Konami Circus Charlie Repair Log (1 original & 1 bootleg)
« on: December 16, 2013, 08:44:25 AM »
Finally pulled myself together, and did a write-up of some of the repairs I've been doing for the past 6 months.
Hopefully more to come during the upcoming holydays };-P

A quick revisit with Circus Charlie, as it had developed a sprite error on it's way to it's rightful owner.

I know I had neither seen it nor heard of it before I was asked to fix it for darkvonwaterfall.
But I assume (haven't asked him) that he might have played it back in the days and want it for nostalgic reasons.
I think he's originally from Germany, so maby it was a big thing there?!

I found one in a lot of 40 pcbs a few months back, just sold it.
Never heard of it before, was not too famous in Europe.

I know Circus Charlie from the MSX

That makes sense being a Konami title

I don't remember playing it BITD but I have 1 or 2 Circus Charlie PCBs here and they come from retired Belgian operators.
