Re: I may need board work done- recommendations?

So the U-20 in Sorcerer is ROM 8Kx8 type 2764. Part number A-5343-10764. The ROMS in my sorcerer were new from K's Arcade. I attached a pic from my manual just in case. -Ran I have 2764s... I can burn you a new one. I will pull the old ones out first though and put them in my programmer to verify t...

Re: I may need board work done- recommendations?

OOPS... I was thinking Sorcerer was a System 7 for some reason.... It is a System 9.... I can definitely help you out. I just brought back an acid damaged System 8 from the dead (5 bad caps and three traces eaten away by Acid Damage) and a System 11 CPU that someone had flipped the coin door harness...

Re: I may need board work done- recommendations?

I saw your post on RGP (responded there too)... I don't have any System 7s to verify function, but we can certainly socket a new U20 in pretty quick...I may even have the right IC too...just let me know what it is...

Re: What is a NOS WCS pf worth?

Looks like if I am a seller a NOS WCS playfield is worth- $502.48 (after fees).... Like I said previously, 30-40% of machine value is a pretty good rule of thumb for NOS playfields....(at least what I have seen the last 10 years or so)..... That number used to be closer to 20-25%, but as playfields ...

Re: What is a NOS WCS pf worth?

Tim, That's an interesting way to look at it. What amazes me is you can take a desired game, like Centaur - throw a 1K pf in it and it increases in value by double that amount. I might exaggerating a bit, but at least it seems that way to me on a few games. That is because there aren't a ton of Cen...

Re: What is a NOS WCS pf worth?

Whatever you are willing to pay.... 8-) I usually use a percentage of the machines overall value to determine playfield value. Usually 30-40% of the machines value is where I place the value of an unblemished NOS playfield...I know 30-40% may seem high to some people, but the playfield is the single...

Re: Schedule

So do we want to kick this thing off in August? If so, when does everyone think would be good? I would like to have a somewhat static/flexible schedule that we could setup like three months at a time. I am not committed to just one particular night (like a Saturday only league), and there are poll o...
