Please clarify for Paul Gilbert/Chuck Fitch - Rainbow Cable for DK - Yes or No?
Hi all,
As I'm positively sure Chuck/Paul reads these threads. Will someone please do me the honor of confirming with me via this thread that not all Donkey Kongs require the rainbow cable.
I sold to Chuck a working DK boardset mounted to the metal mounting plate pulled directly out of my original blue DK cabinet on Ebay. The cabinet was all original, original nintendo power supply, no hacks, no mods. Just like it came from the factory. I sold the board as I decided to gut my game and convert it to a 60 in 1 Multicade.
Chuck swears to me up and down in his rambling e-mails.
A. The rainbow cable wasn't included and that's why it doesn't work.
(I never showed a picture in my listing of the rainbow cable, never mentioned it was included in the listing. But he says it should have been included?) Where does not showing something in a listing or even mentioning it constitute it should be included in the auction. I guess he was to assume he was to get the entire power supply assembly too as that is also necessary in making the game work???
B. He also states that there is no way I could have proved it was working without the rainbow cable. How is that so. I took 2 screen shots of the board working in the cabinet. Unplugged the board and then took 2 pics of the boardset moments after pulling it from the cabinet.
C. Correct me if I'm wrong some DK's do NOT use the rainbow cable, right?
I think he's just trying to blow smoke to look like he has a justifiable reason to say it wasn't working. I know damn well that board worked. He tried sending me a youtube video of the screen rolling on his test jig saying the boards was F'd up.....I want my money back.
I've been buying, selling and trading with many of the fine folks in the pinball/arcade collecting community online for well over 14 years now...and I have never had to deal with a guy like this before. But then again, you always here there are people like this out there. I guess it's my right of passage for finally having to deal with a loser.
