I recently sold my BattleZone game for $200.  It was a lot of fun
but after a while ,when you turned, all of the lines were double images.
This wasn't really a problem, though.  I sold it because I was sick
of playing it and was ready for a new game.

About replacement handles for Battlezone:  They loosen up after
awhile and the replacement parts to stiffen them up were about
$20 - $30.
Parts aren't hard to find, but you pay for them.  I bought my spare
handles from an Atari dealer in Los Angeles.

Does anyone know how much a Star Wars game costs nowadays?
