Yeah the crazy climber story was awesome see pic below-the chat with Rob & Nino was great I learnt alot gee it was a awesome meet :)
Is that your writing Nino?
That "Crazy Climber" writing is my father's hand writing.
The story behind this board is that it was routed during the video boom - and it was a HARD game to master. I had a guy call me up and BEG me to prepare a cabinet with this board. It is unique as you use 2 joysticks. So I restored one of the cabinets we made in the early 80's and retro fitted this board. The buyer picked the game up and paid the $750 I requested. The monitor had been recapped and "rejuvenated" - the picture was perfect. The buyer was so excited that he finally had his "holy grail" machine. Checking eBay the next week - I notice this EXACT board listed for $450.. I messaged the buyer, and he replied "The monitor had too many faults so I took a loss and parted it out".
What a load of BS ! He had a buyer lined up for the VERY nice cabinet, and made up a BS story that the monitor was "faulty". Anyway- I'm just glad it is in your collection Pete.
