One day I had this guy call and ask if I wanted to buy some non working pins. So I make the ride and there was 10 reimports that he said he changed over to 110 volts. Come to find out he just put a plug on the cord but never changed the jumpers. He told me to give him $3000 for the lot and get them out of his way. After installing all the needed jumpers, every game powered up and headed to a show that weekend. It was a good day.

Quoted from fattrain:

Congrats!!! Nice to hear a more positive "bit my tongue" story.
Any of those games still in your collection?? Which ones?

All those games were sold off but every penny I made is in my collection somewhere.

If I recall the worst game condtion wise, was a TMNT and the best was a NBAFB. There was also a DM,Dr.Who, Star Gate and a Rollergames. I can't remember the others, but I can remember that they all sold that weekend and I brought home a awesome condition TOTAN. Doug Huse still owns my-his TOTAN that I'll get back one day from him.
