1982 Centuri TIME PILOT dedicated Video Arcade Game

Description: WORKING DESCRIPTION:This game is working perfectly. The monitor has been rebuilt and has a great picture (it is a Wells Gardner 19k4900). I know the picture looks messed up in the photos above, but that is just because the shutter speed on this iPhone is faster than the refresh rate on the monitor. Why they don't allow you to change the shutter speed on iPhone I don't know. The game is running on all original hardware. I rebuilt the monitor myself. The controls work perfectly. It is using the original Monroe joystick, which has a very unique feel and a perfect feel for playing Time Pilot. Marquee has new light bulb and starter, coin door lights are new (and LED), and it has a new lock on the coin door. Game has coin mechs and original back door. It is currently on Free Play, but can be switched to coin operation simply. This is another difficult game to find these days. Especially in an original cabinet with nice original artwork all around. I know, most games are hard to find these days. But some are definitely more difficult than others. Time Pilot is a really fun shooter where you start off fighting WW1 era planes and blimps, and then travel forward in time to fight faster, newer, and more deadly military planes progressively until you reach the future and are fighting UFOs, presumably in the role of Space Force. This game was really well designed and programmed, and has a great feel as you kind of roll clockwise and counterclockwise using the unique Monroe joystick, firing at everything. There are people needing rescue dropping in parachutes, as well as enemies flying in formation that give a bonus if all are destroyed, which adds a little depth to the game and scoring. This game is not only one of Centuri's funnest games, but it also has some of the best videogame artwork from the golden era. The entire side is covered with beautiful, colorful artwork. CONDITION and RATINGS for THIS SPECIFIC MACHINE: Cosmetically, this game is in pretty decent condition for a "survivor." The marquee is original and has some minor paint flaking on the back side, but still looks very good. The cabinet is solid and in very good condition. No busted corners or water damage. The sideart is decent but not perfect. It has some scratches and blemishes, and is faded a bit on one side. The coin door is nice and has new lock and coin mechs. If you need any more pictures or have any questions, please let me know - I'm happy to answer.

They will bring it right inside your house (ground floor only). This is for the 48 contiguous United States only. If you want this shipped internationally, it will cost extra and we will have to discuss it and get a shipping quote before you pull the trigger. Regarding shipping time, North American Van Lines only picks up from my location once a week. So shipping will probably take between 7 and 14 days depending on where you are in the country. In some rare cases possibly longer. For what it's worth, I have been collecting (hoarding) games for over 30 years and selling them on eBay since about 1997. I have probably shipped two thousand games (many but not all on eBay), from individual games to full containers. You won't find a more reputable seller...check my feedback. Unfortunately, I cannot provide a money-back guarantee on this just because a lot can happen in shipping. What I CAN guarantee is that if you pick the game up, or if not when the game leaves my hands, it will be exactly as described and photoed above. And in 30 years of selling, I have never left anyone in the lurch or ripped anyone off. I'm a fair, honest guy...ask anyone.
