Thanks Andreas, Arcadiabay sells some nice PCB's, I did found that site a few months ago. Unfortunately prices are pretty high, also for Pooyan. I will first search a bit further.

I bought the Taito Sub Hunter machine Stefan had on eBay.de - I had a call today to say it has been delivered at my parents house. I will be going later to check it out. But I must say it was a very easy transaction (and I have had poor ones from him in the past) - maybe things are getting better?

Just so you all know, the machine arrived and all seems ok!

Congratulations. You must need room for it I guess. Perhaps you coud swap it for your Black widow, or your tempest. But hey, where would you then go with your Black widow, or Temepst?  ;) :D

OK, I try to always be as consequent as I can SO I say it when I don't like something but also when I do.

So in all fairness.....

Couple of weeks ago I was browsing through ebay.de and I come across original NIB Wico joysticks for about €10 each BIN.
Finding these is already pretty hard, esp. in Europe but this also was an incredible price.
I need two good joysticks for my Joust cab and I figured I should be able to get these in there (which would make playing Robotron brilliant !)
So I clicked buy it now right away and ordered 2 of them...

Only after I did that I saw that the seller was Stephan. I figured....well if things don't turn up, it wouldn't break the bank so I took my chance....

And well, it just went without any problem. I paid, and received them within a couple of days and they were indeed brand new original Wico's still unassembled in their boxes.

Sorry to bring this old topic on top again... but...

Well, read the whole topic again, sure some "fun" days we was involved in there!!!
The reason for the re-read was that WOL is selling a bunch of PCB on .de atm. and i just checked his seller status.......... and there i dropped my jaw on the keyboard.....!!! WTF???

If he didn't get any negative feedbacks in the past 12 months, it turns to 100% again.

Did you have any experiences with Stephan in the last few months?
I'm asking, because he launched tons of pcbs to ebay and there is one among them, that I really, really need.
