| Sinistar Arcade Board: Repair or Sell, and how much it will require in parts. |
| (1/2) > >> |
| kazriko:
I've been lugging this arcade board from house to house for 24 years or so. I got it in trade for some PC memory in the 90's and had intended to build a cabinet back then to run it, but 25 years later and I still haven't done it. It's been taking up space in my shed or garage for over half my life now, so it's time to either fix it and build a cabinet for it, or sell it. What would it take to test this and see if it works, and/or how much in parts would it take to build something for it? There's a microcenter about 4 hours away that sells cabinet parts, but might need to find a monitor and any other components it would take to wire it up. The former owner didn't apparently have the wiring harness for it, so he soldered the wires straight to the connectors, that seems like it would be a big hurdle towards properly running it. Also, a mud dauber wasp decided to use some memory chips as a nest, so that might be an issue. Attached are some images of the board, and the joystick that came with it. The IO board is attached to the joystick and removed from the backplane. |

However...If you decide to fix it and build a cab, I would strongly suggest a board repair service (Such as Eldorado games) Using what you got there as a core, Before attempting any repairs yourself (unless you happen to be really good with a solder gun and a chip work of course), Any less than perfect, and it is nothing more than a box of parts and old dreams...Thx Scott ;). |
