I forst posted this thread in the sales forum, but found out that it maybe was the wrong place to ask for a valuation - so I'll post it here also.

If an admin sees this, the other post can be closed.

I've got an Sega Tapper PCB, that I would like to know the value of. I'm having trouble finding some refference sales on the forum and with my google searches.

A picture of the 3-layered board can be seen here:

Does anyone have an idea about a price for a board like this? Haven't had a chance to test it yet, because I don't have a connector for it. Is this the Suntory version of Tapper maybe?

Any help would be appreciated.
 
I will have to make up a connector in the next few days and see if it powers up - and what awaits me if it does.

I think I underestimated my price for as is, but yes, you'll be happier with what you get if you verify what it is and that it works.
 
Could anyone with Sega knowledge tell me if the above mentioned pinout sounds okay? Then I'll try making a converter for the PCB tomorrow night.
 
Okay, made a crude Sega tapper -> JAMMA converter that gives my video of the game - but not totally clear because of my not so great soldering job. But it is indeed working and a Suntory version.

Will have to buy some stuff to make a decent converter - but I'm glad that it's alive and kicking.

Any valuations as of now?
 
Rarity doesn't necessarily mean it's worth a fortune, but I'm under the impression that Suntory Tapper boardsets are pretty damn rare bootlegs. Anyone else know?
 
I was curious so I checked finished items on eBay, nothing. If you're trying to milk every single penny you can get out of it, just throw it up on eBay and see what happens.

I don't think they're bootlegs. Sega and Bally/Midway had licensing deals around that time (Bank Panic, the 6-pack games, etc.).

One sold on Yahoo Japan auctions a couple of years ago, sadly I don't remember the total. I want to say around 200 US dollars or thereabouts (to a Japanese bidder of course :))
 
I'm just looking for a fair deal, but not being able to get any sales to compare with makes me unshure how to price it. Had a lot of PMs regarding the game - so the interest is definitely there.
