Alright, before anybody asks about the Quantum it is tentatively sold.

Here is a description of the Boxing Bugs:

I powered it up last night and heard some game sounds and some squeeling. The spot killer comes on in the deflection board. After about 2 minutes of being powered up one of the resistors in the low voltage part of the deflection board started smoking. I checked the 5 volt line to the PCB set which was fine. I did not leave it powered up long enough to check the 25 volt or 6.3 AC lines from the power supply. The monitor does not appear to have had any previous repair work done on it.

The cabinet is pretty solid except for the top which has had moisture. I do not see any moisture damage on the bottom of the cabinet. Even the back door is solid.

I cleaned up the cabinet slightly. I did not put a lot of time into it. There is some rust on the marquee brackets and on the bolts that hold the control panel down.

There is a broken spot on the inside part of the front corner as seen in the pic. And there is some ruffling around the edges of the cabinet.

The game is complete, including manuals, except for the coin box and lid.

This is a very restorable cabinet. Fix the front corner, replace the top board, Bob's K6100 repair kit, and a multimeter should get you in business.

I had rather sell this to someone who will repair it versus me having to part it out. I got a wad of offers for parts from the Quantum but I sold it to someone who made me a fair offer for the complete game. He got it over the others who PM'd me "how much do you want?"

Here is what I don't understand. You show a game for sale but give no price, then seem to chastise those people who asked how much you want for it. As a reward for not asking "how much" but rather making an offer, you sold (tentatively) your Quantum. Then of course you, like so many others on KLOV, do the disservice to the community by not stating what that sale price was. Did I get all this straight?
 
Okay, I offer 2 bits for the boxing bugs. Since you gave no price range I assume my offer is fair and therefore expect no offense to be taken by what many might consider a lowball offer.
 
i sent a pm asking for a price on the pair, but was never replied to, why should i make an offer on one when i was interested in buying the pair.

Hmmm, was not aware that I did the 'community' a disservice.

I'm sure there are a few that will not understand this. But, I accepted what was the best offer for me on the Quantum. It was not the highest offer by any means, not really even close to be honest. Even though I had a couple of people telling me I was running an Ebay auction and trying to get rich.

But my deal is with someone who:

1. I've done game deals with several times before and can trust. I won't get the run around about payment. It's cash, no Paypal, money orders, trades, etc.
2. He lives within 125 miles and is taking the whole game as is.
3. He can meet me to pick the game up around my schedule.
3. I'm not having to send a zillion detailed pics to or answer continual PCB and monitor questions.
4. I'm not having to part out the game. Even though I could have gotten at least $500 to $600 more for it than what I did by parting it out.
5. I'm not having to dealing with packing, crating, or even make arrangements to meet a shipping company.

So, this is it in a nutshell for those that thought they knew everything via some of the PMs I received. The Quantum wasn't about the highest offer but the best offer for me and my schedule.

Now, if you are interested in the Boxing Bugs you can PM me about it. There are a couple of guys interested who appear to be serious. Unless something unexpected happens, I plan on having a deal done with someone here by early next week on it.

And if the Quantum deal falls through for some unexpected reason, I will PM the people back who seemed to have a 'serious, no tire kicking' interest in it. I don't have the time for all the other stuff.

Any idea what he wants for the Boxing Bugs? I sent a PM that went unanswered as well.
 
So how much did the Quantum sell for? I'll never understand all the secrecy involving selling or buying prices around this place. I sold my working Krull in nice condition for $290 last year. Who else wants to confess? Anyone......Bueller?

Maybe he doesn't want to drag private deals into a public forum. Most of us usually leave it to the PMs.

Now, the Boxing Bugs would be a good project for someone. Rare as hell, that would be a showpiece in someone's collection.. I hope to at least play it on the ZVG someday!

Have no fear dealing with bhamarcade. I've had deals with him in the past and everything has been completely described and some. He has a nice collection and knows his stuff and has come across a lot of rare stuff.

Yeah, without SOUND.

Whomever buys this game, PLEASE, PLEASE make a recording audio or video for a few minutes with good audio so that the sounds can be added to this game in mame. Post it here or send me a PM and I will try to figure this out. This game really needs SOUND! All the sounds even have nomenclature already, they just need to be recorded and edited. Here is the samples list but I personally have never seen/heard the actual audio samples.

Thanks!
Good luck with the sale!

I am majorily bummed. Not that you sold it, but that you didn't sell it to me (well at least didn't sell me the part I wanted). If it should fall through, I hope you consider me as someone who was serious about it.

Oh well, I totally understand though, selling the whole thing is way easier, and often the convenience is worth it over the money.
