**** EDIT**** Thanks for the interest. We are needing to leave TPF early tomorrow morning to head home, so the game is going back to Missouri.
I have a Hobbit Smaug that I was planning on trying to sell at the TPF but haven't listed it for sale due to a problem that I encountered with it prior to the show.
I talked to JJP tech support and they said it sound like to them that I was needing a new motherboard . I didnt know if it was going to show up in time before the show, but it did arrive the night before we were leaving for Texas. I installed the new motherboard that night , turned the game on to give it a try and it fixed the problem and plays great., but I noticed one problem, the playfield inserts were not lighting up. The Flashers are working along with a few other lights , but the LED's in the playfield were not. I tried to contact JJP tech support a couple of times Thursday as we traveled to Texas but was unable to talk to anyone.
I did bring the game with me to Texas and have it in my trailer. I bought the game new and it has less than 80 games on it .
I hate to advertise the game for sale since it's not operating properly but I thought I would just mention it in case someone was considering buying a new one which would cost around $8500. I was originally planning on listing it for $7200 but would take $6800 for it to help the buyer to cover the cost of fixing it. It could be as simple as just plugging in a wire that I pulled loose in the installation of the new motherboard or it could be a issue with a board, I just don't know until I talk to JJP tech support next week. I'm planning on just taking the game back home with me and just keeping it for a while but I would sell it if someone wants to save a little money on a practically new game and don't mind on fixing the issue themselves. Just send me a PM if your interested. I,m here at the TPF and would be glad to show it to you in my trailer. I was planning on selling it and buying a Dialed In, so if you have a Dialed In that you would want to trade for it plus cash on my end , I would be interested .
