alright i got this Super Masters control panel and marquee. both are in pretty good shape. here is a picture of both...
-
the marquee has one little scratch on the back of it, which i have a pic of if you are interested. its glued on plexiglass so you wont have to buy any more for it. the control panel works as far as i know, i never played it, and the only thing thats worn is the front player 1 button...the little man is kinda worn off. shown here
-
heres the inside
-
and i might as well show the little scratch...it looks big on the back, but you can barely see if from the front...you really have to look hard
-
heres the front of the marquee...as you can see...its pretty hard to see the scratch
-
oh and by the way i live in nashville, tn... so if you want to save on shipping, you can come get it ;D
-
Came off a 25" Jamma cab, did it? Looks like a standard Dynamo cabinet CP.
-
hmm, not sure about all that...heres the link to the game

I bid $20.
-
k, ill give it a day or two, and if no one bids higher you got it....where do you live? is it possible for you to pick it up?
-
Is this game MAMEd or emulated in any way?
-
not that i know of
-
*thinks if paigeoliver is interested in it then it must be worth something*
But if it's not MAMEulated then it won't do me any good. I have nothing to use the controls with.
-
I live in St. Louis. 63031.
Eh. As far as I know the game isn't emulated, nor are the controls really usable with anything. Just figured I could put the marquee on the wall, and save the panel for when the game does become emulated.
Plus I kind of wanted to see how the controls worked.
-
Seems like an interesting control. I wonder how it works. You think it uses a potentiometer or a spinner-type control? By the looks of the underside I've got my money on "potentiometer".
-
It looks to me like it contacts several different strips as it is pulled back. But I am not sure. That is the main reason I put in a bid. Just to see what is up with it.
-
If those strips are independant of each other then there sure are a whole bunch of them. That would sure make for an overly-complicated digital device. Couldn't possibly imagine where you would hook up so many wires to it, either. Maybe that part of the picture is hidden...
-
yeah its kinda like a spring loaded type thing thats on a spinner type mechanism. i dont know all the fancy words for it, but when you pull the lever down towards the bottom, and then let go, it snaps back to the top...just like a golf swing would work.
-
Paige and I were discussing the contact mechanism, though. There's no doubt that it rotates, but we were wondering if it's analog or digital. And if it's analog, is it a true rotary device or does it use a potentiometer?
-
well thats where it goes over my head :) i just know that it rotates! i can take more pics if you think it will help
-
That would be awesome. Can you get a close-up of that one part and also another shot of where it connects?
-
ah the power of a digital camera! here you go!
-
and again
-
and a little closer
-
Too wierd...
-
My guess would be reed switches and a magnet on the swing arm. Just a guess based on the shape of the bits on the PCB.

Yeah, they look like reed switches, don't they?
