Picked up a nice Rtype cabinet that came with an Rtype and Rtype Leo board. Both busted, can't get working.

Looking to purchase either an Rtype, Rtype II, or Rtype Leo board. Would also be willing to send my boards out for repair if someone knows of anyone who repairs said boards.
 
You may want to find someone to FX them, they are getting up in the $300 range these days

Trouble is finding someone who can work on Irem PCB's. Often the custom IC's fail. Unless you have a spare M72 or M92 boardset to take parts from, repairs are very hit and miss. Just my 2-cents as a repairer who's worked on Irem boards in the past.
 
Shortly I will post on JAMMArcade.net a detailed repair log of an original R-Type PCB.It's possible to fix them but most of time it's a long job since hardware is old and stressed.In my case I had to replace many TTL (especially on bottom video board) and a custom always on video board.Now it plays great.

P.S.
I have repaired other R-Type PCBs in the past, this a proof they can be fixed with some patience and skills (and spare parts, obviously...)
 
I recommend selling those two boards to someone else, listed not-working as-is of course, and then using the money to buy one working board. People will pay well for those two boards, even if they are not working. Somebody out there needs the parts and/or want to take a crack at fixing them.

Of course, you will have to wait to find a seller of a working one.

I had a couple broken higher-value boards once and made a deal that if the repair person succeeded in fixing one, he could keep the other. That worked out for me. I shipped him both and in a couple of weeks, I got a repaired board and the guy who fixed it ended up repairing the one he kept, as well. Win-win.

OK, let me know if you want me to repair your R-Type Leo (and R-Type too, if you want), I have some M92 working boards as testing platform.You can read my repair logs on the site on the my signature below.
 
Great Feedback!

Thanks for all of the awesome feedback guys! Have a few good offers in my inbox - need to sort through everything and see what the best options are.
