Hi.

[cliff_poole]

I've just logged back in to see what's going on these days. I think its been about 7 years since I was last here, originally joined in the mid 90's when it was just an email distribution list.

I'm in Reading. Still got a large collection of PCBs, one JAMMA cab, one pinball, and a load of electronics test gear and chips. My interest drifted back briefly last year when I bought and fixed a Philko Outrun PCB. I also reseated the chips on Nemesis and had a good old play. Amazing how it comes back to you after a few practice runs.

Hi Cliff, Welcome back.

I'm sure I have bought a few PCB's off of you in the past. Were you once on Jamma+ as well?

Hey Cliff

Great to see you back. The collecting scene is bigger than ever, and you might be shocked at some of the prices of those PCBs you have!

Yes, I was on JAMMA plus too. Just learned today that it is no more.

Funny that PCB prices and popularity of the hobby were mentioned. I'd sort of assumed interest was fading in general until I saw the prices of some of the faulty PCBs on ebay the other day. Its great to see how lively things are

. Even some new test gear being invented I see, there sure are some clever people here.

I think with so many lock downs recently it has given many collectors more of a chance to appreciate their collections and rekindle their fondness of arcade games they grew up playing.

And definitely some of the test gear and roms created recently by forum members here has made diagnosing PCB issues that much easier
