Haven't posted in a while, but I picked up In The Hunt off Ebay for $45 BIN plus $20 shipping. Game works fine and is in great shape. I did also buy a Japanese MVS cabinet. I've got Guwange and Strikers 1945 Plus on the way as well, but I figured that In The Hunt was worthy of a posting since I've only seen it for sale for WAY more.
Pretty cool game. Hard in spots for sure. I beat it a few months ago, but surely it was not 1 credit. My mom actually loved playing it and played it for a few hours. Too bad she's arguably one of the worst gamers in history except for Ladybug and Galaga, then she's cold-blooded murderer.

AV7000 and 9000TB.
Yeah, that's the one I have. Works great. I only wish it was easier to get cables and replacement sticks. But now that I've got the cable situation sorted out, I'm just hoping that the stick lasts a long time.
You can probably mod or have someone else mod a stick for you. GP has posted the pinout before (and you probably have the sheet) and it should be a simple 1-to-1 process to the 13-pin DINN.
For my AV6000, Paik4Life helped me out with a nice custom DB15 stick (because those 9000TBs just don't feel right for all circumstances with those flat Seimitsu snap-ins). It would probably be a fun experience for the stick maker as well.

Thanks, Ganelon. That's an excellent idea, and I do have the pinout. I would love to have a further stick or even a Saturn pad. I expect the supergun itself will last a long, long time. I'll have to look into having someone help me out with that because there's no way I could do it myself.
That's gotta be one for the record books of a Cave arcade shmup PCB selling for less than it's real worth. Either the seller didn't know the real value of it on the secondary PCB market or he just simply wanted some chmup pocket change back on his intial investment...
A mere forty bucks for a Cave ESP.ra.de PCB is quite a steal in this day of age... ^_~
Was it just a "barebones" PCB deal to begin with?

For oxtsu,
How's the gameplay of that Bombjack Twin PCB? Very nice and clean overall for it's age... ^_~
