Unfortunately I do not have the Red Baron upright anymore. I sold it to a guy in Alabama later that year. Sorry about that, and good luck.

Do you still have the Red Baron console? I’ve been looking for one.

I don’t have any stand up arcade units to trade, though I do have a vast collection of antique computers (pets, kaypros, heathkits, trs-80s, apples, macs, pcs, etc). I also have two Atari 2600′s and a pile of carts.

It seems to be a fairly rare game, I know I haven't seen any Tunnel Hunt's naturally in participating on forums and such in the past three years. They don't just 'pop up', but I imagine a fairly specific demand. Good old Red Barons and vector games, they seemed to be fairly problematic. I hadn't really 'tested' out the joystick, but certainly the parts including that joystick are probably worth a lot more than the whole item complete. I hope I can get the Red Baron as one piece though to someone who really loves the games and wants it.

Nice find with the Tunnel Hunt. The last time I saw one of those was a trip to Chuck E. Cheese, back in 1983. Not very impressive when it comes to gameplay, but a super rare game, with a well designed cabinet.

I don't think I've EVER seen a working Red Baron. Same with Food Fight – usually the gimbal joystick is the culprit. Every one I run into, the joystick flops over to one side, like a broken Atari 5200 controller.

But for $40, Who can complain?
