Hi all,
Glad to be finally posting here instead of just reading in the wings.
I have access to a very nice Williams Blaster cab which is completely empty of it's boards, power, monitor etc.
I'd really like to bring it all together by using original PCB's. I know that the game is reasonably rare and the boards themselves can be a hard find due to their individual nature and not being used in other machines (CPU and ROM boards).
That being said, I am in it for the long haul, I want the challenge of creating something true to it's origins rather than using multi-boards, Jamma etc etc. I know it's not very practical or economical but that really isn't what the hobby is about for me.
I'm a reasonably new collector and I build my own cabs too, finding this hobby is allowing me, like many to return to my childhood and ressurect some great memories, and hopefully some great cabs along the way.
I'd appreciate any useful help that will point me in the correct direction to pursue my goal.
Currently I am actively scanning eBay and CL, I have active accounts over at BYOAC and CoinOpSPace where I am asking around and learning as much as I can.
Many thanks for any help you can give.
Joel
