Picked up for $250.

I loved this game when I found a cheap crapped out cab about a year ago. Sold it because it looked horrible. So was pleased to score ScooterDealers Zaxxon Mini. I know it was discussed here before somewhere, but it has a ball joystick instead of the normal Zaxxon control stick. The Zaxxon Mini Op manual confirms the normal Zaxxon control stick on the photo on the front of the manual.

The funny thing is the CPO is completely different on the one on the cover of the manual than what is on mine. Graphics and button locations are different. Does anyone know if they, in fact, did ship some of these out with ball style joysticks? Also, notice the cool, blue striped T-molding :)

That's pretty sweet. I never even knew Sega made a Zaxxon mini cabinet. Those look far cooler than the actual uprights.

Good luck finding t-moding if you should have to replace it! :)

Is Gremlin's name on the manual as well? That might be a clue.

Is the joystick mounted to an adapter plate? If so then it's a Wico joystick conversion kit.

I'm about to part out a Zaxxon cabinet, let me know if you're interested in the stick. It's not as nice as the Wico you have, but it's original. When I get back home this weekend I can send you some pix.

Nice machine, hope it works out for you and at that price it doesn't appear to break the bank for a good re-addition. If a better condition full standing Zaxxon came along would you part with this apparently more unique cabinet variation?

No way :) This cab is much nicer looking in my opinion.

I love seeing arcade collections. This is pretty much on topic, but do you have pictures of your full arcade collection posted up somewhere. I would love to look at it.

I need to get some photos of the garcade. It's so tight in there, it's kind hard getting good photos :)
