Any interest out there for Black Widow Sideart or CPO repros?

owTutorial=0&ed=986314269&indexURL=0&rd=1

I could use both and know the NOS artwork is out there for both. If we could
show a demand exists I am sure Arcade Renovations or Arcade Shop would do
it.

What do you think?

Plus, I already did a round of CPO repros, so I think I hit up most of the
market. I've spoken with Arcade Renovations, and if there is enough demand,
they will produce new CPOs (silk-screened, die cut) from my art.

Email them and let them know!

As for side art, AR produced Centipede side art for $150 per set. BW side
art is about the same size, but I'm sure there is a much lower demand for it
than Centipede. Therefore I would expect the price to be higher. Would you
still be interested in it at $200-$250 per-set? If so, let Arcade
Renovations know.

How about Space Duel?? I'm getting one that sounds like it could use a CPO and
maybe some side art? I'm pretty sure there are more of these around than Black
Widow's...?

1550 dedicated units?

How many conversion kits?

Is that number including conversion kits?

All those old production numbers sound low to me. But I have nothing to base
my opinion on so I guess I have to accept them for the most part.
thanks for input...

Those numbers are dedicated units -- I have no data regarding conversion
kits.

If I recall, the "dedicated units" were factory conversions of unsold Gravitars.

Wild speculation, but I'd expect the number of kits ("field conversions" in Atari speak)
to be significantly higher than the above number.

I have a set of unapplied NOS Black Widow side art. I'd be prepared to take it somewhere
(local, Portland) to be scanned, probably not willing to ship it to someone I've never met.

That would be me. I got the numbers from an internal document I found in one
of my manual buys from an ex- Atari employee. You can add this to the list-

I, Robot 750 units produced. I saw this document last week. The owner would
not let me have it.
