Is there no love for Qbert anymore?

I love the game and almost picked one up in a trade awhile back but the other guy backed out. Someday I'd love to own one.
 
I just got mine fully operational again (had given my working monitor chassis away a long time ago and had to source a new one, sound was also glitchy) a month or so back. Ended up replacing the power supply, CPU board, and sound board with rebuilt ones from Takeman and Riptor. Am thinking I need to install a switcher conversion kit though to protect the new hardware. Yes, I know, the knocker sounds weak when you do that, but I'd rather have a more bulletproof machine overall and maybe just look into getting a lower voltage solenoid for the knocker later.

Still wish that Dokert would consider making replacement Q*bert harnesses though (pretty sure someone had sourced the connectors now?).
 
I would be happy to have one but I haven't even seen one in years. I had a converted cabinet that I was trying to put back, but I ran out of money and ended up selling my parts to pay bills. I guess it wasn't meant to be.
 
I would like to have one someday. I play it in MAME occasionally, but since I have pillaged my X Arcade stick, and have to play it with the keyboard - I really suck at it.
 
I WANT A DEDICATED ONE BAD!!!!
I haven't even had a LEAD on one around here.......
 
I love this game, but the local arcade has had alot of problems with the PCB, so it is down more than running. I am praying someone will make a reliable pcb(61 in 1???) to retrofit an original game.

I've got 2 of them! One is dedicated and the other has the Doyle 8 in 1 kit.

I, for one, am looking forward to Q*Bert's addition to the ArcadeSD board.
 
I have not seen a thread in a while for a Qbert.
Not for sale, repair, wanted....nothing.
Where's the love?

Lots of love for Q*Bert...I think that's why we aren't seeing any for sale as everyone's hanging on to theirs :D

Rick Carter just played a monumental 59 hour marathon on Q*Bert just 2 weeks ago at the Twin Galaxies festival in Ottumwa.

He and George are throwing around the idea of doing a 2 man marathon sometime soon.

I'd love to find a steal on a nice Q*Bert cab at some point...a great title for sure :)

I just made new Repro Qbert Control Panels :)

I got mine and started to put on the NOS overlay I bought on eBay. Affixed the top half and left backing on other half, planning to let it sit clamped for a day or so to avoid the overlay peeling at the top bend. Then had to go back to Saudi. It's still sitting at home half affixed lol. :D

I hate to say this but Q*bert looks like an orange-furred scrotum and foreskin with eyes and legs slapped on, hopping around a pyramid of cubes. What the @!#?@! is up with that? I can't allow that kind of game in my house!
