Sell or Trade me your working Tempest board
by Sean McLachlan 30 Nov '04

30 Nov '04

If you have a *working* Tempest board, I'd like to buy/trade for it. I have working Asteroids, Pac-Man, Ms.Pac, Donkey Kong, DK Jr, Centipede, Marquees, a working WG 4900 monitor, etc. If you are the handy type (this is you Chris Strong) I have 2 Tempest boards + $ that I would swap for 1 good one. One of my boards plays blind, one is DOA. Both are complete and have good ROMs. And a public thanks to Kurt, who loaned me several boards in an attempt to get one working. I did get one to play blind after about 3 hours of fiddling, but there is no X or Y output. And no, it's not the one I'm offering to trade. :) Sean McLachlan

Anyone have some .900 size tokens?
by Sean McLachlan 19 Nov '04

19 Nov '04

I only need a couple to test the coin mechs I have been converting. I want to make sure I can make them work before I buy a thousand or so off of ebay. When I get all my games switched over, I'll have a couple hundred .984 size tokens if anyone wants them. Sean McLachlan MIS Manager, LithoFlexo grafics inc. 801.484.8503 sean(a)lithoflexo.com

I have about 15 Stern Power Supply PCBs that I really don't need. They are the type used for Tutankahm, Scramble, Rescue, Lost Tomb, Super Cobra, Amidar, etc. etc. etc. Anyone have interest in them? Oh, all are, of course, untested. :) Later, jeff

I came across this video related to pinball playfield glass. I would imagine the same appies with thetepered glass bezels on our arcade machines. Tempered glass is cool especially when it explodes! 3+ minutes of useless fun. http://www.georgiapinball.org/glass.ram

I saw this a lot too late and you all probably have seen it already but I always think it's neat to find old stuff brand new. But seriously what do you *DO* witha boxed arcade game.... "Ummmm... that's a great box you have there..." hehe http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=13716&item=612602 7886&rd=1 http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6126027662&fromMakeTra ck=true

Dealing with the ops ;)
by Chris Hardy 03 Nov '04

03 Nov '04

Well, I went down to my local Op/buyer and talked to him. Here is his story. A semi came in, and everything sold right off. ST:TNG 1650, TAF 1450, and FT 2200. (Those are WACKY numbers, not at all right for the machines). HE told me they cleaned out the storage areas, and that they will have more pins. He then went into a tirade on how ebay is no longer the haven for selling Arcade games, how the market is slumping (which should be good for me, in future negotations, no?) And that they would have more pins soon. Very interesting... Very... ;) -- Artoo-Detoo, you know better than to trust a strange computer. -- C3PO "Star Wars : The Empire Strikes Back" Chris Hardy (chris(a)hardys.org or support(a)mission.net)

RaElCo 2N6259 's
by Sean McLachlan 03 Nov '04

03 Nov '04

Well they came in yesterday, and they are indeed 6259's. I had a fear they would really be a cross, but they aren't. Just something to file away. BTW, I blew 3 of the 4 of them last night. *sigh* The complete tale will be on vectorlist in a bit. If anyone here has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.
