I've seen a fair number of complete NOS JAMMA conversion kits on op raids, but not too many pre-JAMMA games. Thought people might like to see how a conversion kit looks, NIB. You can see the full set of pics, with high res pics here: http://www.tollianweb.com/uc/Mikie/Mikie.html

I bought this one off ebay in mid-2000, so I really don't want to say what I paid for it then (I know I'd never be able to sell it for that much now).

email sent concerning mikie kit.

I only accept pm's so this should be interesting communication. :)
 
Was there a second crash I am unaware of?

Wait, so you (OP) believe/know that this was worth exponentially more 11 years ago? How can that be?!

Worth probably a couple of bills now... I'd buy it.
 
Nice pics Joe! I had Centuri Phoenix cabinet that had been converted to Mikie, but they basically threw the board and marquee in the cabinet, sprayed the bezel black and peeled the Phoenix stickers off the side. I always wondered if they would really make a conversion that craptastic on purpose. I guess they didn't. The operator just spent 3 minutes doing a conversion :(

I have the 'Nintendo' version of this kit.
It is installed in a DK cabinet with the Mikie side art.
Fun but difficult game.
 
Thats frickin rad!! I take it this is something you just re-discovered joe? If you every get the oppertunity to tour joes place, make sure you take the time to do so.
 
Thanks for the post. Reminds me of the NOS Quartet 2 kit and four other pre-JAMMA conversion kits I bought years ago. It's cool opening new (old) kits.

I stated I bought it off ebay when prices were at their highest. You don't agree that games and parts were selling for their highest about 2000 right before the internet bubble burst?

Here is an NOS Block Out and F-1 Dream (Romstar/Capcom) kit. I also have a NOS Dodge Ball kit.

Some of you might remember that I raided an op's basement a couple years ago and lucked out with several NOS kits:

Titles included Tiger Heli, Bone Crusher, Vulgus, F-1 Dream, Terra Force, Tough Turf, Lee Trevino's Golf, Bloxeed, Lifeforce, Air Wolf, Gunsmoke, and Donkey Kong 3.

The only one I didn't sell (or use ala Gunsmoke) was The Glob. And for those of you curious...no. Hanging on to this one still.

Does working for an operator since '84 count? If so I've seen thousands of NOS kits but they were just NEW kits back then...

Nice find. Never installed one of those.
