Advertised as "intermittent sound issue" at $300.00.

I offered $200.00 and she bit.  Got it home last night.  It seems the intermittent sound issue was a rheostat that was falling apart and had been "RUBBER BANDED" together?!

I'd put the condition of the unit at easily 8/10...

Now I just need more room!

O pretty.  :cheers:

So when are you going to mame it?  It would look sweet with a 5 player cp layout.

All of these good finds from the guy who once claimed that there are no arcade cabs in Idaho ...

Congrats -- I'm jealous of your growing vector collection.

Bite your tongue!   That said,  a B&W Vectormame setup in this cab would be pretty spiffy with the blacklight background, etc.  But,  uh...nope.

Hey...I was a newb!   It proves the point that if you seek...you WILL find.

...now where is that damn Tempest upright I've been seeking?!

Nice!!!  I missed a free Asteroids here in the Seattle area by 15 minutes...   :'(

Hopefully someone on the board got it.

I saw the ad for that Asteroids after it had been up for a couple hours, so I didn't even try.

I hear there is a considerable slow down on Asteroids Deluxe when there are lots of Asteroids all over the screen....

I'm sorry Frizz, I tried, but I couldn't resist.

Acevedor2: this was a little joke....


If I had an idea how to help you with that SW issue, I would. The only thing for you would be to find a fellow SW owner in your "neighborhood"  and try the game there....

It slows down because it's drawing so many sprites on teh screen at once.  :D
