I'd be interested depending on price, shipping probably restricts this to a U.S. buyer.
F3 multi is $370USD + shipping, so $400USD, plus F3 mobo. Not sure what those are worth now, $60USD maybe?
I'd price it at around $400-450USD for the set personally

I have never seen a F3 motherboard (2017 onwards) for less than $150, I hope you are right though. Sounds about the amount I would pay for it as well.
F3 mobos at the ready on Ebay go for about $100USD ish.
From hand-to-hand operator buy it would be around $60 for sure.
450$ USD shipped is a nice price for both parties, especially fully configured with SD card and what-not.
The amount of amazing gaming you get for the 450 is a deal within itself.
Darius especially.

??? I’ve been 100% happy with mine. It’s worked flawlessly and the game library is very good. Highly recommended.
I was referring to the sync issues I was having.
I had to mess with post and coast pll settings on my ossc and then change my out put from component to RGB d-sub 15. The short test I did with the Aeros didn't work either so now I am told to mess with my hold setting.
I love the games: Elevator Action, Puzzle bobble 4, Bubble bobble II, those wonderful shmups. I just wish it wasn't so finicky fixing the sync issues.

This is a sale thread, why would you come in here to complain about the issues you’re having?
Others have the F3 and it works perfectly well, especially in a cab which is what the hardware is designed for.
If you’re having issues, take it to the tech threads and learn about how to fix them, don’t ruin a price check/sale thread.

That's an issue with LCD's and the OSSC and everything else, really. Not the multi.
Out of respect to a price check. I will not deter a possible sale and will end with saying I love the f3 multi and would recommend it to anyone GLWYS.
I love mine and would never sell it for $450 either.
The sync is so different on the F3 that you need to adjust the horizontal hold. However, it will work just fine. Most likely you will have to adjust it again when you want to play something with normal sync.
Long story short. I pulled out all my multis this weekend to test before I list for sale and my ossc now shows “init error -2”. Was just trying to get the F3 tested with the vga hat I just purchased . 2+ years and no luck playing it. I tested with my gbs8200 when I got it. No issues. Unfortunately I cannot find the related cable to hookup the video and will need to get another. Cheaper and faster than a new ossc for now.
My OSSC hates my F3. I've tried even adding a scaler after the OSSC to see if it can capture it... nope.
What DOES work is this stupid thing????

It's the "Chinese Shit Scaler" and it just works.
My cable flow...
PCB - jamma scart bypass - shit scaler - datapath capture card.
I'll be streaming my F3 on my Twitch stream tomorrow night at 8 if you want to see that configuration in action.

@psykom thanks. I wish I had asked about this sooner. I got spoiled with the cps2 and stv setups which are basically plug and play in comparison to the F3. I really want to use this multi before selling. Very frustrating for a noob like me.
I have to keep it as a spare scaler for oddities like NBA Jam and other medium res games that the OSSC just still can't handle.
Yes it introduces about 2-3 frames of good lag, but it's very workable when scaling at lower res (720p).
I've run Third Strike tourneys with many none-the-wiser until they saw the hardware.
For capture it's a passable toolbox piece of hardware with plug-and-play usability.
I'm not a big fan of thread derailments but to at least provide a solution that isn't insanely slow before you go crazy buying things:
Another option is the retro scaler a1 by invizim. It'll scale to 31khz and output a vga signal which OSSC should take fine or you can just plug into a standard 31khz vga monitor.

I had trouble with the F3 and the OSSC as well until @RGB hooked me up with an adapter for it and @rtw helped with the settings. Make sure you set the H-PLL pre and post coast to 4 as well.
My thread on the OSSC and F3 is here: Possible to Mod a Taito F3 Board for Better Sync Compatibility?
