Title: Save this stuff from the trash...(Free+ Shipping)
Post by: TacoSmuggler on April 04, 2003, 01:01:01 am
Okay....I know how some of you guys like free stuff.  ;D

I Just finished my Mame cab and I gotta get rid of alot of the odd parts I have collected since I started thinking of building a Mame cab. Anyone who wants any of these parts just send me a PM...or reply. I WILL NOT strip parts off of any of these. (My hands are soooo tired...I am taking a break from my projects)

They are each pretty heavy, so whoever wants them will have to pay for shipping. Or you can come pick them up near Albany, NY. I bought a HUGE lot of control panels at an auction. Some are crap. Some are ok.
I also have ALOT of playchoice ten control panels and Joysticks(?compatible with donkey kong? ???) that I need to get rid of. I'll post a pick of those if someone wants.

If nobody wants these they are going in the trash next week.

Here is a pick of the parts...

Did you get those at the Pennsauken Auction back in January? If so that was my first auction and I was drooling over that pile of control panels.

it would be worth your while to put the lighted volcano start buttons on ebay in sets of two (do a search on the completed 'atari start buttons' or 'volcano' <even though they're nintendo>)....

gotta love the blinky start buttons..:-)

Yeah I know....I got a whole box of them put away. I will put a whole bunch of parts on EBAY in August when I go on strike.(can you hear me now???)They will help pay the bills hopefully ::).

Actually the Playchoice/vs ones arn't lighted.  Theyre pretty much the same as a $2 Radioshack button with a "slight" slope surrounding it.. nothing like the "volcano" buttons, and I've definitely not seen any lighted on Nintendo ones.

In anycase, thanks TacoSmuggler for these two panels.. I actually prefer the plain unlighted buttons for most applications (just like the silver edged Midway cocktail buttons).

crap.
I have some the same size and shape as these on my 'bally/sente' upright, so I just thought the transparent red buttons were a standard (all lighted) design..oh well...learn something new every day..:-)

The reason he is not replying is probably because he has no power.
Check your weather channel NY had a bad ice storm. :-\

He did reply via PM.  I forgot to check the thing at the top of the page when I posted that.

I'm in Vermont, and we got the ice too.  It better get better by tomorrow, there's  huge computer show in Hartford, CT, and I need (well, want) to get a 19" for my cab.

Sorry for not logging on yesterday....as guessed above, I was without power from 3 pm yesterday untill Noon today. Funny thing was...the power didnt go out untill WELL AFTER the ice storm was over! 35,000 people w/o power and it was 30 degress last light!

Figures, I just got my Mame Machine totally complete the day before and I couldnt play it!

...but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!
(I love that commercial)
