WTB: *WORKING* Sanyo EZ Chassis (ad a free sob story)

Short, to the point story:

I'm looking for a Sanyo EZ Chassis. It MUST be working because I have enough of them that do not :) Please msg me if you have one you would like to part with and what you would like for it.


Long sob story:

Months ago I bought a Donkey Kong Jr machine. When I first went to see it, the monitor wasn't working but came on... Didn't seem too bad but I didn't want a project machine so I told the guy I wasn't really interested because I didn't want a project at the time, a few days later the guy called me and said he really just wants to get rid of it, what's the most I would pay as it is. I said $50. He said what about $75? I said sure, figured, what the heck it's a great price even if it needs a whole new monitor but figured it was something I could fix anyhow with some help from KLOV.

When I first looked at it the guy was saying maybe the power was bad in the cab and he should try plugging it into the wall. I said I wasn't sure but thought it was a bad idea. After I picked it up and tried it, the monitor was totally dead, not like it was before so I figured that's what he did. I posted on here, was told, yes if that's what he did it was really in bad shape. I ordered a bunch of stuff, replaced tons of stuff, never got it going. I decided to throw in the towel on it, I don't really have a lot of time to work on arcade games and it was eating all my time up.

I posted looking for a working chassis and bought one for $60 that was "working but needs a cap kit". It was missing the b+ pot but I had a dead one to take parts off of for the pot.

A cap kit did not fix it as detailed on this thread:

There was more wrong with it than a cap kit. I fooled around with it for a few more days as I said before I don't have a real lot of time for that, I run a store mostly by myself and I fall behind.. etc.

So I decided to take the $60 loss on my great "working but needs a cap kit" chassis, suck it up and ask if anyone else has one for sale. The seller says I still got a great deal and he's cool with not refunding. That's his deal I guess, whatever. I've mostly dealt with great sellers who ship right away and sell things exactly as described on here so I'm not going to let it spoil the whole thing for me. Just because a person says something works when it does not and takes 11 days to ship... Well, I told myself I wasn't going to get into it publicly :)

Please be kind with a price, I have too much invested in a non-working monitor as it is. I know, I got the machine cheap in the first place, but a great deal is turning into a mediocre one.

I'll even put this thing as trade towards it if you are more handy and have more time than myself. I am not going to say "I'm sure it'll work with an easy fix" because I have no idea what the deal is. I can't find any bad solder, I triple checked the caps.. I can't find anything wrong with it. All I know is being in business for yourself and being the sole employee I know when to call it quits on something. :/

Wow, what a boring story. heh.
