Wow, so this means when you can burn every vs game availible and put it on a mainboard?




No, those are CPUs not PPUs.

Nice find!

I ordered about 30 CPUs from Mike's Arcade when they were $5.00 a piece. You can blame me for the price increase. :) SORRY!!!

BTW ----- Adam bought some of those China RP2A03's and the sound was messed up when used in a Punch-Out. So, they might work fine as CPUs for VS. boards but not as sound CPUs in other Nintendo boards.

I saw all execpt fall guy, never heard of that

I remember having the action figure for the six million dollar man



You could look through the back of the head through the bionic eye, that was so cool BITD  ;D

Fall Guy was a favorite show of mine!!! I really liked it as a kid. He had a bad ass truck. Stuntmen were cool in the 80s.

Never heard of this guy that died, though.

Dude, you are a mad man!!!  :o :o :o :o :o Wet sand that shit, I see orange peel. :)

That's a really interesting way to do that new edge. Huh. i have this same issue on my Quantum. VERY INTERESTING.

35

now that i've got my replacement sanding tool, i can continue with the restoration process. part of my "mantra" is to keep as many original parts as possible - if they are restorable, even if it is only a piece of wood on the back of the cab like this one :arrow:



as you can see, the battle scars are deep!





but let's see if we can save it anyway - with a lot of bondo





sanded ...





... and repainted! i know that there are still a few dips here and there, but i didn't want to be too anal about it. believe me, even i know when enough is enough and when it's time to stop :P





i would say the damage meter on this particular piece of the cabinet is down to zero - another part of arcade history saved :)

This is too much information for a simple piece of wood on the back of the cabinet. ;) :D

Is that the leather texture stuff like Dragon's Lair?

That is the best line up john I've ever seen
Hopefully when I get my battle shark up and running I will have something a bit special too
Here is my line up for now




Chuckie, your collection is top notch! I really like the cocktail row and that Sheriff can't be beat! :) I'd say you got some rare stuff there. SWEET!!

When I first started collecting I had Nintendo fever. It's all I wanted! :)






38
That's one hell of a project!  :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

I think I still have an exra Control Panel and marquee. I was planning on building another someday.

Good luck with it! I regret getting rid of mine. :)

john sent you another pm with a cheaper disk for pioneer player

seller claims no rot and shows pics of the disc running

her is the link again

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311117633243?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I was talking to the seller and he was willing to ship it to me then someone did a BUY IT NOW. I couldnt bid as i am in the usa. Was it one of yous???? :)

I only just noticed it ended, and came straight here to see if it was you that brought it, although looking at the listing it wasn't a buy it now, the seller pulled the listing

message him again just in case he pulled it so you can buy it off him


It does say that, doesn't it? Odd. He told me that it was sold and someone bought it for his "buy it now" price. I wonder if it was sold outside eBay?
