My hotlist right now is a Pioneer PR-8210 or PR-8210A. I've got a Star Rider on the way and a working PR-8210A is all I need!

Games for sale or trade
by PEAS 29 Jun '02

Hi, First off let me say thanks to Bert for telling me about the group, and to Pete for clueing me in on how to sign up. I currently have 3 games (pics available) I would like to sell/trade: 1. Galaxian cocktail (B-M) - The wooden cabinet is in decent shape and the CPO's aren't the worst I've seen either. The glass is fairly scratched up, and the monitor probably needs a caps job (but plays 100%). Underlay is starting to crack. Power cord comes out coinbox door. Asking $300. If I had more technical expertise I'd keep this one and change it over to a Pac or Galaga myself. If nobody is interested, maybe you have a Pacman or Galaga PCB you want to sell and I'll try to convert it. 2. Space Fever cocktail (Nintendo) - Caps job was just done (so I was told when I got it). This is the silver leg style cocktail. Great picture, CP's have that "rubbed off" look around the buttons and joysticks, but you can still tell what is what. A little damage at the hinge, but otherwise solid. Plays 100%. Asking $250. If you needed a monitor for a Nintendo DK cocktail (or any of the other stuff) this would be a good buy. If nobody wants it, but has a DK/DKJr. board to sell, maybe I can buy it and convert this one? 3. Pairs upright (Strata) - In solid Burgertime cab #653, this game plays 100%. Sides are painted black, but BT kickplate art is still there. The screen is sideways and has Burgertime burn-in which isn't noticeable during play to my eyes. Back door present, but held in by a wedged in screw at the moment. No locks at all. Asking $140. ***If you buy the 2 cocktails at asking price, I'll throw the upright in for no extra charge. I will sell separately, but would prefer trading all 3 (with some cash flowing one way or the other if necessary, depending on conditions and delivery arrangements) for one of the following games: 1. Double Donkey Kong (at least Jr.) 2. Q*Bert 3. Robotron 4. Stargate 5. Tron 6. Millipede (looking to add the multi-kit to it) 7. Tempest 8. Quantam ***I'm open to trade offers on these games or possibly Pengo, Gyruss, Jungle King, or something else you want to get rid of (mothers-in-law not included)!! If this is posted inappropriately, please accept my apology. Thanks for reading, Scott Pearson _____________________________________ Think you can't get high-speed Internet? Now you can!

Lots of Japanese imports >ended up testing there, some made it to market, some just disappeared. I >have flyers for Devastator, but not Predators, Inferno or Nightmares :( Wow Jeff, looks like you stumped KLOV on Predators and Nightmares as well. I wonder if its worth a few calls out to whoever ran that arcade.

Looking for parts to complete some projects?
by Bert Ankrom 24 Jun '02

Hi all, I thought it would be a good thing for everyone to post a few of the parts they are looking for to see if we can finish up some of the "project" games we probably all have sitting around. So post what you need and maybe someone may have something that is just taking up space. Also this will make others aware of what you're looking for and maybe they'll run across what you need. Anyway here my list.... What's on yours? 1. D Kong wiring harness and/or screen bezel 2. Lunar Lander PCB (working or not) (I have one that's missing a few EPROM's) 3. Defender Monitor bezel. 4. Asteroids PCB, Control Panel 5. (A long shot) an empty Lunar Lander cabinet... mine has some water damage. It looks acceptable but it's a little annoying.

>I have never actually played EDOT *hangs head in shame*, but that cab is one >of the coolest. Oh man, you'll never FORGET EDOT once you play it. A fully working cab is a true experience. I'll keep the list appraised of the restoration progress.
