Battlezone ROMs and Star Wars Multikit wanted

Recommended Posts

I am in the process of restoring a Battlezone, and after I finally located all the boards and stuff I needed on eBay, and put it all together, I discovered that the board set that bought from this seller (with a good feedback rating, nonetheless), that he said was "complete" is actually missing a couple ROM chips and the tiiming crystal. The chips are the ones located at locations 036419 and 036418. I tried e-mailing the seller, but it says that he's no longer a registered user, and I actually bought the boards 2 months ago, so I don't have high hopes that he'll help me. Is there anybody who knows where I can get these missing ROMS or has a complete set? I checked with arcadeshop.com, and they charge $15 to custom program each chip. I could've sworn I saw recently on eBay somebody that was selling the complete set of chips cheap- newly programmed. Is there anybody else who might have a complete set or the missing ROMs that I need?

 

Also- I finally got my monitor in my Empire Strikes Back cockpit working with a new capkit, and now I'm ready to order the multikit from Clay Cowgill ( www.multigame.com/ESB.HTM ) . However, he e-mailed me back and said that he's sold out and doesn't know when or if he'll get get the parts in again to make them. Does anybody else know where I can get this?

Hobbyroms.com is more reasonable.

 

You're probably out of luck on the starwars kits. Clay likes to wait and let demand build up before he does another run so he sells a bunch at once. I think he just ran out last month so it could be a while.
