptional shape and will make a great find and restoration project. A Wells Gardner X-Y Monitor manual is included. See pics for more details. Check out my other Star Trek up on ebay by clicking on the link below. Buy them both and swap parts on your way to a fully working one! No Reserve!! Bid early and often to make this beautiful Star Trek yours. |
Star Trek Dedicated Upright |
This is the story of my second SEGA Star Trek game. It all start's with Ebay "The
place you hate but can't get enough of." I saw this game on Ebay and at the time
I had a Star Trek in an Asteroids cabinet and I still wanted a dedicated upright
and a cockpit for my collection. The cockpit came later and is another story.
If you haven't guessed by now yes I am a BIG Star Trek fan and one of my goal's
is to have a complete collection of Star Trek games both video and pinball.
Back to the story. As with most of my Ebay auctions I was out bid by my Webtv
dead beet bidder (yes the same one) and after he gave the seller (MrCulpy) the
run-a-round he offered it to me. Below is the pictures that was on the Ebay auction
page. As you can see the game looks nice in the pictures but we now know
it's not always what you see but what you can't see that makes buying a game on
Ebay a crap shoot. Below is the description taken word for word from the Ebay
auction. |
Well, this is when I got the great Idea to use the guts out of my Star Trek that
was in the Asteroids cabinet and I started collecting the parts I needed to restore
the Asteroids Cabinet back into an Asteroids. I didn't waste any time and
began looking for parts. Mark Stroup posted an add on the news group for X-Y color
Electrohome G08 parts for sale. I emailed him and turns out he was parting
out 2 Star Treks, one in a dedicated cabinet. He sold me a complete card cage board
set, power supply/audio amp, 90% complete deflection board and here is the
best part an original 2 piece back door all for $185.00 shipped. Thanks again
Mark. That meant all I had to use was my G08 monitor out of my Asteroids conversion.

The game is now in the garage waiting for me to repaint the coin door or maybe replace
it and a few other cosmetic touches. I have NOS side art for the right side
so I may replace it, then again maybe not. End of story for now |
See my Baby Pac-man page for the Story of my Road Trip to Maple Shade, NJ to meet
Andrew Culpovich in person to pickup my Free Baby-Pac and on the way we stopped
off in Wilmington Delaware to pick up a Lunar Lander for my friend and a BurgerTime
for me. I drove 745 miles round trip that day. What a trip that turned out
to be. :-) |
