They are not difficult to find if your waiting time is one year or more.

I've come across 2 cheap Gunforce II in the past year.

Both were terrible shape. Acid damage and badly damaged labels.

A lot of people are changing the M92 caps themselves and very badly.

I'm still looking for a Hook and Undercover Cops PCB - I've been offered a few, but you can clearly see the last guy who changed the caps has lifted or damaged the pads where the caps go.

If you're not good at soldering, please stop damaging these boards people!

:problem: Bit of a hammer blow seeing these prices for Cannon Dancer and Geostorm...I kind of wanted both myself, eventually. I kind of figured Geostorm would be a £1000-ish and and Cannon Dancer maybe £1500-ish? :oops:

Oh well, maybe I'll settle for a badly recapped/acid-damaged Gunforce II instead :lol:

Hop on the UKVAC train. Everything is £50 over there (including Batrider).

But you should be snipping everyone of them off and then sending it to someone that can solder.

I thought all those brown caps were through hole 🤷‍♂️

What’s the rough value for a Revenge of Death Adder (original)?

I’ve got a wanted add up, and I was anticipating ~£450, just checking that is at least close to what to expect?

I don’t want to encourage the massive price rise of a board I’m actively seeking, but there’s so much to appreciate with APB.

If it were rated on just straight arcade mode gameplay, it might not even be top 10-15, but (as I think I’ve said in the wanted thread) the aesthetic, the huge roster (for a SHMUP) and the boss rush access straight from the menu make this PCB a great time.

I think it’s getting towards unobtanium levels of popularity lately, but I guess if we can at least keep it between us rather than ‘disponible’ or ‘RARE! MAKE ME AN OFFER!!!!! UK STOCK’ type sellers then at least the money is more likely to be invested back into the community… right??

Probably not, but I’m looking for a silver lining.

imo APB has always been harder to get than bakraid/batsugun, at least locally. I paid 800 eur shipped with partial arts from Portugal a few years ago and was overpaying at the time. Really glad I picked it up now. Probably one of the last PCBs Ill ever sell.
