St. Louis auction report
paigeoliver:
Pricing was strange. Overall it seemed cheap stuff was a bit higher than normal and a lot of the classics were going a bit low. Specifically Williams cocktails, as almost every Williams Cocktail in existance was there and they were going LOW. Bubbles for $200. Joust $450. Moon Patrol $210, etc, etc, etc.
I sold my Mame for $800.
I bought a Williams Pro Tennis 4 player that worked, but could use some recapping action for $50. (This is a 4 player Pong clone, upright, good shape, last tax sticker on it expired in 1975).
I also bought a Magical Touch bartop that didn't power up, for $25. As soon as I got it home I tried an AT power supply in it and it powered right up and booted. It should work perfect as soon as I connect the OTHER power connections.
I bought a dead jap slot for $25.
Finally I bought a complete (and apparently NOS) kit for a game I have never heard of, Dark Horse: World Derby Championship. It appears to be an 8-liner harness, it came with board, 2 sides of sideart and two control panels (the control panels still had the peel back plastic on them).
Dave bought a "dead" jap slot for $20 that powered right up when he plugged it in. He also bought a "US Games" bartop touchscreen that was powering up to a keyboard error ($80), we plugged in a keyboard and it works flawlessly. The battery on the motherboard will need to be replaced to operate it without a keyboard.
I saw alot of KLOV members there and quite a few BYOAC and RGVAC members as well.
I will post more details later, as I still have a "Pro Tennis" (Pong) to carry into my house.

Ok, abit more about that horse board.
Mongo said he thought it was 8-liner pinout, BUT I looked at the board good and said to myself, "no way, wrong amount of pins, that is jamma". It is JAMMA and boots up to garbage. I reseated the chips and still got garbage, BUT it seems like a very new game, AND if you touch any of the caps in the audio area you get a loud squeal. I am betting that it has bad caps, as A LOT of defective caps went out a few years back.
I searched both google and google groups and found ZERO mention of this game.
BUT this is apparently an undumped game and although the control panels seem gambling based, it isn't actually a gambling game as there is no payout!! It only has the JAMMA edge connector and two JAMMA plus connectors which match up via ribbon cable to the 2 control panels.
Soulcon:
Isn't that that Game where you have 4 players each riding a fiber glass horse? I saw it in my Odessey Fun World in town a few years back. But since you have control panels it might be a button masher type game to make the horse run faster?

Nope, that isn't it. This board is JAMMA and this board has a 36 MHZ processor on it, neither one of which existed in 1982.
