Cool I have a programmer here, now to dig it out and rotate the egret, its been a few years since she's been horizontal. (sounds dirty) Wheres the best place to pick up a few 27c1024 I assume there obsolete.

Loads of them on Ebay or you can go to Mouser if you're worried about Ebay fakes.

Rather annoyingly I sold an MVS mobo with a socketed bios when I picked up an AES.

Replaced it with an MVS1B a few years ago which is, of course, not socketed!

Might pick up another socketed mobo for this unibios, that pick'n'mix option really is a great idea.

NeoBiosMasta will let you install a socketed bios on the MV-1B & MV-1C boards.

There was a lad over on AO selling two starters for a tenner, apparently they're really good and work in all candy cabs. Decided to give them a go.

Worked first time! I now have the lightbox for my SNK cab going again.

Next step, to try to get some artwork with a proper reflective back.

This is the arcade scene, where you can sell a cardboard box with 'Cave' written on it for €150 :pac:

How much were those ashtrays on AO again?

o1s1n

They weren't quite as bad as that, I think they were €15 each? Still mad for an Ashtray, but you know, stolen from Taito Station in Japan so you're paying for the theft too

It's just one storage unit (of which there are a few) belonging to the owner of Arcade Club!

Was on the lookout for some backlit arcade art for my marquees and came across this website, anyone ordered from them?

https://www.arcadeartshop.com/

Seem to have a good selection at pretty decent prices.

Guy has a thread over on UKVac with details about the store (says he does custom stuff too)

http://www.ukvac.com/forum/arcade-art-shop-repro-artwork-nos-parts-store_topic355038_page1.html

Ordered from Ollie many times without any issues.. My two Dino's came from him also. Very good quality and easy to deal with.. His recently started reverse printing on pplexi too which looks great. I have a bezel and an marquee on route for the outrun cabaret at the moment, they look superb

BGOllie

+1 on Olly's repros my pacman stuff and double dragon one came from it

...great name too !!

+2 For Olly, he is fantastic.
Got Astro artwork and custom Centipede artwork.
Great quality and really helpful.

Really?
Wasn't it meant to close before?

Yeah it closed down before for a bit but then opened back up again.

What's the point of closing down a forum? surely if someone doesn't want to run it anymore, then hand it over to someone else?

Edit - I see he's actually tried apparently but nobody is willing to take it on
