  • Year: 1988
  • Brand: Data East
  • Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
  • Game Title: Cobra Command
  • Condition: This game is working perfectly. The monitor is a 25" rebuilt Wells Gardner 25k7000. The game is running on all original hardware. Cosmetically, it is in excellent condition. The marquee and bezel are original and in excellent condition. The cabinet is solid and in very very good shape. It looks like there are a few minor flaws, but only visible from the inside of the cabinet. No problems seen from the outside, and the minor flaws from the inside are no big deal. The sideart is actually NOS brand new on both sides. The coin door is excellent and has new locks, coin mechs, and the original coin box. You could not find a nicer Cobra Command dedicated game. The Control panel overlay is in great condition, but does have minor cracking along the top bend. This is a SUPER rare cabinet. Cobra Command was mostly a kit game. This is the ONLY dedicated 25" Cobra Command I have ever seen, and I have owned over 5000 games and seen probably a million.
  • Original/Reproduction: Original

    Description

    WORKING DESCRIPTION:
    This game is working perfectly. The monitor is a 25" rebuilt Wells Gardner 25k7000. The game is running on all original hardware.
    The coin door is excellent and has new locks, coin mechs, and the original coin box.  You could not find a nicer Cobra Command dedicated game.   This is a SUPER rare cabinet.  Cobra Command was mostly a kit game.  This is the ONLY dedicated 25" Cobra Command I have ever seen, and I have owned over 5000 games and seen probably a million.
    This game does have new LED bulbs behind the marquee, new LED coin door lamps, and new locks. Also, I rebuilt the monitor myself and it has a perfect picture.
    I should take a moment and tell you that this is really a fun game.  This is an early installment in the "SHMUP" or Shoot-em-up genre.  It is VERY fun and has good depth and game play.

    LOCATION:
    This game is located in sunny, beautiful downtown McLean, IL 61754.  That's right...in the heart of Classic Arcade World where Arcadia: America's Playable Arcade Museum, Pinball Paradise, and Hotel Arcadia are located!  I suggest buying this game and then making its pickup a fun family road trip!  We have over 140 playable games and luxurious arcade-themed lodging options.  Contact me for more details or look for hotel Arcadia on airbnb.
    SHIPPING:
    Included in the price is FREE WHITE GLOVE SHIPPING from North American Van Lines.  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.
