Gauging Interest: Cinematronics Exorciser Boards for 20 bucks?
I recently contacted Cinematronics/Vectorbeam guru Bill (wysiwyg2) about purchasing a Cinematronics Exorcisor board, and he said he just sold his last one. However, if there is enough interest, he is willing to order another run of the boards.
Some Background:
If you have a Cinematronics game:
+ Star Castle
+ Armor Attack
+ Rip Off
+ Solar Quest
+ Tail Gunner
+ Star Hawk
+ Space Wars (or Vectorbeam Space War)
and want to repair the CCPU, the Exorcisor is probably the only way to troubleshoot the board properly. Bill has created a replica of the original Exorcisor, and instructions on how to use it. (http://www.biltronix.com/cinexor.html)
Bill has been selling these for $100 (and worth it, if you do Cine CCPU repairs). The amazing thing is that he is willing to sell the bare boards for $20 + ship, and supply a parts list for the components. So basically, you can build your own for very little money. At $20, this is a crazy good deal.
He has also said he will build them for the standard $100 price.
I wanted to share this with everyone, because I think it is an incredible bargain. Bill is very generous with his time and talent, and If you've seen his web site, you know the quality of work he does.
So please, if you have interest in the bare boards or completed boards, please go to the link (http://www.biltronix.com/cinexor.html) and read up on it. You can let me know via PM or by responding to this thread. "Critical Mass" is only 7 buyers (board or complete), so chime in and grab this bargain!
I will gather responses over the next few days and forward them to Bill.
NOTE: I posted in this forum (vs. the FS forum) because there's nothing to "sell" yet... I'm just seeing if there is enough interest to warrant another run of boards.
