FS fb: Punisher "untested"

For Sale
Yep he is about 30-40 mins from my house. He asked me if I could test it as I have the parts, but I have not had the time. So I can say this board is truly untested.

*EDIT* Oh by the way it's missing the double edge connector for the JAMMA. That's the only reason it's not been tested yet. I have like 4 of em.

I recently got a WoF with the "ratteling around" inside noise.. turned out to be the battery. Acid spray everywhere.. corrosion from the acid inside the IDC connectors etc.. will eventually fix it but its a lot of work..
please take that into consideration. (but I doubt anyone would ever put down 500usd for a untested unit with ratteling since its widely known these batteries are deadly as h*ll for these pcbs :(...)
 
man I've been looking for a CPS1.5 are the JAMMA edge adapters hard to find? and do you know if that $500 is shipped?

seems risky paying that much for an "untested" board.

EDIT: good to know the rattling is likely battery, in that case HARD PASS.

Yeah in my case it was. Man I had to remove all sockets from the Q sound board, because they were a total mess and acid eating throu traces underneath em :(. And will need to replace 2x IDC female connectors on the B board, and probably all 4 female ones on the C board because I cant get rid of the corrosion inside :(.. could hardly get it appart even from the start.

Unseen I would most def pass on this for 500usd..
 
I've got a Mars Matrix B-Board with some Acid Damaged EPROM sockets and a few 74-series ICs that need replace Not fun but thankfully I only paid $40 for it.

$500 a good price for a potential acid damaged pcb set?? He even states that its unopened so I bet you the battery has gone dancin around in there sprayin it all ;(
 
Yes, I bought a WoF2 game in the exact same condition (even with the bouncing around piece inside) and sent it to @undamned for him to play with and he fixed it in one day. If I had been able to buy this, it would have also went his way, not only for me to score a "cheap" Punisher, but also to help him further develop his resurrection chips for the CPS system.

Oh well, I hope whoever did snag it is able to get it working.

Of course it's a total gamble, but with Punishers now going for 900-1k, it would have been worth the risk to me.

Well if it turned out to be a screw and not a leaked battery then its ofc a very simple fix :). Battery leakage can easily make it unrepairable.
But sometimes we are lucky and the battery sprays the other way and all we get is some worn plastic :).

I have had 4 or 5 cps1.5 sets and "only" 2 had bad leaks, but the first I fixed and the one I have on my desk now I am pretty sure I will get running too.

Time to make a bankswitch por mans multi on the WoF thats missing case label maybe :)

Prices are just bat shit crazy nowadays...

Tell me about it... the two Cave games on PCB that I REALLY want to complete the collection have recently sold for $2600 USD and $6100 USD.

I'm out of that race and waiting until they get back to reality. Booting up the 360 on a NUC is really just fine when you're taking the price of multiple cabs for a single game.
 
I think it's a matter of time and all these prices will start coming down. It's like classic cars, a restored fast back Mustang was $30k 20 years ago, now you can pick them up for pennies... oh wait, crap.

:P

Who knows though, as we start getting older and dying off, the supply will re-flood the market!

Maybe that Mistr project will finally scratch everyones itch too. I don't know.

It's always about cycles. When real estate isn't a good investment then art/collectibles become the new trend. Unfortunately on the long run prices never go back to where they used to be before...

I hope to have an other 30/40 years before me. And during that time a lot of people will choose to enjoy life, which means throwing big $$ to get what they want and play NOW not in an hypothetic 20 or 30 year time.

They're not though. they're getting LISTED in that range but they're not selling in that range. @jassin000 had one fully working in great shape for sale for $600 for AGES and no one bit, I believe he ended up having to drop the price to move it.

I sold Punisher to a friend of my buddy Bill for 350$.
It was original with case, label yadda yadda.

This whole... "All arcade games are now worth 1k$" Is BS, don't buy/don't support.

Exactly, as long as people keep paying these insane prices, sellers will ask them
 
Hmm .. yeah I'm with you guys. I guess it's not that they are worth $1k .. but someone with money wants it bad enough to pay. I sure the hell would not pay that much for something that was not working already.

All it takes is one sale for a high amount then all the other sellers hear this and follow suit. It's gotten to where you can't try to correct it by selling stuff at the prices they should be at as the sellers will buy up everything at reasonable prices to price gouge everyone else.
 
I sold punisher fully working few months back for $400 USD shipped. Sold in maybe 20 mins of posting though.
