I know this is a REAL longshot!

Does anybody have a cp, marquee, boardset? This is next in the queue after the Space Dungeon project. So trying to gather the pieces little by little....
 
Bump for ya. I search the web everyday for these parts with no luck. I almost bid, and should have, on the one that popped up on ebay a year or so ago. I think it went for $1100 or so. Good luck on it and definetly post pics of the Space Dungeon project.
 
Nope went for 660 or so.

Geez I was positive I saw one aside from that one, which I think was in Arkansas, go for $1100. Maybe it was not on ebay. I can't remember now.



There was one on ebay about a year ago, very very nice condition and complete except It didn't have a monitor.

I bid on It with the intention of shipping It here to Australia, but was out bid.

I'm pretty sure It sold for $880


It's definitely one of the better looking TAITOS .....colour scheme and art wise I think.


And BUMP for the OP

John, that was you.... I did talk to the seller a couple of times, and he did say a fella was interested from Australia.

Yeah...that must of been me. I couldn't justify bidding more than the $560 that I bid on It...had I won It at that price, It would have cost me close to 3k landed here in AU. The seller was very friendly and helpful from the communications I had with him. Whoever got It got a nice clean machine....although non working.


Good luck in your search for these parts guys, you going to have your work cut out on this one I think!


I'm pretty sure that Anthony at Quarter arcade has a working one.

John, were you buying the whole cab or just parts? I got the impression from the seller that he was parting it out to a fella from Australia...

I know it non-working and sans a monitor didn't deter me from bidding high. Damn you Jeff!:D I won't let another one slip through my fingers!
 
Nice, did It work after you put a monitor in It, or was there other issues with It??

Main board had acid damage and coin pros board was bad. I put in a GO7 and Tim burned me a chip and shes working great.

Rick told me that John only wanted the parts and no cab.

Yes that is true, I asked Rick If for a few extra $$ + postage (ontop of the winning price) he would strip and pack all the parts for me and send them, he said he would. ( I would have put all the parts in a new cab)

I then contacted Todd Tuckey to see If he was interested in having It delivered to his place to fit a monitor and do any other necessary repairs...Todd was happy to do that but warned me that the board might be the problem ( which I knew could be the case)

Long story short...I would have went the Todd Tuckey route had I won the machine...hence the 3k cost to me. Todd had shipped me a ZK maybe 6-8 months previously...so I knew he was familiar with international shipping rules.


I'm glad the game is working for you caddysrule, I have often wondered if the buyer had any luck with It. I'll always consider that one to be "the one that got away" but as I said...could not justify more than a 3k spend on It.
