Title: Steering wheel panel for trade.
Post by: paigeoliver on May 28, 2003, 06:43:51 am: I recently got a Turbo control panel in a trade. I'll be darned if my Turbo didn't sell a few days later. So now I have no use for the thing.

It has a great 360 wheel on it, a shifter assembly (minus knob), and a few gauges. If you wanted to use it "as is" and have it look good you would need to replace a missing button, add a gauge and put a knob on the shifter. But I imagine you would just want the wheel for your own panel anyway.

Will trade that panel, along with an untested Turbo LED scoreboard, and an optical 3 position gas pedal.

Possible trade items.

Oscar spinner.

I-Pac or Keywhiz.

Any Kangaroo or Crystal Castles parts.

Any "Konami Classic" boardsets besides Time Pilot, Time Pilot '84 and Super Basketball.

Working 13" arcade monitor (would like to have a spare for my time pilot).

Good working 300+ mhz computer (I don't need any drives, modems, or network cards in it, but it would have to have audio and video).

May consider other items as well.

Hey bud I have a HP p2-333 machine I'd trade you for the Turbo CP if you're interested. It's a complete working system: memory, hdd, video, sound, CDROM, floppy, etc.

For reference, it looks like the one in this auction (not my auction though) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2728581370&category=3745 except I spray painted the faceplate of mine black because I had it in a stereo cabinet to provide internet to the TV.

I also have a few other computer items, mostly a little newer than that, that I'd trade for any useful arcade stuff. LMK Thanks!

I will do that. Lets work out the details in the thread. I prefer to work publically when it comes to any deal worth more than $10.

We can cross ship (that means we both send at the same time). When can you ship?

Darn, it does. But I prefer to do trades IN PUBLIC, because it helps to establish prices, values, and it keeps everyone honest.

Post by: planetjay on May 31, 2003, 02:30:19 am: That is a violation of UPS policy. ::)

They may send someone after you. Look out for guys in brown trucks coming down your street!

USPS (US Postal Service!) there is a difference... It may be against thier policy too, but I agree with Paigeoliver's methods.

Post by: paigeoliver on June 03, 2003, 04:05:30 pm: Ok. I received my computer today (posting this message from it).

It was packed extremely well.

It had more RAM than promised (128 instead of 64).

Peab0dy was nice enough to include a power cord.

I haven't actually opened up the computer yet, but it appears to have all the good stuff on actual cards, with nothing onboard (that is a plus).

The drive had been erased which is both a good thing and a bad thing. Good because it forces me to do a fresh system install, and bad for the same reason. ;)

I installed Windows 98 SE and EVERYTHING worked right the first time. I didn't have to configure anything (very rarely does that ever happen).

Overall I got more than I asked for, more than I was promised, and more than I expected. Thanks Peab0dy!

Post by: shmokes on June 03, 2003, 05:14:49 pm: I've been following this thread with baited breath. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Did paigeoliver really send the wheel? Will Peab0dy be left on the vine? Tune in next time to BYOAC for the exciting conclusion...!

Post by: Erik on June 03, 2003, 06:11:02 pm: Got the package today and everything looks great. thanks!
Title: Re:Steering wheel panel for trade.
Post by: paigeoliver on June 03, 2003, 07:08:26 pm: Awesome. I just finished getting the computer set up for my cabinet.

Swapped the S3 Virge video card for a voodoo3 that I had collecting dust.

Installed Directx 8.0 Mame (I686) .60 and advancemenu.

Forgot to install snaps. :-[

Now generating snaps manually >:( (not that tough, I only have like 125 games installed).

Post by: Erik on June 03, 2003, 08:16:49 pm: Pardon the ignorance but what's snaps?
Title: Re:Steering wheel panel for trade.
Post by: paigeoliver on June 03, 2003, 08:37:17 pm: snapshots. Screenshots. The game pictures that go in your mame snap directory.
