QR Code Link to This Post
This is an authentic 1986 Arkanoid upright, licensed by Romstar and sourced directly from my private collection. No flips. No fixes. Just a clean, unrestored original with the real CRT, original Romstar PCB, and spinner dial control. Fully playable, set to free play with a credit button above the coin door.
🎮 Functionality Overview:
• CRT is a bright, solid picture with occasional red channel dropout.
• Spinner is smooth and responsive classic feel, some delay
• Right fire button works clean
• The left fire button is inoperable.
• No audio : I never investigated
• Coin door intact with credit button mod
• Cabinet wear includes graffiti, edge wear, route marks pure arcade patina
• Never gutted, never Renovated
✨ This piece is for a real collector or restorer.
You put a couple hundred in parts and polish it a little and it's flawless.
Or just play it like I did. I’ve driven hundreds of miles for games like this. This isn’t some garage find → it’s part of a curated vault of originals.
