Yep, that's the most common micro-switch version. Definitely a great stick too and most people prefer that one but usually because they never encountered the leaf version.

Love that TV  ;D

Does anybody want a tested working Commodore 1541 floppy disk drive ? We've got one on our yearly flea market and nobody seems interested in any of the Commodore stuff. We also have a defective C64 with all big chips on socket and a defective Amiga 500 which looks really nice, absolutely no discoloring on that one, maybe nice for a transplant. Has a memory expansion card with RAMS on sockets but they are too large size for classic arcade games (maybe some late 80s boards will like them ?)

Also found one of those portable radios with a tiny 4" B/W CRT TV inside. Awesome for making a small pong model ;);) but I'm not going to do it. Regretfully it doesn't have a video input on the outside, but that can always be hacked in :)

Let me know if anyone wants any of this for a very low price, money goes to the marching band I am member of.

I'm a happy guy today, something was telling me to go to the boot sale, and I find my holy grail.

£5 for the PC (no power or leads or tape deck)  and 1 game which is Konami Nemesis

No idea if it works, but if it doesn't, I'll fix it.

Ask your customers what they want and then give it to them. 

I did that, and they had some good ideas, and they're actually looking pretty hard for some stuff.

Now it's about providing it to them.

But what if I don't have what customer's want Michael? What is the secret to your success - is it spamming arcade forums?

I've just won a B&O 25" tv that's destined for my Death race.  £1.04 on ebay, but *it suddenly stopped working*, so hopefully it's just a fuse!

I hope it comes with the remote, bitch to set up without one, if not impossible, if its a BEO4 it's worth more than the TV, but good find.

If for some reason you are stuck, and need to tune it, or open up the scart sockets, (yes sometimes they are turned off), give me a PM and I'll loan you my BEO4 remote.
