Indy 500 Boardset needed...

Archived from groups: rec.games.video.arcade.collecting (More info?)

I hate to tell you Tim, but it's probably going to cost a good bit more then
that... I had a ROM board repaired and it nearly cost $200 just to get it
fixed.

A full working boardset (without the comms board) is likely to be 300+ (the
last one I saw on e-bay was a year ago and it went for $295) (which is why I
had my rom board fixed).

I have a full twin with two working boards (it just has a ground current
issue, happens with everything unplugged so theres a short somewhere) that
I've been trying to sell for $800 as is (I really don't feel like working on
it any longer.. it was working except for the right side force feedback
until I went to take pictures to sell it... grr...).

I'm hoping not to have to part it out (the parts are worth more then $800,
but as it's almost there it'd be a shame to scrap a working one).

If I do decide to part it out I'll let you know...

steve

ps: anyone want an Indy 500 Twin in the NJ area for $800?

That's the same situation I found myself in... I bought a Twin off e-bay for
$1500 + another $350 shipping... got it to my house... the right side almost
the same problems as yours... and wouldnt' you know it it was completely
free in the seat and must have bounced around all over the damn place during
shipping...

Unfortunatly this was intended to be a x-mas gift for my kids and it was no
late november... I ended up buying a *second* Indy Twin (with a guarantee
this time, they shipped it themselves) as there was just not enough time
left to fix the first.

After a lot of work (and a few houndred more) I had the first one working
almost perfectly (except for right side feedback), took some pictures and
now petooe... all that I did was slide the one cab to the right to connect
them....

so I have basically $2K into the machine at this point and just want to get
rid of it... I figure $800 will at least get me back some garage space for
the winter, but if no one wants it then I'll part it out.

I'll keep you in mind.

best,

steve
