    AWSDs are basically rebranded E3s. New artwork and control panel with a card reader.

    Actually must do an inventory check on all the extras I got for it over the years like those FrancoB mods etc.

    It's mad how many bits you accumulate to go with cabs isnt it? I've everything from FrancoB headphone jack/volt meter mods to Thelastbandit's coin up mods and god knows what else.

    Two years later and it's all still rotting away in a lockup :pac:

    Damn..... NNNNooooo!!!!
    I don't need more CRT's in my house!


    On a brighter note, got a doo-dad that should let me finally hear whats being played on my speakerless RGB monitor.

    It'll make sailing that gaming Fail-boat a little more pleasant.

    Chinese clone of the nes mini

    The reviews/youtube videos I've seen state it's what you'd expect for the price, but for $26 it's a cheap introduction to retro, something quirky or just a raspberry pie case for a side project

    I've an old Dell crt computer screen in the shed if it's any good to you. Think it might be vga, though it could be a 17"

    If its 19" I will take it but they seem to be a rare beast believe it or not.
    There is a few 19" flat crts around but they wont fit the machine (megatouch XL)

    Thats been for sale a good while.
    Always fancied one but I would hold out for the 2 player one.
    is a very old version and its ugly as hell!

    The HD one is a great game,guns are very accurate

    Change the control panel and you can make that cab into almost anything, but the game is medium resolution, so the monitor might be medium res only, or it might be low/medium res.

    Checked there, it's 17" unfortunately (Dell E771p). Likely no good to you, but you can take it away if you like :)

    Is anyone looking for a XRGB Framemeister? I've aquired a second but no longer need it for the project it was bought for.

    They are hard to get these days direct and ebay is stupid money from profiteers.
    Anyway, I'm not looking to profit from it, so no rip off prices from me.

    I'd rather it go to someone here that ebay or adverts.

    Yeah. I'd definitely be interested. Been waiting for Solaris to get them back in stock.

    Not quite a bargain, but a definite retro want of mine
    http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Atari-Sears-Tele-Games-Pong-/192206479347?hash=item2cc0661ff3:g:ZFEAAOSwmgJY4B2j
    latest?cb=20110501203612
    An original Pong console, released through Sears in the States under the Telegames brand in 1975, prior to the later Atari branded Pong machine in 1976.
    My own Pong console is the second one, called Super Pong, it's identical but for a four way switch to select game variants, but I would still love an original Pong machine!
    And this one is priced fairly keenly too, around €100 all in, not including the inevitable customs charges.
