The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread

Quote from: Mishran on 08/10/2011, 01:04 PMJust now traded a pawn shop owner two NES pads which I paid four buck for the pair at a Goodwill and five dollars cash for a new in box Acemore Super Stick for my Turbo. Not sure if it was a good deal or not, but it goes well with the new in box Super Stick I bought at a flea market last year for $3. Aside from the grinding and squeaking the stick makes when you move it around, I think the controller works rather well. Box has seen better days though.

Nice pick-ups! Both the Acemore Superstick and Beeshu Ultimate Superstick are hard to find and rarely pop up on ebay. Great collectors pieces to have of which very few people talk about here. I think I paid between $15-20 for CIB each so you definitely did well. I am not fond of either controller. The stick on the Acemore is a little too rigid for my tastes and the beeshu stick is a little flimsy. But the latter is one sexy looking controller. Out of all of the T-16 controllers, the Turbo Stick is still my fave.

My main man Dalder send me this boom parcel from the states and it arrived recently. Managed to get a few games I've after for a while, plus copped a few of the cheaper ones he was offering to make it my best TG bundle to date. Cant wait to get some time and sit down with a few beers and a lot of spare time and play these.

I am most looking forward to Neutopia and Splatter house. Never played either before so i'm popping my cherry here folkes.

Thats it for me, no more TG purchases until I time find to play the ones I got already!!!!!!!!!

Cheers Dalder.

Great haul Gnome! Order of the Griffon is a ton of fun and an underrated classic. It gets addictive, and you'll spend hours playing it...at least I did!

TG was 68,000yen. Best price I've ever seen on one, and this copy could pass for brand new.

Made a little road trip today to pick this up! $20* off ebay, and about $50 in fuel to get it home. Sold to me as "not working"

Got it home, powered it on... heard sound but no picture. Found a wire loose on the back of the screen, resoldered it and got picture again. The picture is fuzzy most of the time, so probably time for a cap change on the screen board. The controls are worn out, so they'll need replacement. And lastly the coin mech was all jammed up with $3 in quarters and other coinage hehe. Fixed that. So for $17, we have an almost fully functional single slot MVS conversion cab!

Came with Magical Drop 2 lol.

Joe Redifer · 08/14/2011, 04:01 AM

Damn that's nice. Thank god for stupid people. A friend of mine recently bought a $300 Dyson vacuum for $50 because it "had no suction". He got it home, went to the troubleshooting section of the manual, opened up what it said to and removed 2 pine cones and 3 army men. Works fine. I hope to deal with a stupid person someday.

Tatsujin · 08/14/2011, 06:01 AM

nice bemb, I had almost the same cab back in the days. also got it from a game shop, for teh cheap because the picture shifted. sure I knew it's just the V-sync pot which had to be adjusted.
so the prob was fixed in less than 5 seconds

Oh it's an American thing. I live in the Midwest and I see them swaying underneath many a truck.

BlueBMW · 08/14/2011, 11:13 PM

I see WAY too many of them here in Tennessee...

It was funny until EVERYONE had them on their truck.

mmmhahahhah, that is hilarious Joe R!! Army Men! no joke?

JapanTokei · 08/15/2011, 10:06 AM

since I'm rarely able to get on here, and happen to have my camera out snapping pics of the bulk items I selling on the Tg/Duo/Megadrive threads, I figured I'll snap a pic of my duo-babies (get it, duo? ... lame I know.. haha)

sad thing is I never actually opened these, as I figured I wont until I have time to play it.. now with my kiddo on the way, these 2 will stay that way for a while...

Opethian · 08/15/2011, 10:24 AM

double bazzy in stereo @_@

JapanTokei · 08/15/2011, 11:21 AM

just curious I looked up my old records on how much I spent on these 2 bazzys.. man, I was really hot/insane for them...
$265.80 USD avg each for both from last year. (44,685 yen).. yikes! how did I even talk my wifey into it? can't remember..

OPE - btw, I talked to Blue Beamer. He and I worked out a trade for my bundle but I told him to hook you up for the Soldier Blade - contact him

He said he'll hook you up! I guess this is the best win-win-win situation for us all.

Nice. Grab a new flyback/cap kit, some Happs super8's and comp buttons you'll be good to go. Looks like a Dynamo cab...does the control panel flip down and slide out? Did someone drill the "A" button? I bet is has 6-on-the-face factory button holes below the plexy.

That is some butt simple wiring, but's all there...transformer, fliter, fuse and PSU.

BlueBMW · 08/15/2011, 01:31 PM

I've found buttons and caps but where can I get a replacement flyback?

NecroPhile · 08/15/2011, 01:57 PM

Nice Bazzys, J.T. Is that a mouse pad in the middle? That'd be a cool thing to have on my desk, but I'm running XP so it probably wouldn't work.
