WTB: Pole Position 1 fully working boardset
« on: July 05, 2015, 10:22:00 AM »
Hi there,

I'm looking for Pole Position 1 fully working boardset. Payment by PayPal - I cover the fees by gift-option.

Shipping to the Czech Republic (EU).

Thanks,

Jan

Hi.

If you can't find one, there is a german guy repairing them. AFAIR he wants 150€ PLUS a non working board. Not a bargain IMHO but those PCBs keep dying and vanishing from the planet's surface  :-\

Let me know and I will try to contact him. He's on a german forum I no longer visit so I'm not sure I will get him.....maybe via someone else from that forum :)

I've bought a board from that guy in the past. He usually does exchanges only (your defect PCB plus EUR 150.-, so it's not just the cash he wants). The first boardset I received from him in that deal was dead on arrival, and it took some discussions and another 6(!) months to make him send me a working one instead (he kept claiming that it was my fault, as I was still using the original AR2s, and not a switching ps, even though my ARs were rebuilt and delivering perfect voltages, and there was no sign that the problems where power-related in any way).

On the other side, the boards I received in the end are working to this day (with the very same AR2s that he spotted as the root of all evil beforehand ;)).

So, IF you go that route, just make sure you agree on every aspect beforehand.

Cheers,
Martin

I never did make business with him but from what I heard (until now) he seems to be reliable. Might be worth to consider all other options before going this way ;)

This was in no way going against your suggestion - and as said, all went well in the end.

It just wasn't the smoothest deal I've ever had ;)

Thank you for your ideas end experience you did with the german guy. My boardset has been repaired manytimes so now I preffer to buy a completely working boardset because I believe that mine is doomed.

Nobody? Our cabinet is offline for a month and we don't have any tracks for a new boardset. Please help us!

Email Mark at Retroclinic.com

he will repair your board or can sell you one if he has one in stock.

he is VERY FAST at repairing and getting it back to you.

I sent him 4 starwars sets, 3 tempest sets and about 4 space duels once, he had them ALL repaired and back to me in 1 week!!!! he is crazy FAST!!

Thanks a lot. I know Mark. My pcb is doomed - I don't want to waste any money with this again. Need just another board. So this is the reason why I'm looking for some in good condition. He has also repaired Battle Zone for me.
