Or: The official translation table for arcade collector's partners....
1) "I SWEAR this is the last one I'll buy darling !"
= You know that if I find something REALLY special, I'll buy it anyway
2) [insert game name] is my holy grail. Once I got that Im finished.
= once I get that grail, there will always be a next one
3) I'll only buy another game once I've got them all running and restored.
= see translation 1)
4) Glad that I finished this machine, now I'll never have to work on it again...
= ...just those two screws I still need to change to black, just that monitor I have to adjust a bit, not to mention any repairs....
5) I don't have space for another machine, no really....
= you guessed it, see translation 1)

Haha, I feel guilty. :D

Hehe, guilty!
How about extending the tread to include Ebay sellers.....
1) Untested:
= Not working!
2) Was pulled from a working cab a while ago:
= Partially working, not working.
3) Cab suddently stopped working 2 weeks ago, proberly just a fuse:
= Cab hasent worked in 5 years
.. to be continued ..

LOL but I bought an untested MB PCB set that was pulled from the game when it got converted and was then shelved and it worked 100% :)
I've bought an untested Asteroids board for 25 Euro and worked fine.
I've bought an untested SW PCB set for like 17 Euro and worked fine :)
I think I've had more "luck" like this on other stuff....
So it' snot always true :)
-
Youre right, I too have bought "untested" pcb, which turned out workers.... But as you say, sometimes youre lucky! And a SWPCB for 17€ - that is a steal!!!! (So is the asteroids!) :spaceace:

The SW PCB set was a combo of a kind hint from Bruno, and location I guess.....no-one bid except me :) Long time ago already though....

This 5 points list is so true!
I recognize myself in every points especially "I'll only buy another game once I've got them all running and restored." :oops: :oops: :oops:

lol, indeed very true. But does this mean you're getting another game?

So I can ditch your holy grail? LOL
No, it now is also one of my grails. I made an Atari corner in my gameroom with 5 Atari´s, 4 of them are vector games! Superb.
But your list is so true, although, I am the exception. After finding my final holy grail earlier this week, it is over and closed ...... I think. :-\
