Title: wildbil52's Dual Screen Play Choice 10
Post by: wildbil52 on March 19, 2013, 10:08:49 PM
Here it is, nicer quality that the first pic I posted.

It is a dual screen Nintendo Play Choice 10 and it is the nicest one I've come across.

The marquee is pretty nice.  I feel like the light is kind of dim on the sides.  I opened it up and the original fluorescent bulb is actually pretty small so I'll be looking into  picking up a slightly larger one.

Here is a shot of it running Punch Out.  One of my favorite things about the PC 10 version is that it saves player initials for the top 10 KO/TKO times for each opponent (Got the number one spot on Don Flamenco on my first try).

These are just to show the monitor quality.  They are really nice, though I am considering swapping out all the capacitors with new ones.

Here is the current list of games.  The two that it came with that are less common are Balloon Fight and Rescue Rangers.  Both of which are for sale.  Also, I already had Mike Tyson's Punch Out and Contra PCBs so those are for sale now too.

SOOOO pretty...

That is awesome! It looks like it's in great shape. You'll have loads of fun with this cab.

I guess we'll have to wait for the podcast to come out to learn how you found this Play Choice machine.

As said before, very awesome!  All you need now is a Mega Man 2 PCB, they made those didn't they?


Title: Re: wildbil52's Dual Screen Play Choice 10

They made a Mega Man 3, much to Crabby's delight, but no 2.

There is an adapter that will connect an Nes cart to the pc10 so it is possible to play other games on the cab with that.

There's one in my area that's been advertised repeatedly, but I couldn't justify the pricetag unless I was opening a barcade and got a bunch of PC10 PCBs for cheap.

Wishful thinking for me but congratulations! That looks awesome!

Just replace the cord?

Just replace the cord?

That was my first thought but the crowd on the arcade forums encouraged me to replace the plug instead if the cord was intact.  Replacement cables are available for about the same price but I also prefer the heavier duty plug.

Just did, thanks for the reminder, Nanner!  Just waiting to be given full access so I can be made fun of for my novice questions.

I'm blanking, Ray, what do you have besides the Neo Geo?

Seems to be a fairly friendly site. I have been on there a few times to look for pinball machines, but have never dealt with arcade cabs.  My experiences with maintenance questions (no matter how simple) on other sites has been very positive. Always expect to get your hands dirty and spend money when owning any type of machine.

The guys on KLOV are extremely helpful. Definitely don't be afraid to ask stupid questions.

Steeplechase, Centipede. Steeplechase was damaged in the flood, Centipede needs some minor cosmetic work, and the Neo Geo cab needs to have the red mylar redone on the particle board exterior.
