    I think a cab like that should be kept original, its Virtua Racing man! Thats a grail cab for me, & one I'll likely never own :(

    Ever think of just making the downstairs part of your house open plan? No more doorframes ;)

    Not retro game related but I know there are some Transformers fans here so I want to post the below link to comixology's $1 Tranformers comicbook sale that they are running this weekend:
    http://www.comixology.com/Megatron-Sale/comics-collection/697

    I haven't read any of them myself but I have heard good things said about the series "All Hail Megatron."

    You've just reminded me of a photo I took of a tour bus in Greece over the summer.

    Transformers was the only comic i religiously read as a kid, had nearly all of them. Threw them away years ago, I would love to get my hands on them again. Loved everything transformers, only watched the cartoon movie last week with one of my kids, he loves it.

    The old adage 'it's worth what people are willing to pay' comes to mind. I doubt the seller will have difficulty shifting it.

    There is a Namco Arcade Stick for the PS on ebay, an hour and a half left on it and it's only at 22.33 so far, probably will go higher though, time to put Parcel Motel into action!

    Nice! Very tempted by that. Looks like it needs a cap kit, but nothing our resident techs couldn't do :D

    They all seem to need a cap kit, it really helps the audio and video quality.
    And of course you can mod that screen with the exact same one as the Nomad mod.

    Speaking of which, did yours ever arrive? Or can it be classed as KIA

    On the subject of insulting the average-man's intelligence, can anyone see anything on the VGA website that goes even halfway to explaining how exactly they can deem themselves the Video Game Authority?

    Their 'about us' section is a pile of pish, and I cannot ****ing believe they not only get away with this drizzle, but it's being embraced in certain circles.

    Well anyone can set themselves up as an expert, especially online, and that's that.
    The soft brained amongst us will just take it as gospel and off they go, being wrong and no one challenging them.

    It's a bit like that with Retr0...... ;)

    Exactly. Self appointed money spinners, a great idea it is, but the bolloz that goes on around VGA Graded stuff does my head in

    I just know it'd arrive, I'd pop it into the machine and then the first time it makes "some cool effects and sounds", I'd be done with it :p

    Hi folks

    Tim from Rewind Bits & Rewind Gaming has kindly offered me a 10% discount code to offer to fellow Boards.ie users.

    I've recently used Rewind Bits to buy two Sega Game Gear capacitor kits, and found the products had a great attention to detail. All the capacitors were laid out & labelled, and even came with a colour installation manual & excerpts from their forum that had user input. I was quite impressed to say the least, so hopefully we can avail of this discount, I know I will!

    The code will have unlimited use per customer, and the usual exceptions apply (It won't apply to postage, & can't be used with any other promotion or sales price). There seems to be a nice little supply of hard to get bits, & repair kits. Rewind Gaming also has games/consoles aimed at Retro collectors, & the prices seem quite competetive.

    Anyhow, please PM me for the code, as we've chosen to keep it out of the public domain to be fair to Tim. And please do not post the code elsewhere or share it with those who arn't registered here...or you'll have me to answer to :D

    Thanks to Ciderman for giving the thread the green light. Feel free to contact Tim at any of the above sites too.

    Just found out that Tim of Rewind Bits, will extend our discount into his ebay sales. Rewind Gaming is gone, & won't be coming back, but he sells the gaming stuff on ebay which we can now avail of a 10% discount of.

    Just contact him directly, mention the discount code, & let him know what you wanna buy. He'll discount 10% off the ebay price, & let you pay direct via paypal. Looks like he does mostly free shipping to the UK do so it could be a nice use for parcel motel for those who have access to it.

    His items are here
