Arcade Collecting > Merit/JVL Touchscreen
Firefly eBay find
Spank:
Verry nice.
game_nerd:
really cool, I've never seen or heard of a megatouch firefly.
Where were they sold? I'm guessing restaurants or the like?
Cool find and repair, regardless.
Megatouchmike:
Yes they were sold to restaurants. Meant to take with you to your table. Neat little machines, only very few were made
MasterOfNone:
Beautiful work guys. Congrats.
The only Firefly I've seen that didn't have broken screen mounts was NOS. For the others, I'm a marine epoxy guy (plus a bit of "shoe-goo"), which'll hold forever, but yours are more elegant..., and nice for us kooks who care about how it looks on the inside too. Great job.
I play enough of 2014 on other machines, so I'm happy with an original 2010 Firefly, but it's still super that you got 14 running as an option.
These machines are cute as hell for us collectors, but otherwise, maybe they're more evidence for why Merit went out of business. Seriously, how long could this fragile little handheld realistically survive being pounded, carried and passed around by kids and drunks? Maybe if the whole thing was made out of rubber, including the touchscreen? lol
As mahkey knows, I'm still in need of hardcore chip-level motherboard t-shooting and repair for a heat-damaged Firefly (Portwell ATOM N270 with some pretty unique elements), but I'm doubting there's anyone on earth willing or able. It's in nice shape otherwise though. Maybe someday...
