Title: Trophy Hunting, Bear and Moose - missing PCB
Post by: Cordless on May 30, 2007, 08:28:13 am

Hi,

I bought a Trophy Hunting Arcade game at an auction.  I tested the game and it played fine.   I had a note book with me and for this game I wrote "everything works great".

When I picked it up and brought it home it wouldn't start up.  I went through the manual and checked if everything was plugged in.  The guns weren't connected to anything, and that's when I noticed the pcb was missing.

I searched online and I found this site.  I read a post about how people steal from the machines before and after the auction.  It would have been good if I found this site earlier. 

Since the game worked when I tested it, and I got it for way under the eBay prices I figured the PCB was taken after I tested it, but before it went up on the block.

I've searched this site, and the internet for how to get a replacement but there isn't any answers.  I called Sega, and they told me the no longer carried Trophy Hunter parts.

The game was a conversion kit, I'm assuming it was originally an NFL Blitz game because it came with an NFL Blitz manual.

I'm not even sure if this is the only thing wrong with it, I'm afraid this is going end up being a money pit.

Does anyone know how I can get a pcb for this?

Your best bet would be to go through the manual and find out what the board is called and the part number, and do some searching on those terms, as well as checking over at happs (http://www.happ.com). They have some universal gun boards that MAY work, but without the manual I couldn't tell you for sure..

Good luck!

The guns connect to the Main PCB so I guess it is missing.   You might find one on ebay but since it is a fairly new game they all seem to be sold as running cabs not as parts.

I love the way Sega's secretaries answer the phones. I laughed at her the first time I ever called them.

ANYWAY, I'm surprised Sega doesn't have parts for these games anymore. You can try a larger distributer, Betson and Weiner both have TONS of random parts laying around. I would try calling them

I'd be taking a trip back to the auction house and kickin' someones ass.

Too often do people get away with this sort of thing without any reprocussions.
