I think I got a pretty good deal on this R*Type. $100 on Craigslist. Just going to replace the glass and it should be good to go. Side art is nice and plays great!

Anyone have a source for those crazy Nintendo Japanese Marquee flourescents?

There are a few places online, but I've get mine from topbulb.com.

Starter: https://www.topbulb.com/find/Product_Description.asp_Q_f_E_reorder.asp_A_intProductID_E_44561

Bulb: https://www.topbulb.com/find/Product_Description.asp_Q_f_E_reorder.asp_A_intProductID_E_47246

I'd replace the starter first. In the past, it always seemed that they go first most of the time and that the bulb is still good.
 
Thanks, good point. Are the starters available at Home Depot or anywhere locally?

good price for a working one. I had one like this that I sold for $250 and it was about what it's worth. Sadly it went on to get converted to a PC10

This is a VS cab conversion as the dedicated are all black.
 
Are those for all nintendo cabs? My dk need illumination...

Yes, for all nintendo 100 volt cabs. As long as someone didn't convert it.

And you will not find the starter or bulb at any local hardware stores because they are japanese 100 volts.

Others have hacked in a standard US 120volt florescent unit, but I like to keep things original.
 
Congrats on the pick-up. I offered him his original asking price of 150 and got no response. Then yesterday morning he said it was still available and I said I'd take it. Nothing against you, but WTF is his deal? I guess he didnt want the full asking price.

Sorry, dude. I saw his craigslist ad on Saturday evening advertising it for $100. Called him on it and picked it up yesterday.
 
It's all good. Like I said, nothing against you. He must have just needed the first 100 bucks and it just didnt matter who it was from. At least we have it in the klov family now.

Wanna sell it for a small profit? lol
