He sold the Tetris PCB and 16B board package.

Hi folks! I wanted to ask for opinions on a possible ATX Sun PSU replacement. NewEgg has the ARESGAME 500W 80+ Bronze Certified PSU (AGV500) on sale for $39.95. Cables included. Amazon has it @550W TP for $29.99...

Honestly, the case depicted in the eBay listing looks pretty decent. Obvious normal wear and tear is found, but a little soap and water can remedy a lot. I thought about buying their $430 bundle initially, but I don't really want the GD-ROM + DIMM. Selling the Drive/Module/Cable for $150...

I think I might go this route. Looks within my price range and hopefully can be cleaned up reasonably. I wish I could see the motherboard, to be certain it wasn't hacked to death.

I will do that. I found new OEM parts for the possibly affected chips (both since discontinued by Intel/Altera!). Just received updated pics from the seller. Whoever owned this Naomi2 completely butchered it. I'm guessing this mobo is junk, without a VERY expensive repair. The case is pristine...

I read here Ken's the go-to guy for all things Sega. My fear is the cost. If it was a $10 buy, I wouldn't hesitate to box and send it to him. The Naomi2 acquisition cost is considerably higher, for an otherwise pristine looking unit. By the time the repair expense was applied, I would have been...

Hi everyone! Would you be able to tell if this is irreparable damage to the motherboard? Do you think the Altera Chip may be damaged? Or just the 315-6188 to the left of it? Can a TLC272CP serve as a replacement IC? Would a BIOS write a serial number to the 315-6188 after replacement, or do I...

You can swap the games with the EPROMs on the game pcb? They appear socketted.

Do you still have the Chiharos?

If it were a wire transfer to Cereth or KC, people with a known reputation for honorable business, I'd accept the risk. Gaming One's lack of reviews, coupled with their unprofessional attitude just triggered all my red flags. They blocked me anyway, so it's a moot point on my end. Seeing how...

Gaming One isn't keen on dealing well with anyone. They are petulant, and unprofessional to say the least. Gaming One advertised a "Chewlix" model in a Vewlix Group I belong to on Facebook. Interested in their proposal, I PM'd them for more info on the offer. Price seemed fair for the included...

Does anyone know if IST Mall Korea still sell Vewlix Clones? Their variant looks of decent quality. I wondered if anyone here knew anything about them.

Prior to Taito's liquidation, what were the Diamond Blacks selling for?

Why not incorporate redemption into arcade cabs? Distribute tickets based on score or some other criteria. It could help revive a sector, in bad need of reinvention. Everything can't be UFO Catchers after all. I have always assumed Taito's Diamond Black Line was just a poor seller. The Nesica...

I regret not pouncing on Cereth's Diamond Black sale. Kind of sad Taito exited the "candy cab" business.
