I believe its a QIX

you got these for free?

Absolutely, did the guy a favour by taking them off his hands They would have been dumped otherwise.

Maybe a different version ?

Yeah, I have the three board version of Qix with cabinet, manual and everything. Qix is from 1981 and doesn't have any edge connectors. So if it's a genuine TAITO board I don't really think it's Qix at all.

But damned what a find, I'm quite envious, the dealers here sells broken boards.

Space invaders is TVN00004

<a href="http://arcadecollecting.xmission.com/pcbpics/p1207.html" target="_blank">http://arcadecollecting.xmission.com/pcbpics/p1207.html</a>

This is SGN00004, looks like the top board is an add on,its hard wired to the main board, but they are both original Taito boards ???

Oh Man that's awesome..Whew,..it really pays to know people sometimes..

Sweeeeet...ttooddddyy..

Man that candy store you go is something else.

How many boards do you have now?

doesnt even appear to have a cPU onboard, so pretty early game. Dang, you scored nicely.

As a small note, the squawk and talk is a Bally sound board used for their pinball machines. fathom, , medusa, 8 ball deluxe, centaur are representative of that board.

If you happen to come across any Midway Wolf unit boards(MK3, Rampage World Tour etc.) that you can't get to work, could you send it to me? I need a RAM chip to fix a board I have, and I can't find one online anywhere.

So... where do you store all of these things?

Do you dump the ROMs for games you get, or are you against that?

I have sent boardsets to mame dev for dumping in the past. I think there maybe some here that would be of interest.

I also have a Wrestlefest board with some gfx problems, mostly all the colors are messed up, other than that the game plays and sounds perfect. What type of problem do you have with it?

oh_no Some people have all the luck.

happy for you though, great find man !

Seems you'll have a nice part of gaming history ready to be played like it was meant right in your own room !

Just hit all the salvage/junk yards with in 100miles of where you live. It’s pretty common to find whole arcades dumped in junkyards these days. I actually just spent this last weekend savaging a junkyard with my friend. We brought home a full street fighter 3 third strike cab that had quite a few cosmetic problems but works just fine now ^_^. You will turn up lots of junk, junk boards, and just crappy games. However, the amount of people who actually do search junk yards for arcade PCB's is so slim that your almost guaranteed to hit a jack pot or two, and with arcades going out of business right and left these days this is a very popular past time for me and my friends, almost like going on a really really cool Easter egg hunt !

No, my board is different, and as far as I know it is original. What happens is that all the colors are wrong, for example Hulk Hogan is bright yellow. If I move the board while playing sometimes the colors change a bit, and once I even managed to get the correct colours for some seconds.
