someone MUST HAVE exchanged the pcb!!! really a shame, sorry to hear that, thorsten

Of course, and it must have been at TNT, COW or in Bremen. I cannot imagine the latter. The original seller shiopped the right thing, Todd's picture is the proof.

Stefan, I had never wasted any thought that you guys could have replaced the PCB :)

bremen is very unlikely. impossible on saturday at least. your cab was the first i found in all of those cabs and the first that got loaded in our truck.
and i did not see any people with screwdrivers there.. or people working on cabs. we were all busy with loading those beasts that day.

It happened at TNT or COW. I'm very sure. But have no prove at all. Only that everything (besides the losened bracket) was OK when it arrived at TNT.

No, not really  ;)

I hoped it was Todd and the picture with the missing bracket would make him admit the 'crime'. But he swore that he only opened the back door for taking the picture.

I already started to clean the PCBs. There's really a lot of dirt on it. Shit, if only I would have received the original one

That's a shame about the changed pcb :(

I opened up my Mario Bros widebody today.
It supposed to be "complete" as Lloyd stated, but it's missing the pcb  >:(

Other than that, it's clean as a whistle. Like NOS. Can't complain about that.

But instead of TWO Mario Bros pcb's I now have NONE. Awesome.
Still happy with the cabinets deal, but I will not have any parcels in future containers for sure.

Joeks, can you get my Bezel to Robin in Ridderkerk? Ik live in Spijkenisse so it's easy for me to pick it up.

I have pics too ID if it actually is the one I bought

Sad news for the PCB.

Changing a PCB is not "easy to do", it can't be a mistake  :evil: :evil: :evil:

I'm really sorry for you Luigi  :'( ... and Joeks too of course!
You should make this public on KLOV and stuff, maybe somebody will give up the culprit just to avoid being accused.
... or maybe I watch too many cop shows...

Damn, this is getting pretty nasty. Let's hope that some publicity will solve things. In the meanwhile I have played quite some rounds on Gyruss, and it plays great. And I did check if dr. Mario is complete, looking through the coin door, which seems to be the case. And from there I could reach the power cable. Unfortunately I couldn't start the game because the power plug looks like a leathal weapon, or something used on death row. Everywhere naked copper wiring, almost in contact with each other.

But this is just a minor issue, I hope that everything will work out OK for you guys in the end.

Sure Anunaki. By post or can someone pick it up maybe?
It's over an hour by car, so I'd rather not bring it.

Christ, not on the forum for a day and A LOT of drama going on. First off, sorry sorry sorry for the issues! Very sorry! It is a learning process for me here and this kind of stuff will not happen again. I actually wanted to do the next container with Cow and move to doing them myself afterwards. Now I will consider to do the next one myself already.

That said, lets sort out what we have here.

1 - I made a mistake giving Anunakis DK bezel to Barry. Very sorry for that.
2 - ChrisChris Q*Bert is not as expected, Missing monitor and Knocker.
3 - Someone switched the pcb set in Luigis Journey on the journey (believe me, it didnt happen in Europe, no way). I will inquire with COW.
4 - Cpt. Kirks Star Trek is missing parts. Will inquire with seller and COW.
5 - Barry is missing parts. They might be in some of the cabs left at the warehouse in Bremen. As I didnt ask for parts being stored in cabs ever, I didnt check them yet. Will check cabs and inquire with COW if necessary.

Did I forget something?
Looking for a container. Doesn't matter if full or empty. Doesn't matter if working or complete ... And all things Exidy!

argh.. kirk and luigi??? great... two cabs we brought home for them plus the damaged cab from bruno... i feel a bit strange now. candy in chrischris missile command seems to be missing, too. :(
this whole thing was based on a lot of trust... it still is. i don't think that something did happen to those cabs in bremen. i would trust thomas again any time.
