For Sale - There are 3 VAPS members with Gravitar machines for sale. VAPS members are totally independent of VAPS and the International Arcade Museum, and we are unable to recommend, endorce, or guarantee any person or company selling games or game parts.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. [More Information]

Technical

This boardset uses the same wiring as Space Duel, except for the controls. So, for testing purposes, a Gravitar PCB could be plugged directly into a Space Duel cabinet.
