Picked one up for a good price yesterday, in good condition, is there
any worth to these small cabaret machines??

Thanks.

It seems like these only get what the parts are worth or less these
days even though they are slightly rare. I have a nice one but have not
even considered selling it due to the lack of interest. I like the
machine a lot though, much easier to move then those huge ur beasts.

Yeah, it's pretty strange when the pcb set goes for more then half the
value of the game.

I have to disagree about one thing about the standup version. Sticking
your face into that shroud gives that game its whole meaning. When that
game was produced the comcept was way ahead of the industry.

I like the mini and if I collected minis I would look for a BZ but the
standup is everything a TANK battle should be.

The minis dont bring in what they used to. If you didnt pay much for
it, keep it! its worth every penny.

well, battlezone ur really don't demand that much either (compared to other
vectors).

Don't know why, I love mine.

i sold mine on ebay less than a year ago, it was near mint, fully
working 100% and clean. it only fetched $320.
they dont sell for what they should it seems. the boards and monitor
are worth more than that.
its worth more parted out (like space dual, tempest (sometimes) and a
host of others.

Whats even more interesting is the guy that did the game hates the Upright
model. He didn't like that the shroud blocks so much of the view for other
people. The designer has a caberat in his collection

any opinions on the open faced model?
i need the front pieces that cover the monitor for mine if anyone has
extras to sell.
