ARCZero

I found a plastic enclosure that worked out well for a case. Here's the link from eBay and a picture follows. https://www.ebay.com/itm/124389463656 The control works really well. I tested it with Arkanoid, Tempest, Peggle, Super Breakout, and a few others. However, I now have three spinners and would be open to trading or selling it. Hit me up if anyone is interested. I'd trade or sell it for the cost of the spinner + shipping. Thanks!

I recently purchased a CIB Caltron 6-in-1, previously only owning a loose copy so now I have two carts. I noticed that they're different in the following ways: Cart 1 has a blue back sticker with different "Engrish" than Cart 2 which has a black back sticker Cart 1 has a nonstandard board with EEPROMs versus standard ROM chips in Cart 2 Otherwise the front sticker and plastic case are identical, so I don't think that this is a bootleg of an unlicensed game. I've Googled and couldn't find any info on variants. Attached are pics. What do you all think? Is it possible that the first cart is a sample or earlier release? I didn't notice any difference in the game play when playing them. I realize that EEPROMs are not supposed to be exposed to light, but didn't know that the EEPROM windows weren't covered with tape. I played the EEPROM game no problem after screwing the case back together. Thanks!

Please add me to the interested list thanks!

I'd like to pre-order 2.... thanks!

I'm in for one

Great seller! I bought a couple Dreamcast games. He shipped them quickly and they arrived in perfect shape. Thanks!

I also bought a CDI --> SNES controller adapter and it was a smooth transaction! The adapter works great. I highly recommend tpugmire.

I had a great transaction with Blazing Lazers, item was shipped well and quickly, was great to deal with!!

I had an interesting pick-up this weekend - I paid $100 for 13 arcade marquees. I also got an old deck of Nintendo playing cards (I'm guessing from the 70's) for $1. Check it out!

I bought a couple Dreamcast games and they arrived quickly in very good condition. I highly recommend CubeOfTheDead :thumbsup:

Bought a game from legeek, was in great shape for a good price, quick shipping. Thumbs up!

Awesome, I just ordered one!

I purchased two homebrew Colecovision games from Bradd. They were packaged well, shipped expediently, and in perfect condition. The price was reasonable also. I highly recommend Bradd!

Let's see.. Warhammer 30K long box for the PS1 at the swap meet for $10. I previously bought the jewel case version and found it wasn't worth much, Later I found out that the long box version was never commercially released and probably originated from an electronics show display in Las Vegas I have been collecting retro since the late 90s and just focused on a few systems (NES, 5200)... I probably missed a ton of great SNES and other games because my focus was so narrow. As others have posted I could have bought crazy rare expensive games back in the day for not so crazy money, which I thought was too much at the time When I was 12 or 13 I decided to stop collecting Star Wars figures and spend my money on video games instead. I remember seeing displays of the last and most rare Star Wars POTF figures for $2 each on clearance, and passing them up. The one figure I bought I opened up With all these negatives there are many positives, such as the rare NES Flintstones game for $5, Cheetahmen II new for $100, and Game and Watch Egg for $1

Thanks for the feedback SoundGammon. I re-seated all the chips without any luck. I inspected the motherboard for any visually corrupt components and didn't see any. I also swapped around identical chips without any difference in behavior. So it's either something on the main board (corrupted chip, capacitor, or something else) or the video mod. I'm pretty sure I need to replace the motherboard or the mod. I'll be looking for deals an eventually do one or the other or both.
