600 dollar multi is probably far off it never. The fact the market is selling out of 1000+ "conversion" boards the price is already solidified for now on that stuff. If a multi came out right now they would probably list it for 2000 or slightly more just my thoughts
Hey sorry I been going through alot recently but should be freeing up more next week.
Prices range from 1200 - 3000 USD depending on the model your after. Tested and working.
I have L/C/F and one Dia Black and Versus on hand right now.
We can reconnect soon about this.
yes this is what I assume happened I just cant imagine someone doing a clone board to THAT level of detail but I mean nothing is impossible.
They managed to get the gerbers from one of the PCB manufacturers. Its actually not totally uncommon for manu's in China to just leak out stuff.
I think...
The odd thing is the gold plating. I just put my CV1000D in storage otherwise id be staring at it as we speak.
Everything else looks like a 1:1 copy. Which sounds like a living hell to make from scratch. Maybe they stole the gerber files from Cave LOL
But then you have to go through the effort...
I figured this would happen some day.
to be realistic though CV1000-D boards usually fetch alot of money anyways. I dont think its possible to make a bootleg without forking out a ton for a donor board already unless its old stock these guys got in China for CHEAP
But also why go through the...
everything looks to be wired correctly.
Did you test this JVS board of KOF on another cab or was it working prior to the restore??
Reseat alll the cables on the IO board
incase anyone needs to know this is basically the block of caps your looking at for vertical. Around the vertical IC.
There is also a red mylar cap in front of the output Ic may be out of spec (odd for a mylar but I have seen it)
Molds can be remade but its expensive
If taito still has the art files then they could very easily run a batch of repro things, money talks and the less effort for them the better.
I never really discovered what those are for never looked into I think if you look at the pin out diagram for that main connector it would tell you.
You can use the chassis without it connected afaik seeing how i seen a number of these without them
When you borrow from peter to pay paul this quickly becomes a solution that is no longer possible.
Sounds like the dude is hosed now.
And thats expecting him to actually do that which again the window for such thoughts is long past
