Interest Check: MB14282 and MB14368 Custom IC Repros

[SNESNESCUBE64]

A hot minute ago @Dillweed loaned me a couple daughterboards that were used instead of customs from his early run of Spiders by Sigma, so I went ahead and repro'd them to offer them as an alternative to dead customs. Fast forward several months later and I have these repro daughterboards that he tested in his R2DTank. They even worked (other than a couple bodge wires on the MB14282 because I made a haha oops). The only two games that I know for a fact these will work on is Spiders and R2DTank, if anyone knows of other boards that use these please let me know.

I am getting ready to source the rest of the parts I need to assemble these, so my question is before I order them, does anyone care about these enough to justify the assembly? I have blank boards, but I don't want to spend the money on the chips if nobody cares about them. I am NOT doing preorders and this is NOT a signup thread, I don't know when I am going to get around to finishing this stuff. For reference, I had the PCBs made in February or something and I am now just getting to them.

I have a dead Spiders that needs one of these- I can't remember which specific custom I'm missing though, I'm missing the one that isn't covered by the top board.

Most likely IC59

Cool project... never even noticed U59 was a custom on Spiders, since the schematic is so poorly scanned.
Looks like it must be a clock divider + dram controller.

I love tank games and spare custom chips is god send. So at least one for my own person use cause a broken machine is no fun to have.

I would like it complete cause some parts are just hard to get. Have you ever ask some company I just want one part? An if build it I know it be a ready solution.

If i still deal with large collections, the likelihood of finding that game with that issue goes up. So at least two for me.

That if you build it.
