I am building a multicade soon, but I'm using a CRT CGA monitor... I want a PCB that looks good but is not super expensive... The new ArcadeSD PCB is currently the best option... but it's very expensive costing a total of $360 without the SD card! Before the release of the ArcadeSD, there was an older version sold by Arcadeshop just called "Programmable Jamma PCB". It has a slightly different menu with arrows and pages instead of the easy scroll, some logos are different too. I remember when I was younger I used to eat at a restaurant called Ninfa's in my area, they used to have a machine that ran the old Arcadeshop board so I have a lot of nostalgia for it, It has less games than the SD but I would still be willing to buy it from anyone who has no use for it, or is looking to sell it. I'll pay around $260 with out programming cable and anything else. (which was its original price on Arcadeshop).

My friend, have you heard of MiSTer? Or MiSTercade?

I recommend that over this outdated thing.

If the cost for that is too high, how about a Pi set up that works in a cabinet with a CGA CRT? Still cheaper and many more games...

I'm not really familiar with it... I am tight on money so I really want to work with something I recognize, this being one of them, I prefer this "outdated" board because it's simple and it looks and plays accurately. Thanks for the recommendation.
 
OK, but a little reading will help you get something much better and give you more games. Also, everyone here can help you if you get in trouble. Check this out.

You can also google "retropie for sale" and probably get one ready to plug and play for under $250.

That being said, if you still want to stick with your item, go to KLOV, they come up for sale there a lot more than here, as this group generally doesn't use that type of product.
