I'm really liking it, it's pretty clean but it's missing the PCB. Supposedly I should be able to get the PCB, plug it in and play

Just wondering if anyone knows where I could get the PCB? it looks like I missed one on ebay june 14th..but I don't know how often these come up for sale

also the bezel shroud is cracked and missing a piece at the top, it looks like I can rebuild it with fiberglass but I didn't know if there was somewhere I could grab one not cracked at a decent price. Someone wants $300 + for theirs on eBay...which is way way way more than i want to spend

I don't want to throw a lot of money at this, maybe some new decals and some cleaning up after I get it going again. But I am tickled to death with it...I played one like this quit a bit as a kid

 
I just picked up a working one just last month (all of these), kind of weird we have AB and Outrun (mines a Turbo) next to each other. I have been looking one Ebay if there were any parts and they want stupid money for anything on them. What is an Afterburner worth, not much I am assuming?

Yours are in a lot better shape than mine lol

Not sure on these eBay sellers and why they are asking 3x the price on parts, but the machines probably aren't worth a lot. maybe $700-800 in clean working condition?
 
The pcb's are expensive they go for around $300. I looked for awhile for one finally got one for $275 that supposedly just needed new roms which turned out not to be true. You might get lucky on eBay but most of those are untested. I think they are harder to find because nobody was converting those cabs into other games like they were doing with pretty much everything else.

I'm selling a bunch of parts for an upright now really cheap. The PCB goes for insane money compared to the game. It reminds me of how much Battle Zone PCB's go compared to the game.

Ouch .....what would one assume to pay for one "untested", I hate taking a gambled and would have to be prepared to have it fixed.

assuming that I can even find anyone that can fix these boards
