Have an original After Burner board set for sale, that was tested last week and is mostly working. A friend of mine in CT tested it for me & had this to report:

The game comes up, has sound and voice, and can be played. This is a good thing, because if the control interface chip was dead, you couldn't play it. The bad news is minor.

One issue is that some of the graphics have small horizontal lines going through them. This can usually be cured by reseating & cleaning the PROM legs. If this doesn't work, the bad PROM would have to be isolated and reburned. Each of these PROM chips in Sega games like Afterburner, Outrun, Hang-On, etc. control specific things like backgrounds, trees, vehicles, etc. So if there is a bad PROM it can be figured out which one is bad.

The other issue I'm not sure of. It says "FREE PLAY" on the lower left corner, but the games still wants to be coined up before you play it. ???? I'm not sure if there is a problem with the dipswitch or a chip that needs to be reseated.

I just put the boardset through its internal memory tests and all the rams & roms came back OK. It's just the PROMs.

I can send pics of the boards, interface harnesses and some videos my friend created to show the symptoms and the memory IC test screen.

Since these are not working 100%, price is $110. shipped in the US. I think these go for $200. completely working and it may be a good deal to someone that wants to reseat & clean chip legs or reburn chips. Email me directly at [email protected] if interested.

Thanks,
