Bally Sente collection lineup for future Ca Extreme

Hi guys,
Its been awhile since I've posted anything here. One of the quirky ideas I had was to have a Bally Sente Marathon with all the Bally Sente conversion games.
Not by having all the 20 or so game cabinets there, but by having maybe three game cabinets (at least one for each style) and then and have a swapping party. There are about 16 or so games. Between 3 cabinets and 24 hours of Ca Extreme we would swap in a new game to each of the cabinets about every 4-6 hours.
I just purchased a SAC-1, I already had a sente Cocktail and I have the proto conversion cab.
I have about 7-8 complete conversions (rom board + control panel). I have some marquees as well. If we can get enough interest in some people just bringing their conversion parts maybe we could get a complete lineup going.
I have two Snake Pit control panels (one of each kind), and I'm pretty sure I've got the rom board laying around somewhere in a pile of boards but I've never tried it out yet.
My collection is already entered in on vaps. There is no way I could pull this off myself, so I'm looking for others that might be interested in helping out.
I think we can carve out a small exhibit area with copies of the history of Bally Sente to hand out if anyone is interested in donating some time to put a writeup together. Maybe some parapheniallia. Maybe even get a speaker or two to discuss Bally Sente's origins. I'm thinking CA Extreme 2014 which would coincide with 20 years after the intro of their first game.
Hopefully I can get Gridlee up and running to come along for the ride.
Any interest?

Contact Richie Knucklez, he has acquired a ton of Sente stuff including a domain name.
 
You don't by any chance have any chicken shift stuff ? I've been looking for that game for a while, I would even love to just get a scan of the marquee. I know the control panel was vectorized not sure on it's acuracy, but I did send that link to Richie K. a long time ago.. I know his board is built on another sente game I'm curious as to how he did it.


 
sente conversion kits

Sorry, no chicken shift.
but I do have:
gimme a break
hat trick
mini golf
name that tune
night stocker
spiker
stocker
snakepit (2 control panels, just need to find that rom board)
I also have the diagnostic rom board, but thats pretty boring to play.
I am trying to complete a collection of these sente conversion games so I am looking to buy other kits, especially cocktail kits. I think if have hat trick in both the upright and cocktail.
For this bally sente exhibit I'd really like to see Team Hat Trick, or any other unusual one to show up.
 
dale, I have a sac1 one (UR style) with gimme a break in it. I think it has PS issues. I have a night stocker control panel but I don't have the card or marquee. If you need it for cax, I can bring it.

Someone was recently selling the other style cab in santa cruz. I can check if its still there.

I picked up the fridge last weekend. It was in Ben Lomond. I didn't believe anyone would outbid me, even with my max bid of $30. It wasn't working. I need to put some casters on that thing soon. It also needs some good sideart.
 
Hey Dale I would help with panel swapping, pcb swapping, whatever you guys need if you need bodies. You may remember I introduced myself to you as we were both hauling our games out of CAX this year. (I put the 999,997 on your tron.) :)
 
I think what I'm really going to need is others stepping up to make available the conversion kits I don't already have. I'll see if I can swing a deal at ca extreme to count the conversion kits as full games.
