Looks in much better than average shape, from the pics. Your opinion may vary. Was posted yesterday, I didn't call on it, just passing it along. $150 obo OMEGA RACE ARCADE Lehi, UT 84043 - Jun 10, 2007 This is a 1981 arcade game. Game is in good condition and everything works. However the sound goes on and off. The wire has a short and needs to be traced and fixed. * * Seller Contact Info Contact Name: Joshua Home Phone: 801-766-9155 -- Sean McLachlan MIS Manager, Quality Manager LithoFlexo grafics 801.484.8503 sean(a)lithoflexo.com

Ms. Pac-Man?
by Jeff Rivera 11 Jun '07

11 Jun '07

I've been trying for ages to track down a Ms. Pac-Man cabinet. Right now I'll either take one in working order, or a project cabinet. Does anybody know of one for sale? I'm getting a bit frustrated, so any help would be great. -- ---Jeff Rivera--- jeff(a)i4.net jar155(a)gmail.com jar155(a)yahoo.com

Need help unloading at warehouse
by Pete Ashdown 09 May '07

09 May '07

If anyone has some time and muscle to spare, I need help unloading a friend's SGI gear at the warehouse tonight at 7pm. The warehouse is at about 350 W 600 S. I think there is a "Glass Doctor" sign on the front and "Avant Garden" is on the east side of the building.

A little dilemma, could use some feedback...
by Jeff Rivera 27 Apr '07

27 Apr '07

A few weeks back I picked up a Bubble Bobble machine locally for $200 that has a nice, working monitor and is in great shape. The game is in a Rally-X cabinet, that is also in good shape, except for that it had been painted completely black. I've stripped the black paint in anticipation of restoring it to Rally-X. However, I'm starting to second guess myself. Here are the options I have: A) Continue restoring it to a Rally-X (even though the wiring has been hacked for a 2p Bubble Bobble setup) B) Make it the best darn Bubble Bobble possible (fun paint and art) I'm working with some limited game room space right now, so I'm not sure I'd even hang on to the Rally-X cab after the full restoration. I'd just be trying to make my money back and preserve a bit of history. Do you guys think I'd make more money with a nice Bubble Bobble cabinet as opposed to a Rally-X? It would save me the time/money/effort of hunting down Rally-X art, overlays, and a marquee. Isn't Bubble Bobble going to fetch more at auction or in local ads anyway? The Bubble Bobble PCB is genuine too. I know there are a lot of bootlegs, but it's 100% legit. -- ---Jeff Rivera--- jeff(a)i4.net jar155(a)gmail.com jar155(a)yahoo.com

A good use of post-it notes as pixels: http://www.soe.ucsc.edu/~inio/dk/?fb If someone had some big glass areas they could do vector games with rolls of colored masking tape. Tempest would be interesting. Kurt -- /** * Kurt Mahan kmahan(a)xmission.com */

Crispy board pics
by Kurt Mahan 10 Apr '07

10 Apr '07

I'm looking for a couple of pics on the web of a properly toasted pin solenoid or lamp driver board. I want to show a friend the joys of pushing current through small traces/scrs. We've all seen the really good ones where there is no board left, just heavy gauge wire holding the parts in place. Luckily I'm not in posession of any right now. Thanks, Kurt -- /** * Kurt Mahan kmahan(a)xmission.com */

Rally-X Machine
by Jeff Rivera 06 Apr '07

06 Apr '07

I picked up a new cabinet last night and I thought I was getting a Pac-Man machine that had been painted black and converted. When I got home, however, I found out that it was actually a Rally-X machine. Now, I've been really looking hard for a Ms. Pac-Man or Pac-Man cabinet to restore, and I thought I had lucked out. I know that Rally-X is harder to find, and it's a bit of a gem, but I was looking for something else. I'm still going to restore this to its former glory, but I don't think I want to hang on to it after that. I figure that if I restore it that the next owner will maintain it in its dedicated shape. Anyway, I'll be working on this for a while, but is anybody out there interested in a dedicated Rally-X machine? When I finish restoring it, I only plan on selling it to break even on the project. I'd like the cabinet to go to someone who won't convert it again or *shudder* MAME it. -- ---Jeff Rivera--- jeff(a)i4.net jar155(a)gmail.com jar155(a)yahoo.com

Hey Pete, is Pinball OK for the UtVGG list?
by Sean McLachlan 01 Apr '07

01 Apr '07

I replied to a post in rec.games.pinball from a local pin collector, and several other SLC guys chimed in that they want to meet up with local collectors too. I don't know if they own vids or not. Do you want to keep the list Video centric, or is opening it up a good thing? -- Sean McLachlan MIS Manager, Quality Manager LithoFlexo grafics 801.484.8503 sean(a)lithoflexo.com

Robotron 2084
by Jeff Rivera 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

I'm being offered an original Robotron 2084 for $800. The guy has owned it since 1983, and he says it's in perfect shape. I'm waiting on some pics to be emailed over later tonight so I can see more. He's selling it because he's going through a divorce and can't hang on to it. Does this seem like a fair deal? Feel free to let me know if any of you guys are interested. If I decide to pass on the offer, I can relay the info. (It's out of state and you'd have to pay some shipping). -- ---Jeff Rivera--- jeff(a)i4.net jar155(a)gmail.com jar155(a)yahoo.com
