Post by: harveybirdman on December 29, 2015, 09:25:29 am: I'm interested in what else you find among the unlabeled.

Lightning Fighters is a pretty cool game.

Post by: Slippyblade on December 29, 2015, 06:43:13 pm: For sure let us know when you start selling those out. I'd be interested in a couple.

Post by: CanadianRyGuy on December 29, 2015, 11:03:32 pm: Great find! Might be interested in the TMNT if it's one you're considering selling. Have a TMNT cab that would make it a good home :)

Post by: Aceldamor on December 30, 2015, 01:19:09 am: Nice grab man! A once in a lifetime snag me thinks. Local dude just dumping a collection? I've seen smaller lots like this mostly from people who've been in or owned arcades/routes.

Keep us in the loop on what you are going to get rid of...there are about 7-9 of those boards i'd like to get my hands on :)

Post by: slickam on December 30, 2015, 03:03:41 am: I saw that ad, and thought that it was an amazing deal for the price. I'm glad the boards went to a good home.

Let me get it all tested first and we'll go from there.

You are a better man than I, Charlie Brown.

I still have boardsets I haven't tested that I picked up more than 5 years ago. :dunno

Oh man! Why? I'd be on that in a heartbeat just to know i didn't have a bunch of junk laying around.

Yeah, except building a test rig or JAMMA converter for every single board is time-consuming. Also time-consuming to troubleshoot to determine if a board is junk/salvageable. Unless it is an active project (or if somebody is paying me a lot of money, which has never happened) it isn't worth the time.

Post by: johnrt on January 01, 2016, 02:48:12 pm: Man, that's an impressive list of boards!

Post by: DeLuSioNal29 on January 01, 2016, 05:12:17 pm: Sounds like a Dip switch setting on the Tetris boards. Perhaps one is set to cocktail mode? Did you try a 2 player game to see if they flip?
