    Default Does anyone have computer parts to trade for my VG parts?

    Finally got back on the net (lost access while moving).
    What I need are computer parts to build a MAME cab. I'll trade for anything that helps me build a mame cab. Obviously I have the controls and cabinets. I just need the computer parts. I'll post what I have found here (and yes I know the list could be more in-depth, but I have been super busy).
    But If you too are building a MAME cab/and or controllers and you have extra computer parts ,well, you and I will get along famously. Just don't ask for a spinner-I need one of those, too.
    I will also consider trades for classic game stuff

    First of all, this is a barn find-so none of this is mint, but I'll be honest in the description and provide pics when asked.
    Here is my list:

    -2 Time Pilots-one working, one missing a sound card(?)
    -2 Mr Do's Castle Both complete
    -Do run Run Conversion (all Do Run Run's were conversions) in a Ladybug(?) cab
    -Mat Mania-untested but complete
    -zaxxon -complete minus control panel (sold that on Ebay way too cheap)
    -pole position-not much left[Ebay]
    -Gun.Smoke (probably not letting this one go)
    -American Horshoes (complete w/ working JAMMMA PCB and trackball)
    -Gorf -getting stripped, not much left-I want to use it for a MAME cab
    -Yie ar Kung Fu-got working the other day and promised it to my brother
    -Demon -may be ladybug-complete, but no cab
    -Rally-x-no PCB/Monitor
    -Stunt Cycle-no PCB/controls [Ebay]
    -The Double-some kind of card game, no PCB
    -Super Basketball (in a stern cab) untested/complete
    -Capcom Bowling (in a Super Pac cab)complete w/trackball controller
    -Bloxeed-Jamma/crisp monitor-tested
    -Break Thru (jamma-tested) in a Joust cab, I believe
    -An unknown bar-type game-has those big rectangular lighted buttons
    -Another unknown-some type of wrestling game in a Zaxxon Cab-untested
    -Karate Champ-untested. Says"2-player version" but only has two joysticks.
    Shouldn't there be four?
    I'm missing something here. I'll figure it out as I go along.

    I will send first to those with good references. What I don't get rid of soon will go on Ebay. So you might want to check my auctions at times (I just gave away a perfectly working Zaxxon Control panel with working controls for $8, so I am going to try the trade route along with Ebay to clear up room without giving everything away.

    BTW, If you live near Arkansas, I might have a MAME cab for you. I would imagine they aren't worth shipping if you have any carpentry skills.

    One more thing....
    I use a Photobucket account to host images when people ask for them.
    This is just a jumble of pics (70+ usually) if you want to look at what I've posted at the moment.
    Here is that link.

    Really, I'm not trying to bump this.

    I have had a few inquiries on another forum about selling the lot complete.

    If you live in Arkansas, Oklahoma, or someplace close to me (Russellville is right on I-40) I would be willing to sell the whole lot cheap. Minus Yie-ar Kung Fu, maybe Gun.Smoke and Rally-X (deal Pending on that one) .

    If you don't mind rewiring by schematics, I'll sell the whole lot cheap.. I don't know how cheap, as I'm just learning the market. But there are many parts,restorable cabs,monitors,etc. (largley untested, but I've had great luck getting them to work with limited wiring skills)

    I've always believed that the person offering should set the price, but I'm lost on that one. I've already made a couple hundred off Ebay from just a few parts-(can offer proof if necessary). And I haven't even started selling my tested PCB's yet. This would be a great investment for someone (including me, so far). with good wiring skillls (I have none). I have the schematics downloaded for most of them already. Whether I rewire them or part them out, I still stand to make a decent amount of money. But if you already have these skills than this is a killer deal, I think.

    Post your offers here, you won't insult me.
    I fit 18 on a flatbed trailer and two in the back of a truck. You can do the same. So if you are close enough to pick these up (and I help load) and have the cash and skill....well,I think that is a hell of a deal.

    Damn. Fate just loves to tempt me with a Do Run Run that's only an hour away. When I'm dead broke.

    Man, I hope you get what these puppies are really worth!

    I really have to give that game another try. Everyone asks about this game. I've even recieved an E-mail from selling parts on E-bay as to what kind of parts I have for it. I never even mentioned the game. And two people seem interested in the KLOV forum (one from right here in AR).
    It is starting to look Like it would be worth more to convert it back to ladybug (I think I have the PCB) and part out the DRR.
