That's always the way, isn't it?
I have a lot of stuff to get rid of. If I can't find someone to trade with I'll just be putting it all up on adverts.
Although I think putting a modded xbox on adverts is against the rules.0 -

Always the way indeed:rolleyes:
At one stage I had over 200 jamma boards
Any need for pinball parts or williams defender boards?:p
I'm interested in something to run mame through an old TV.
If you were selling - any idea of price guide? No interest in 2600's?:pac:0 -

I was holding onto the 2600 to try trade p/x for another A500/1200 but I have since discovered an ATX PSU will work for my old A500 with a small bit of modding - so dont need one (as long as the psu didnt fry the puter as well).
If that's all good and working I'd really be up for a trade alright. I have a Vader 2600 which I love, but I need a woodgrain one too. Always wanted a six switch but never got around to buying one

I used it to photograph and test for selling on ebay mostly. Most of them ended up in the UK or were given away. At one stage I had 6 or 7 different Street Fighter 2's (orig and clones). Most of the jamma stuff that's out there at the moment are clone boards from what I can tell.
Ah cool! You should throw a few of them up for the craic. I always love to see photos of bits and bobs people have had.defenderdude wrote: »Space was the problem - I was never really after Jamma stuff - all I ever wanted was the Williams boards and full sizes, but usually ended up getting a boot load of board "rescues" which were going to end up in skips. It always baffled the crap out of me how so much stuff was simply dumped, scrapped, burned etc. However, after about 20 upright's, 20 pinballs, 4 or 5 tabletops, well over 250 boards later - I soon realised why the stuff ended up in skips. (space is the place).
So you inadvertantly ended up with 200 JAMMA boards? Wow. That's pretty amazing. I guess you got in there at the right time.defenderdude wrote: »
The old arcade stuff is awesome - but the real old stuff (pre jamma)it's just so hard and costly (in terms of time and $$) to keep going. Between dampness, rot and rust - time just doesnt look kindly on arcade stuff and unless the cabs are really MINT - they are not really worth the space they take up (to me personally).
I still love the williams stuff and have a number of boardsets, a cab and cp's -but they're not everyones cuppa tea. I'd love to buy Mitches defender table
but it would be living it's life in a garage as opposed to a place it deserves (wife and kids change priorities/needs very quickly):):)
Enough of my ranting,:o I'll get some pics for ya and see if you're interested in anything.
It really is a heart breaking hobby at times. The amount of destroyed and scrapped stuff you just cant save because you don't have the room Or then when you come across a great cab in the wild being abused/had a hard live. Poor buggers. If I could, I'd have a big house down the country with a warehouse dedicated to old machines..for them to live out their retirement.
Anyway, yeah, 2600! if it works, you have a deal!0 -

ok, got a nice 2600, 6 switch. It's actually very clean and works a-ok (but havent had a chance to re-test this evening yet). The orange paint around the frame is nice and intact and the atari logo is beautiful. Got two joys with it and a psu (not original). Could do with a better psu tbh. Havent really got many games to go with it - how about defender (of course), space invaders and Mario Brothers.
Also I'll give you another 6 switch woody as spares. It's a bit damaged on the case and it's non-working but is possibly a reasonably easy fix or is good for spares anyway. There's 2 more atari joys with it.
I'll test the good one and take a few pics to make sure it's still ok but will probably be tomorrow evening before I can get around to it.
I'm currently uploading some old pics to photobucket - have a look if youre interested.
