I'm going to offer these up for sale. My wife and I are going to be moving soon and vids won't make it upstairs to the gameroom. I'm pretty sure my pins will have to have the backboxes removed to get up there, it is a very narrow stairway with a sharp turn. With that said, these are by no means rock-bottom they-must-go prices. If I can't get a decent amount for them I'll leave them downstairs in the living room or something:)

I'm located in zip code 77833 which is right between Houston and Austin. I prefer local pickup, obviously. I have never shipped a game or anyting that I couldn't drop off at the PO or UPS Store, but..... if someone wants to buy one/both of these and have it shipped, I am available anytime to have someone come pick it/them up. However, I can't off any help palleting or anything like that, so that would all be up to whatever shipper you would use.

Splatterhouse = $750

This thing was fully stipped down. Anything that needed bondo to get it smooth got it. Was primed and foam rollered with Sherwin Williams oil based paint. The artwork was printed by a KLOVer (can't remember his name here) that used to print artwork.

The PCB is encased in a plexi case: when a PCB costs as much as this one I want to know it isn't gonna get smacked around. It is super clean and outputs stereo sound. I keep the vol. pot cranked up and it sounds great.

The monitor is a 25" WG K7000 that I rebuilt. New flyback and capkit, and all solder reflowed. The tube got balanced and cleaned with my BK 467. It has a super nice picture, very bright and clear.

The controls are Sanwa. The joystick has a round gate in it, which I like better than the normal 8-way, though I have the 8-way one for it as well. The action buttons are translucent, and the 1 and 2 player start buttons are solid black.

The coindoor was stripped and painted. It still has the coin mechs. The right coin reject is set up to add credits, you just push it in like normal and a credit is added.

Willow = $750

This is a full Willow kit installed in a 3Koam 19" cab. I purchased it complete without side art a few years ago. Since then I completely stipped it, bondoed what needed it and primed/painted it with Sherwin Williams iol based paint. I also located (from two different people about 2 years apart) two NOS sideart pieces and applied them after the cab restoration.

The monitor is a 19" WG K7000. It has a new flyback/cap kit and all solder was reflowed. The tube was balanced and cleaned with my BK 467.

The controls are Sanwa on this one as well. The joystick has the round gate plate in it, but the standard one is also included. I also have a green ball top for the joystick.

The coindoor was stripped and painted. It has coin mechs. The player 2 start button acts as the credit adder on this one.

Say it ain't so!

Honestly, that's the nicest Willow I've ever seen as it's very rare to find the art in good condition, especially the CPO. I'm not a huge fan of Splatterhouse, but that's not a very common game either.

I vote for leaving them downstairs in the living room if you really don't have to sell them. :D
 
Wow Count! You are giving up Splatterhouse?! What about "anything Splatterhouse is serious". Wish I lived closer and had the extra cash. I would buy it now.

Thanks, it is super nice. The bezel only has very minor fading, less than any I've seen come up for sale in the past couple years.

Well the pins will be going upstairs for sure. My better half doesn't like the idea of having my pins/arcade stuff in two separate parts of the house. I can't say I blame her, so that is why they are for sale. The downstairs doesn't have a room that can be used exclusively as a "game room" , but the upstairs does. So the pins will go up there, and there will be a 37" and 27" tube tv there for consoles to be played on.
 
Wow!

Bump for a great seller and outstanding member of the community!

I can tell you all that The Count really takes care of his games and he doesn't let them in the house unless they're damn near perfect, pics speak for themselves. Good Luck on your move J! You moving closer into town?
 
note to self: Find local Splatterhouse.

the plexi case is L33T, may i ask how much the PCB runs? (just out of curiosity).

IMO keep Splatterhouse, tho Willow looks BA also.

Splatterhouse PCB's usually run right at $300. I paid $325 shipped for mine from a member here a couple years ago.

thanks for the info, if you were closer i would be biting my nails trying to figure out how to get it off your hands, I wish you luck with the sale and at the same time I want you to take it to your new place.

What makes you think I wouldn't snatch it up first if it were local ;-)
 
You guys need to stop arguing over who would buy it first if it was local and start trying to find the most cost efficient way to get it picked up and shipped to you :)

You sold your Marty, so if you get rid of the arcade version do you at least have the Turbografx version to play? You could always play the Famicom version in your NES. :p

No TG16 anymore. But I do still have the neat Famicom version and the adapter for the NES. I also have both versions for the Sega. Although none of these stack up to the arcade version, not even close.

Oh course! I just don't get it! You can't sell that! I won't let you!
