I think you should post them for sale on CL at $1500 and drop the price over time until you get a sucker to buy them.

Great thing about this game is it is Jamma and I can also put in Time Soldiers PCB, love that one also.

The Dynamo HS-1 jamma cabinets are great for these style games.

Strange how lack of space/time is a motivator over time.

I've been known to get rid of unpopular arcade cabinets for free just to free up space in the garage or storage unit, etc.

Just picked up an Ikari Warriors missing a SNK LS-30 rotary joystick, if you have an extra you want to sell, let me know, going towards a restore.

LOVE Hard Drivin (and Race Drivin), some cheap ones near me the past couple years, but I have no place to store it, won't fit through the basement doors and I cant give up the garage space, and it is extremely heavy.


Awesome game though.

Yes my other topic is more about the scenario the guy tells me it is about 700 pounds and has to be brought from the upstairs of his garage down without causing damage but he had a lift truck put it upstairs in his garage when they were building the garage..ugggg not sure about this!!!!

Sounds like he is transferring the liability to the $100 mover, .  Be careful if you decide to get it.

Or tell him you'll pay him $200 for it if he can get it moved to the main floor.

I only notice the improved quality with 60fps (1080p) when watching using a Google Chrome browser, not sure how many set top boxes support 60fps yet.
39  Tech and Marketplace / I need help with my game! - Technical Discussion / Re: Molex connector kit on: August 12, 2015, 06:43:12 pm
I usually bulk order a bunch of Molex and Amp connectors (and pins) from the Real Bob Roberts when I need to order other things.
http://www.therealbobroberts.net/conectas.html

Another supplier of these would be cool though.

Maybe a kit with more common sizes, as it was a pain for me to think of all possible numbers of connector types and matching pins, I just wanted to order a bunch that I might need in the future.  I think I ordered connectors with 2, 6, 9, 12, 15 pins (male and female).  I had some conversion cabs that I wanted to use the existing wiring, but use an adapter or new harness but use the existing connectors in the cab and needed to match them up.

Do you have to wait awhile for the electrolytic caps to dry out?  I tend to just use the air compressor on my monitors as I'm paranoid about liquids and electronics.
42  Arcade and Pinball Discussions / Beginner's Help Corner / Re: Cap Kit on: July 16, 2015, 11:06:53 pm
quoting from http://arcade.50megs.com/capkit/capkit.htm

"An arcade monitors control board will typically contain a dozen or so electrolytic capacitors.  Over time the electrolytic dries up, leaks out, etc. and the capacitor will eventually stop working.  Even before the capacitor stops working it will change its tolerance levels due to deterioration.

Bad capacitors cause many visible problems in a monitor.  The monitor might suffer from ghosts, warping, dimness, blacking out, smearing, jail bars, shrinking, missing scan lines, etc.  Eventually a bad capacitor will cause other components to fail also."

Cruise Ship stopped in Nassau Bahamas (I have a small budget, ).  If budget isn't an issue, Atlantis is the way to go ( http://www.atlantisbahamas.com/ )

If you do visit Nassau though, go to this place, amazing blue water, if you have a family, the dolphin encounter is awesome.

One of the most beautiful places I have visited (and I've been to Cozumel, Jamaica, Key West, Florida, etc).

I saw your video in Puerto Rico, I want to go there in the future as well.
