can only add that back in the day a NOS Capcom board set would cost twice as much as buying another machine for a donor and making two, it was also the same with the ToM gold I made

Well I did buy it working, it worked for 10 minutes

. I'm still great friends with the seller, it was a fair price, I have no complaints and they tried there best to get it going, it was an absolute**"*. I got it working panicked and traded it for a LOTR, doubting my work, it worked flawlessly except for some weird thing I never fixed to do with the ball save light, which the buyer noticed and fixed straight away, for the new owner for a number of years. The thing I haven't learnt yet are boards, I'm reluctant to try practice on stuff that you can't replace 
Thanks, my philosophy now is if you fixed a sttng most machines are easy
Wow, it's amazing how things change. I suppose it's a supply and demand thing, if you just read this forum you would think there's a warehouse full of demand for some part, but the reality its maybe 2 or 3 people in the UK that need it., even then they probably change there mindcan only add that back in the day a NOS Capcom board set would cost twice as much as buying another machine for a donor and making two, it was also the same with the ToM gold I made

I Can vouch for that ……I lived in Pembroke national park for 10 yrs
Everyone said “Oooh it’s so green, aren’t you lucky”
They never asked why it was green though

I did forget to add and the most important thing i couldn't have fixed it without the generosity of people here pointing me in the right direction and providing me with their experience and expertise otherwise I would have had no chanceWell I did buy it working, it worked for 10 minutes

No I think it’s a global market thing in that no one in China thought of making a display or board components for pence back then and that has bought the price of the electronics down
The internet wasn’t really anything until the mid/late 2000’s
But if you like ‘proper’ machines (cue flame suit on
) Paul was asking for Transporter the Rescue sys 11 1989…….I’ve had one with a production run of 850 worldwide so how many space craft mouldings do you think were made as spares ? (I’ve got one if needed NOS) That’s why it was cheaper to buy a donor and make a really good one for yourself and dump the other to cover your cost of the venture and break even

Outside of big bang, is there any capcom games that are any good? street fighter from memory a long time ago was rubbish
That makes sense, regarding doner machines. Wondering if that still a possibility?No I think it’s a global market thing in that no one in China thought of making a display or board components for pence back then and that has bought the price of the electronics down

Perhaps it's time to steal that data east batman cabinet my mate has and the parts the other had and get it back going for £5k
it will need a new playfield and ramps

Yes it’s still possible but now your playing with 000’s we were playing with time and effort and camaraderieThat makes sense, regarding doner machines. Wondering if that still a possibility?

Data East Batman as an example say I would have gave you mebbe £350 for tidy one with smashed plastics and decal wear and paid £200 for one that kids had carved their name into the cab art
Bit of work shed loads of driving and mates help
and one £1200 and one £150 but Batman is **** so I wouldn’t have

Mostly EMs, I’d say. There are loads of EMs in appalling condition on eBay.From what I’ve seen machines are still being found in revolting condition
MM
The Bally-Williams era games are now valuable because they have loads of mechs and are really solid compared to modern Spike 2 Sterns.
The 80s machines seem to be stuck in storage - not bad enough condition to be scrapped, but not desirable enough to be restored, I think. I felt lucky to get a project Alien Poker (which I’m doing a cab restore and playfield swap on, super slowly, with no workshop and two young kids!) I had a period, as a n00b, where I got maddeningly frustrated by the lack of 80s pins coming onto the market. Obviously a lot of them warehoused, but nothing for sale.
