Not working for me, takes me to Discord but to a blank page that says "no text channels" ...

Kind of hard to replicate the true Vectrex experience without a screen 😉 They could attempt it with an LCD with some effects like 1Up did on their vector game cabs, but now you're adding to the cost.

Who owned / owns a Bally Arcade?
128Kgames replied to OldSchoolRetroGamer's topic in Bally Arcade/Astrocade
I probably should have asked "what do you consider "reasonable"." I completely agree with your assessment, problem is a lot of people have no clue what these systems are going for or more importantly what they should be going for. When prices first started to climb a lot of people just didn't get it. Honestly though the ones that aren't tested or people refuse to test I always chalk up to "not working" from experience. Occasionally you do get lucky but I stopped actively collecting the consoles years ago after getting each model / variant and then backups of each, then backups of backups. As far as Allen's auctions its not only what he includes in them but more so the fact that its working and most likely he's refurbished it (I actually told him years ago he was charging too little for his auctions!). -

Not sure the last time you priced them but they've been soaring. Common models like the Professional Arcade or the Computer System model 100% working can run anywhere from $250 - $500 easy. Even "broken" models with their chips intact can bring in decent money as their chips (if working) can be used to restore Bally arcade boards like Gorf etc. If its a Home Library Computer, White Montgomery Ward Professional Arcade, or an actual branded Astrocade, the skies the limit, easily $750 or more. -
Cheap Heatsinks for Astrocade Custom ICs

FYI if you want to glue heatsinks on and retain thermal conductivity try using Thermally Conductive Epoxies Allen 😉 -
I think they consider the dust "patina" 🤣

As long as its internal for the Bally and 100% functional a Bally / Coleco board doesn't bother me. I see it as a win win for both consoles. I did an internal mod on my Astrocade years ago with the 8bitDomain S-VIDEO board which I'd switch out for something like this, and hopefully run the cables the same way without cutting like I did for the S-VIDEO board. To me it looked real smooth and the fact that I didnt have to cut the console was a plus (I hate modding the cases with holes on vintage machines). https://ballyalley.com/pics/hardware_pics/s-video_mod/mike_di_salvo_pics/mike_di_salvo_pics.html

I had a Bally Computer System model in the 80's right before it relaunched as the Astrocade. Now I've got too many but they include the Home Library Computer, Professional Arcade (regular, Montgomery Ward regular, and Montgomery Ward White), Computer System and Astrocade models. -
Oh wow, no PayPal? What are they accepting then? Yeah I'd need PaPal myself if I decide to buy a copy.

Re: Cyborg Force Really wish they'd offer a shockbox with artwork for the regular MVS copy or make another option package (also, it would be nice to see which "softcase" they plan to use and if the art is different than the AES versions). Honestly I dont need a shirt that wont fit (who wears a large to begin with? let alone a Euro size which is more likes a US medium) nor do I need the other extras. But I like a box and artwork to put an MVS copy in.

Damn, you had to post this right before Christmas? 🤣 I'll have to look into this, it looks interesting 👍
