Nicer condition Star Wars Trilogy Sega arcade game from 1998. With all of these 50” projection screens they suffer from significant screen burn. This one is much better than most. The heavy snow Hoth levels even look passable on this screen.(remote included). All speciality lights/bulbs...

Game is sold.

1973 Stockade EM gun game. In decent condition for its age. Sound board is flaky, two of the close spring up targets are inconsistent. Otherwise works good. I’m not on KLOV very often so text or call JOHN 916-365-5696

Count me in for a kit. Free play would be a great bonus. Ikari Warriors is a great game worthy of such a kit.

I was recently looking forward to adding a Cruis'n Exotica to my collection. Nice looking dedicated cab, variety of colorful venues to race, cool car selection. I really tried to like it, but found it just not fun to play. Granted they did make a ton of money in their day. I am totally into...

I am attempting a control panel swap on my sit down Hydro Thunder. The original was cracked and missing the main center decal. I just got a much nicer one on Ebay. Manual is no help. I'm trying to get the throttle removed from the plastic dash. Anyone have any experience with this? It is...

Do any Rush 2049 fans know if the two additional tracks 6 and 7 and new cars in Rush 2049 SE are the same as in the TE version? I just picked up a pair of 2049's running the original game, and am looking to upgrade to the best version. Is it SE or TE? Thanks for any input, John

Need a replacement board for my dead Police 911. I can also use any other Konami Viper based pcb. Thanks, John

I got my Police 911 pcb back from Betson today. They charged me $100 and told me it was unrepairable. Here are their notes, Repair Performed: "Gun issue traced to a known problem with main processor chip #U38 (BGA). KONAMI factory has determined this to be a non-repairable chip failure...

Thanks for the suggestions. I sent the board off to Betson yesterday. I spoke with Betson's in -house Konami repair guy. He seemed pretty knowledgeable about that particular board problem. He quoted me $230 to fix it, and a one day turn around. Could have been worse.

Thank you for the info. That is exactly what I feared. I remember sending a Sega Model 3 board stack through Betson for repairs a few years ago and it was around $250 then. I have read some conflicting things as to weather a viper board is simply the mother board, and the game is only on...
