Finally got something to post here (it's been a while since I last bought a PCB.) Thanks to PaCrappa, I am now the proud owner of a Battle Bakraid board. For the time being I've had to jury rig a third button hanging over the control panel, but hopefully I'll be able to take care of that one soon...
The board, inside the cabinet
My ghetto'd third button. And no, I didn't purchase a Batsugun board by mistake, my phone's camera does that for some odd reason...
Awsome! Looks brand new (including the ashtray!), except for the player 1 joystick looks a little low.
Yeah, it's in pretty nice condition - there's a 2004 service sticker from Taito (it's really clean on the inside too). The sticks were crap, so I decided to change them, only to find out that the balls won't come off at all - I'll have to cut them off with a saw or something.
I actually stole the ashtray from HEY this spring, but the maintenance manuals was a nice bonus.

put a little muscle into it they will come off, youll need two pliers to get a proper grip tho.
There should be a slot for a flat head screwdriver at the bottom of the stick. Turn it with that (while holding the ball). Or use the screwdriver to remove the clip/ring on the bottom, and then just pull the stick up and through.
Got some IREM M62 stuff... Spartan X, Spelunker PCB conversion kit, some Lode Runner parts and original instructions plus sticker.
I have already converted Spartan X (kung fu master) to Spelunker before i did the following pic, i just need to do some soldering otherwise Spelunker has massive graphical error and locks up before levelstart.
Super solid Metal Slug-esque platformer. Been looking for one without spending $200 for ever and PaCrappa sold me one for $120! This is the kinda game that I would be willing to put the time into and really get good at. AI is not cheap and gameplay is way fun. Would be perfect on a handheld like GBA!

You were tricked. I hope you didn't pay a lot for Doo-ou-Jou
just because you dont have the means to play PCB shmups doesnt mean he was tricked. maybe you should have more insight before claiming that
I'm pretty sure Ceph was just making a joke about Piratero's misspelling of the title. Inferring he may have bought a bootleg/knockoff. The game's title is Dodonpachi Daioujou.

Well according to Herr Schatten:

I feel like I'm answering this question over and over again.
Sonic Wings Special and Sonic Wings Limited both have the same concept (remixing the three original SW games) and share some graphics, but they are independent games with totally different stage layouts. Additionally, SWS has branching paths. You can chose which way to go twice during every playthrough. SWL has linear stage progression.
As far as the differences between Special and Limited PCBs, they are the same, but Special is all english text.
