Someone has a afterburner arcade standup style for 300 in great shape. Whats the going rate for a afterburner these days? Anyone else like afterburner as much as I do? Your opinions would be greatly appreciated.
 
I own an upright, and I enjoy it. It's fun, the graphics were awesome for its time. If I were to sell mine, I'd sell it for $300-$350.
 
I've got the deluxe version and love it. I bet the standup version rocks as well. Doesnt the flightstick have a shaker motor in it? Is it afterburner 1 or 2?

the flightstick does have the shaker motor in it and its afterburner 1 but he said he will give me the board to afterburner 2 as well.....

I bought my original one (working 100% but needed some cosmetic stuff) for $100. I almost bought a second one for $150 but bailed because I had to move. Normally I see them listed between $200-350. I'd say, $350 is the very top end and for that I'd except VERY good condition.
 
I know someone who got one for $100 with an ABII board in it. It's a fun game.
 
I have an U/R bought for $180 but it had sounds and graphix problems,
which I was able to fix with rom swaps.

AB1 has no throttle control (called "slottle" in test mode), less variety
in planes and very limited missiles. Originally, you were to try to shoot
down planes with the regular guns, which can be very challenging.

NOTE: Be sure the control panel is bolted down in the rear.
Most people miss this and it causes undue wear by allowing the
entire control assembly to be bounced and banged around.
 
Totally worth it - I loved that game when I was a kid - pumped all of my money into it at Jolly Time. Freaking awesome graphics and sound effects - GET READY - FIRE FIRE FIRFIREFIREFIRE!! HAHAH

Oh and when you throw the coins in and it Peeeww PEWWWs!!

Thank you - I just added this to my want list.
 
AB Board

I am looking at buying a AB game but they are saying it needs a new board. How much is one and where can I get it? He said that the machine comes on and sound works but the screen is blue. When he runs a system test it comes up bad IC 30. Does this sound right?

Just replace whatever is at IC30. I have a Space Harrier (also Sega) that had a bad RAM chip reported by the self test. Replaced it and all is well.
 
I thought I read that the RAM is hard to come by. I had an Afterburner board repaired, but I was unable to read the test mode, as the graphics looked scrambled.
 
AB board repair.

Who would I contact about board repair? How much am I looking at?
 
I got one as well I got the cockpit version and need to offload the UR at some point but I still need it to fix the one I have in pieces in the garage. Just So I can make sure everything goes back in the right place its nice to have a complete game for comparison sakes. Honestly I would sell mine for $400 if I was going to sell it the side art is near perfect I rebuilt all the controls replaced all the pots. I need to recap the monitor and recap the power supply and the game will be virtually perfect.
