Recent Purchases and Good Finds

That’s a PVM marketed for use in medical industries (as are many professional Sony products with white enclosures).
They generally have higher hours and wear than the grey ones which were marketed to video production studios, of course.

If it works fine now, then there’s nothing to worry about. Might be useful to know for prospective buyers who do not have the opportunity to test the tube.

Thanks for the Saturn controllers & multi-tap! :smiley:

Complete with the original Third Strike soundtrack. My car has never sounded so '90s.

Plus some jeweller’s screwdrivers. Made out of a very soft metal so great for cleaning up desoldered PCBs etc.

Lastly, a guy on ebay is selling etched dust washers for fight sticks. Here’s a comparison with a standard Qanba one. They’re a lot thicker and the hole only allows for a fightstick without a shaft cover, plus untapered edges and it came fresh from whatever etched it, so needed a bit of a clean when it got here. Nice to look at, but not hugely functional.

2 Fightstick Pro V.S. sticks with that bracket that hooks them up starting at $300.

I could die happy in that hangout picture. You are way too damn far from Texas.

Picked up a Street Fighter 2 pinball playfield off ebay. Now backlit and hanging off my wall. Apologies to pinball purists that have to look at LEDs where candescents belong.

10 hours to go. US Auction for a Virtual ON twinstick…the cabinet kind, not the Sega Saturn kind.

Sent a message to the seller asking about the sale, it’s per joystick.
He has two listing, one for each stick.

He going to list the panel later on.

Just scored from eBay a Sega Saturn Twin Stick Controller HSS-0151 for $15.19 (plus $45 for shipping)
Which is better than the $29.99 stick plus $50 shipping.

There is one left at the time of Writing, although the seller is in japan the listing is in Euros for some odd reason.

Had my eyes on that! USPS International put me off though haha congrats!

$45 does sound like a lot but for shipping, but 45 is a fair price compared to every other listing on ebay.

$50 HRAP V3SA

I’d snag it if it weren’t for me not playing much recently.

A lot of 5 non-working (doesn’t specify) PDP Afterglow pads. UK auction. A padhacker’s dream.

2 Madcatz SFxT V.S. sticks for 360.
$160.00 altogether on Craigslist
$80 each.
The guy said he only played on them a handful of times. Still in great condition. Like-new.

Did it come with the adapter to put two of them together?
