Official 'COOL ITEM ON EBAY!' thread...

Eh, it probably works. The cartridges on the AV suck, and you if you don't have them _perfectly_ placed, you get the exact results he's talking about. If the mirror is spinning, and throwing up solid or dotted red lines, it's working good enough that it's fixable... I've seen some that only work with the cart delicately placed a certain way, and if you touch it during game play it dies. Cool

It's just a flimsy system...

Usually repeated re-inserting of the cart will eventually give good results, so it's possible there is a problem with it (even the cartridge could be bad I suppose), but it's promising that it does something. The hard-to-replace things seem to be working (motor and LED board), most of the remaining circuitry is easily replaceable if need be... There's a RAM chip on there too, never had to replace one, but that could have gone bad as well...

It's very clean looking though. No excessive paint wear on the control panel area (a little discoloration on the marquee though), the console seems nice and white (I see these yellowed a lot), battery cover present and new-looking battery compartment. I assume the side cover is there too, he doesn't show that side. Just for all that alone I'd be tempted to get it and swap the guts from my ugly system... Rolling Eyes

(Not worth $650+ to me for that though...)

Tiger Galaxx for $300:

Not a bad price for this (little less than I paid for mine...)

this was at $10 until the last minute. i thought i was going to win with $30 but with 5 seconds left it jumped to almost $200

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/221136698143

i'm guessing it's the Entex game that made it jump so high, i know it wasn't the Tiger Bo Jackson, and the other thing (TI Dataman) just looks like a calculator.

I'd spotted it also, had it added to my watch list, brought the auction up with 10 minutes to go, then walked out to make a coffee only to find I'd spent more than 10 minutes making coffee. Dohhh!
