Nintendo VS System, Dual Cocktail Style
Arcadiac:
Does anyone here have one of these? It is the red cocktail style system, that you can change out chips or whatever to switch games. The info at KLOV is minimal at best. I have an opportunity to buy 2 of these, near mint condition, for what I believe is a reasonable price. Does anyone here know where I can get comparison pricing/values for arcade systems? Any help/info/links would be appreciated. Thanks! ARCADIAC

I am not 100% sure, but I believe you have to switch out the game boards to switch games. I have a Vs. Hogan's alley, and it is a full board, but connects with 2 non Jamma connectors. As far as I have seen you can get the vs. games pretty cheap, so it could be a fun cab to switch out boards when you get bored with one.
Good luck, Patrick.
P.S. If you want the 100% working Hogan's alley Board, with the light gun, just let me know ;)

There are a couple of different Vs systems. There's the dual and the single system. Super Mario Brothers runs on the single system which was on a 2 person upright. Vs Tennis ran on the dual monitor coctail.

I had a dual vs upright and the games were changed by changing the chips on the board.

Sorry, maybe I wasn't very clear. These are two working Dual arcade cocktail systems. One has Super Mario Bros on one side and Excitebike on the other side. The other machine has RBI Baseball and Some Boxing, Ring King clone on it. Both machines turn on and both monitors (2 ea.) are crisp and clear. KLOV has a pic but I can't link from the computer I'm using right now, will link later. I didn't get a chance to play then because they were boxed in, ready to be taken to auction in Sept.
The owner also is tossing in several conversion sets, some complete, some not. The games are just not something he wants to "mess with" he says. And I can get them for less than $400 the pair. In your opinion is that a good price? I think its a steal, but I'n new at this and don't really know. So, what do you think? Just looking for a little guidance as stated in the first post. Thanks all! ARCADIAC
