Cash ready to go for the right machine.

Got some leads on both machines and my fingers are crossed for a positive result.

I have found a very nice congo but unfortunately it has no boards at all in the backbox.
Can all of these be readily sourced for replacement and if so what sort of $$ would I be looking at?

I believe you can ;

Then you need the cable set which is easy to track down.

I'd say you would be looking at AUS$800 - $900 landed.

Thanks for the help guys, I have decided not to go down the replacement boards road. It wasn't cost effective with what the seller wanted for the rest of the game.
There was a pretty nice creech here in brissie as well but in the end I jumped on a very nice example of a different title I was chasing today so I can call off the search for these two for awhile.

Another game I have owned a few times but am always chasing after it is gone....WH20.

^^^ cool game, had one and will get another one day

This will be my fourth whitewater and it is easily one of the nicest original examples I have seen and the best I have owned to date. It's in fantastic condition, can't wait to pick it up next week-end.

Post by: Cow Corner on June 16, 2014, 09:37:29 PM
Sold another game so here we go again........  :D

On the hunt for either title.

good luck mate, both are great games in my opinion, will keep my eyes peeled for you.

Might be going down this road after all.
Both games need all boards, cable sets are there. Games are filthy but should scrub up nice.
Anyone in Melb want to go and have a look at them for me?

It was not to be this time, a shame but at the end of the day it wasn't right.
Big thanks to Nino for all his help and advice, cheers mate much appreciated.

Will have to come back to these two games at another time.

But as one door shuts another opens, there is always another game on the horizon.

I'm trying my hardest to resist, it is a theme that appeals to me...too much mullah for NIB Stern games these days though. Maybe 2nd hand if it turns out to be a good game but no more NIB.

Cheers mate, inspecting the game around lunchtime.
If all goes well it will be coming home with me.

Creature I am very familiar with but Congo will be a new experience. I have only played it a handful of times.

I sure do, a vn one at that.
Good game, still getting the gist of it but the flow is cool and the audio is outstanding. Some vn pf art as well. Interesting shots and rewards, love the volcano shot.
Not a hard or overly deep or game by any means( I have nearly cracked 100 diamonds in the first afternoon of play) but there is something about it I really like.
Time for a few more games....  ()

Mine has been stripped for a while but nearly back together also in very nice shape, and put in a playfield protector so that will be interested as well as all new plastics set etc.

Agree with you on the volcano shot cool shot...
