Yeah it is  the board form the PC-KD863G, can't believe I overlooked that board when looking at all the board versions to compare.

Oh well, it is not some undiscovered board but still nice to have...

Today this very curious item got delivered that I won on Yahoo Auctions last month.

It is what appears to be an officially made PC Engine Arcade Board... as you can see from the pictures, it has Hudson chips (Hu6260, Hu6270 and Hu6280) along with some screen printed writing... NEC PWD-678 72406781.

At the front there is the HuCard slot and a slide power button, which makes me think this was maybe mounted in something... there is also an on-board controller port.

Then at the back the board has two connectors, one for Audio/Video and the other for power... there is also 3 adjustment pots in the middle of the board which maybe is for audio volume... I am not sure yet.

Now the writing on the board got me thinking as they looked familiar, so I looked at the other console main boards to compare...

White   -   PWD-623A 72406235
Core      -   PWD-814A 72408141
Core 2   -   Same as above
Shuttle   -   TBC
Super   -   PWD-820A 72408201
Duo      -   PWA-3285-A 72932851/5
Duo-R   -   PWA-3339-A 7233392
Duo-RX   -   PWA-3365-A 72933652

TG16   -   PWD-782A 72407822
TG-PAL   -   PWD-913A 72409131
T.Duo   -   PWA-3321-A 72933211


So looking again at what is on this board (PWD-678 72406781) it places its production between the original White and Core Grafx units.

Next job is to wire up a new connector and install in a cab and see what happens... I will keep you posted.

Has anybody ever seen a board like this before... let me know what you think.

Now I know that there are many PC Engine Arcade boards that are widely available on eBay and Yahoo Japan Auctions, and I had assumed that these were the handiwork of some Chinese factory knocking out more unlicensed crap. But I now know that is not correct, but before I explain anymore i'll give some background...

A few years ago, a few friends and I very sadly helped the owner of one of London's oldest Amusement arcades, the Goodge Street Casino, to clear out the last of the cabinets so it could finally close its doors to the public. As part of this closure, the owner's collection of cabinets, boards and artwork were also saved... and the guy in question was the owner of Electrocoin Automatics, John Stergides, who were the largest distributer of all Amusement Arcade cabinets and games in the UK and across Europe... similar to Romstar in the US.

Among the collection many rare and prototype boards were found, including amongst other things an unreleased Bubble Bobble 2 PCB...
http://www.jammaplus.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53192

And a wealth of Neo Geo MVS Prototypes that I currently have in my collection...
http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?238655-MVS-Proto-carts-Part-II

Anyway, back to why I actually started this thread...

So within this collection was a fairly ordinary and common PC Engine Arcade Board, but it what the board was packaged with that was most interesting... it was another friend who got hold of it first so for the last couple of years I have been trying to get him to part with it and now I finally have...

IMG


So obviously we have all seen these boards, but this one was the first one I had ever seen boxed and marked Alpha Trading...

IMG


But this system also came included with an airmail letter which again was stamped by Alpha Trading...

IMG
IMG


The first letter dated February 17th 1989, is from NEC and addressed to Alpha Trading confirming that they have importer/distributer rights of all PC Engine systems in Korea...

IMG

And the other letter was the original order invoice placed by Electrocoin on April 6th 1989...

So I have been playing and collecting the PC Engine since the late 80s and have always been intrigued by the wealth of different hardware that is available for the system... which is why I created www.pc-engine.co.uk

But during this time I have never ever seen a Screen Magnifier for the PC Engine GT... but one has now turned up.

Now i'm trying to research this and google returns absolutely nothing... and I mean nothing, not even a picture.

So the question is, does anyone know anything about it... where does it come from, who made it etc..? Anything would be great to hear.

Cheers.

Quote from: jperryss on 01/27/2016, 11:17 AMIs anyone considering sending a message to the seller about it? Just something like "We'd love to know more about his unit, can you ask the buyer to contact us?" and leave it at that.

Maybe wait a week so he doesn't say "OMG RAER!" and try to screw the winning bidder.
I have already messaged the seller... all he told me is that he recently found it locally to him.

This is an awesome spot... never seen one of these before.

I'll add it to my site so we don't lose the pics...
