I've got a complete non-working 720 for sale. The price is $400.
Here's the backstory:
I bought this from another KLOV member for $400. It was supposed to be working blind. I took the monitor to P&L and had them fix it, brought it back and plugged it in and got nothing. I tested all the EPROMs on the PCBs and found that 8 of them were corrupted (it must have been awhile between the time the monitor went out and the time the seller sold it to me - stuff goes bad). I burned replacements for the bad EPROMS & tried again. Still nothing.
Then someone else listed a WORKING 720 local to me, so I bought it. I was thinking I could use the working one to help me diagnose the project game, but I've been too lazy to do that yet.
So that's the deal - 720 with a working monitor & non working boards (or maybe something has gone wrong with the harness & the boards are now fine... haven't investigated that possibility yet). $400. Since I also paid to have the monitor repaired and bought some replacement EPROMS, you're getting it for LESS than I've put into it.
You know you'll never get a working 720 for anywhere close to that, and if I have to go to all the trouble to fix it, it's going to sell for at least $600. So if you're clever with PCB's, here's your chance to get a cheap 720.
If you'd like, when you come to get it, we can spend a few hours using the working machine to help diagnose the problem with the non-working machine (e.g. put the working boards in the non-working game to validate the harness... try the working video board with the non-working? CPU board and vice versa).
If I don't get any takers, I'll eventually get it working and sell it, but I just thought I'd save myself the hours of debugging and give someone here a chance for a bargain.
I'll post some pictures of it tonight.
pm me if you're interested.
