Dedicated Prop Cycle (smaller version) and dedicated Gyruss games for
sale in Northern VA. Asking $600 for Prop Cycle and $400 for Gyruss.

Also open to trades, preferable for pins. I have too many arcade
cabinets but can never have enough pins. ;)

Nice Gyruss

By the way, your cardboard bezel in the Gyruss is upside down.
I don't know why most people have it reversed like that :)

I guess they just figure the artwork is supposed to go along the top of
the monitor but it's wrong.

Agreed. I think it's also because the original setup was to have the
cardboard bezel up against the back of the plexi - until a Star Tech
journal article came out (or people just figured it out!) suggesting
to push the cardboard back so that onlookers could better see the game
play - and encourage them to drop a few quarters! Once it's pushed
back against the monitor, it doesn't fit correctly (too short?) - and
flipping probably makes it look better.

The machine is in great shape, BTW - typically you see flaking and
scratches in the artwork since I guess it was an easy graffiti-target
back in the day.
Best of luck with the sale - looks like a good deal.
