    Vectrex Mini

    Looks like it comes with all the overlays, which is nice. $175 though? Kinda pricey... Would be nice if it supports 3rd party controllers while we're at it...

    Pitrex (Raspberry Pi adapter cartridge for Vectrex) thread

    Very nice! What's needed to mount the image file?

    FB - 3rd Party Red Computer Space - Massachusetts

    Honestly, I wouldn't even do an even swap for a Space War(s) (which is the grandchild of this) - it's a museum piece, and who wants to pay that much to just....look at it....

    Taxi board replacement needed

    Yeah; I've seen much worse. That's definitely repairable. DM me and we can discuss repair options (including doing an NVRAM upgrade to remove the need for batteries) unless you're leaning towards purchasing a replacement.

    Taxi board replacement needed

    Post pictures of the affected area - you'd be surprised what can be fixed... I've successfully repaired some really rough ones - may not be pretty afterwards, but they work reliably which is what counts. Of course, there's the "can it be fixed", and "can it be fixed for a reasonable price, when...

    Why I love JJ & STERN, but probably will not own one

    People gravitate towards what is "current" when they get into pinball. If you grew up playing EM's in the 60's, you have an emotional attachment to those going forward in many cases, though you can absolutely enjoy stuff coming out afterwards. Think of the number of older pins that are dirty...

    Misc - Mine The Overpriced Game Thread

    ...if you can't afford the *manual* for the game, how can you possibly afford the game itself? "The Simpsons" Pinball Manual

    eBay - 3rd Party Gremlin "CoMotion" PCB

    I've heard enough horror stories about that seller that I've never considered making a purchase myself. My brother won an auction of theirs without knowing the backstory and didn't have issues, but I'm not rolling the dice personally :p

    eBay - 3rd Party Gremlin "CoMotion" PCB

    See this link. Currently listed as "unknown" - matches KLOV PCB example. Of special interest to Bronze Age collectors; can't imagine these pop up too often.

    The Fluke 9010a Club

    Assuming you meant to link to this perhaps. Definitely not cheap, but an available alternative that's currently supported it appears!

    The Fluke 9010a Club

    Ah, gotcha - I did some quick searching before, but kept finding references to the "Fluke ii900 Industrial Acoustic Imager"... I think a lot of folks would love to have a good in-circuit tester like this, but I don't know that I've seen them pop up much in general, much less this specific model...

    The Fluke 9010a Club

    Do you mean Fluke 90 perhaps? There are a few up on eBay right now, including this pair of Z80 and 8085 models. Also a couple of individual 8085 models posted. I don't see them come up all that often though, agreed. I picked up a 6809 version many years back, and it came in handy working on a...

    The Fluke 9010a Club

    Had a friend asking me to dig into his Pole Position boards recently; I've been able to repair a few sets in the past, but with this particular set, made no progress, nor did a local "professional" apparently. Given how nothing else uses the Z800x Pod, I'm guessing the answer is likely "no"...

    IC Reader / Burner Recommendations

    What Andy said (not that I have a GQ-4X), but start with something basic that'll meet your core needs, and then go from there if you're just getting into it. I started with a programmer on my Apple //e that only handled three sizes, then to a Needham's PB-10 (and still have it hanging off a...

    SOLD - PARTS Multiple PCB's - Blitz 2000, Gauntlet Legends, Universal Power PCB (Mr. Do, others), Dragon's Lair ROM PCB.

    All untested, some missing parts - additional images on request. All prices + actual shipping. De-cluttering, so this stuff is gonna go one way or another. Feel free to DM with offers if you think the price is off-base. Blitz 2000 - two PCB set - looks like sound/game ROMs missing, one heat...

    MMAO - Parts: Namco System 23 board - Time Crisis 2 I believe?

    On a shelf since 2019 when I did a quick bench test - boots, and eventually comes up with "SUBCPU INITIALIZING ... SUBCPU PROGRAM Ver. 0206 SUBCPU INITIALIZE TIME OUT" - from what I've read, this is as far as it'll boot without an I/O board connected. All I have is the main board - no cage, no...

    Star Wars Cockpit w/ 25" monitor - any recent sales?

    I'd agree with the $4500 to $5000 range. Mine sold for $3500 in spring of 2018 (yes, that's a while ago) after several months of tire kickers who were "raising the money", or wanted me to load it up and deliver it 3 or 4 hours away on my dime. Was in good overall condition, but the original...

    Pitrex (Raspberry Pi adapter cartridge for Vectrex) thread

    For those of us w/out Facebook, is this mirrored/linked somewhere else perhaps?
