I just bought a very clean looking, almost NOS red tent in the Netherlands. You can read the full story here: http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=1757.0

The Tent has not been used in an arcade and was owned by the same seller mentioned in this topic: http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=136202&highlight=nos+red+tent
It has the Goonies and Slalom inside. I'm really happy with it, after visiting john's website a year ago it was always a dream to own one.

Holy crap that thing is clean!

Goodluck with your new game!!!

Edit**
Just by looking at that other thread, you could have some other games too! You have an RP2C04-0002 (Slalom) and RP2C04-0003 (Goonies). By just switching out the program chips you can also play the following games:
RP2C04-0002 6 Vs. Mach Rider (Endurance Course) (MDS-MR)
RP2C04-0002 6 Vs. Golf (MDS-GF)
RP2C04-0003 6 Vs. Soccer (MDS-SC)
RP2C04-0003 6 Vs. Excite Bike (MDS-EB)

I am sure you will now be prowling the for sale threads and eBay for chipsets and PPUs like the rest of us. Welcome to the addiction! :)

Thanks, got 2 quick questions that I'm sure you guys can help me with.

1.Is it possible to play Wrecking Crew on just one site (with 6 roms), I only got one RP2C04-0002 PPU.
Edit* just saw the post above, so I guess not.

2.The colours on one monitor are a little bit off, if there is movement there is some yellow next to the moving object that shouldn't be there.
Do I need a cap kit? That would be kinda strange because the other monitor is working perfect and the 'bad' one has just 1426 plays on the counter.

Hope you can help me, thanks!
 
Well answer to question #1. No, it is not possible to play wrecking crew on only one side. BUT, you can put it on both sides, and only play it on the side that has the correct PPU. It will play on the side with the 0003 PPU, bu the color pallet will be way off.

Question #2, i am sure a cap kit wouldn't hurt. Just because it didn't have alot of plays does not mean it didn't sit turned on for a long time.
 
thanks for the answers.
I guess I'll order golf from hobbyroms. I'll also try to switch the goonies board with the slalom roms, maybe there is a problem with the slalom eroms and is the monitor okay.

too bad the ppu are a bit hard to find/ expensive. there are so many great games on the system i used to play on the NES when i was younger.
 
Well, a fast answer to that would be if you swap the games and it happens to goonies too.
 
Man, that is the nicest red tent I've ever seen. Sweet.

To answer your question about colors being off, did you try the manual degauss button? It's the red button next to all the monitor adjustments below the monitor.

I have had the same problem with one of my monitors, but I can clear it up with the degauss button. It could just be where your red tent is sitting. Not entirely sure though.

If you want, I could add you to the registry. Feel free to PM me your info. Congrats on the pick up! :)

So this one is different from the NOS one? Damn, those are both in good shape. I didn't read all the threads, but what did you guys pay for these out there?

Notice the CPOs dont have the Japanese writing either? Pretty neat.
 
@ eseyo1
the manual degauss button didn't help. I just tried to adjust the colors by turning the red blue and green gain knobs, the yellow is almost away but it messed up some other colors a little bit. So I guess it needs a cab kit? Still finding it strange because the other monitor is fine. You could sign me up, i'll send you a pm.

@ Jow
Yes this one is different but from the same seller, It wasn't cheap but here in Europe these things are pretty rare, same goes for the upright nintendo cabs. You can't really compare prices, a Donkey kong will cost you minimal $700,-
