PCB BOARD NON WORKING WANTED

[MameMaster!]

 
Greets all.

I'm looking for a NON working PCB board to mount in a frame as a display for my arcade room.

Does anyone have one they're willing to trade/sell for a few bucks?

I would prefer a flat board (no "levels") and one that's marked with the Sega, Nintendo, Atari etc. company name.

Thanks!

How about a Midway Omega Race board....... ?

There are non working boards on ebay all the time for $5 or less.

Heck, you could probably get a working one for dirt cheap as well.

 I like your idea. A framed PCB... Sweet. I have a few pinball playfields I am going to clean and artify for my gameroom, but your idea is pretty cool, too. Mind if I steal it?

I did something like this, but I didn't frame them.  The boards I have on the wall work, so I may occasionally use them.

There is an overhang in my basement ceiling for ductwork right over the games where I placed some marquees and I screwed in some eye hooks to hang some boards from, as well as a small shelf that I place various controls for "decoration".  Somehow I doubt my tastes will ever grace the pages of the House & Garden style guide, but it suits me.

ps - sorry mamemaster, I don't have any non-working boards for you.  But APFelon is right, you can pick up working boards real cheap, too.  I've purchased a number of working jamma boards for $10 or less.

That's cool...I would like to make a "joystick" display of classic console controls someday.

Regarding the board....most people that I show my cab to don't have the slighted clue as to how big each of these boards really are (especially for the 80's games).

I thought it would be neat to frame it like art......

Thanks for the pic though!

PS- I picked up a working Zaxxon (great classic in my book) on ebay over the weekend for $30. (including shipping).....I'll post a pic when I'm done framing this baby.....this is artwork to me!

I did this with the first IBM As/400 I ever worked on.  I threw the case out after I gutted it.

 My wife had the motherboard framed for me.  Unfortunately, it was busted during our move.

It was a thick board, so the frame was big bucks.  Definitely get a thin one.

I considered mounting it like you did....but came to the conclusion it's too expensive.

I'm planning on gluing it to a piece of foam core (most likely white or black and mounting that in a standard picture frame with no glass so you could actually touch the board.

I figure that would be the easiest/cheapest way to do it.

Good idea.  Might as well let 'em feel the sweetness of the board  

I'm going to yank my glass right now and get this sucker back on the wall.

Nice decorations Oscar.

So far on my gameroom wall I have a complete NOS "Hunchback Olympics" conversion kit (on foamcore), NOS X-Men (COTA) and Black Tiger sideart, a Road Fighter poster, PGA Tour Golf and Kramer Krane marquees.

I also have a bunch of stuff I haven't put up yet. Marquees (Omega Race, Meltec's Big Mouth, Ajax, and a marquee that is either a Bootleg MVS marquee or a prototype MVS marquee), an NOS Willis Asteroids overlay, and some other odds and ends (Kangaroo glass, Dig Dug glass, complete Kangaroo panel, and aTac/Scan panel).

I have framed Pump it Up and Star Wars flyers on top of my fridge, a framed Puppy Pong promotional picture in the living room as well as a framed Millipede flyer and another whose name escapes me in the gameroom.
