Hello AP crew,
In my quest for a working Neo Geo MVS over the past year, I received two bad boards (sold as good/working) off eBay before finally receiving a working board. Thankfully, I was able to get my money back for both- the first seller was very understanding, said keep it and gave me a refund, the second seller tried to say I was scamming him and opened an eBay claim; thankfully I won- I sent it back but he wrote "Refused- Return to Sender" so I wound up with a second nonworking board as well.
I have no soldering experience nor the skills to diagnose what's wrong, but I've always been against throwing away nonworking vintage gaming parts as there's always someone out there who may have a use for it. So I'm giving them away for free, though I would ask the recipient to pay for shipping.
I prefer to ship Priority for reliability, speed and tracking, so expect roughly $9 on an individual board and $15 on shipping both boards in one box. If you take both, I'll include a Super N in 1 (120 in 1) Neo Geo multicart that was included in the sale of the first board (tested on my supergun and working). To make life easy, I'm limiting shipping to within the continental US.
I want to stress that these are nonworking boards. The first board (MV-1FZ) does display a garbled image, so there may be hope for it. The second board (MV-1C) seemed to short out power to my entire supergun setup (!) so use/repair at your own risk.
Here are some quick and dirty photos of the units:
I hope someone in the AP community can give these boards new life or at least use them for spare parts. Preserving original hardware can be a pain, and I know Neo Geo MVS boards are generally cheap and plentiful, but if you think you have a use for these, please let me know!
