I'm bummed out with my Red Tent :(

I bought it for the sole purpose of being able to play Vs Balloon Fight, and sadly its not working out for me. My problem? My gorilla like shrek hands, and wrists hurt from playing it. I dont know why, but its uncomfortable for me to sit at for long periods of time, and trying to raise it to its highest height doesn't work for me. I cant stand at it, and I'm uncomfortable sitting at it. It sucks cause the cab is awesome, and being able to swap out boards in 2 seconds is amazing. Im still going to get my 1,000,000 BF game on video, but after that, I want to see if I can trade it. Its in good shape, and I have a ton of PCBs for it. Off the top of my head, I have SMB, Dr Mario, RBI Baseball, Goonies, Balloon Fight, Pinball, Ice Climber, Slalom, and Excitebike.

Anyone looking for one of these? I dont want to sell it, I want to trade it. Its got brand new plexi's, and two brand new repro SMB/Dr Mario instruction cards on it. Its in good shape, and everything works/sounds find. The monitors have Vs Baseball burn in them, but its nothing too awful.

Games I'm looking for... (we can work out +/- cash if need be)

Pole Position
Joust
Berzerk (I seriously just put that?)
Q*Bert (yeah right, I know)
Centipede Cabaret
DK

Whatcha got? Thoughts? Ideas? Other game trade suggestions?
 
I have 5 of the 6 machines you are looking for but I am not interested in Red Tent. Got anything else to trade?

Unfortunately, no :(

The only other thing I thought about moving (as discussed in the pin thread) was Taxi. People say I would be dumb to trade a pin for vids though.
 
Sorry to hear Jow- hopefully someone will give it a good, loving home. Red tents are AWESOME, but there are just too many drawbacks to owning one.
 
Ive seen the drawings of those extension legs, but never an actual pic of them installed. Does it look like shit? Anyone have a pic?

Here is a pic of the kit on my RT when I bought it. It is sitting at its lowest setting in this pic but it can bring the cp up to the height that a normal upright cab would have it at. I have since removed it and sold it. Didn't Phet have the leg extension kit on his RT for awhile? He must have a couple dozen pics he could share. ;)

My other thought was that you could throw the Vs. BF pcb into a Unisystem cab if you're only concerned with playing it 1-player. I have considered doing that numerous times as I'm the only one in my family that likes (loves) the game.

Would you consider a Williams Multi?

I thought you said that had issues? ;)

I might do that actually. As expected, no one has PM'd about any trades, so I don't see myself moving this thing. Maybe I'll try the leg extensions down the road.
