Anyone with first hand experience with these JAMMA multi-Williams
PCBs?

Price seems a bit high to me, but from the videos it seems nice.

Also, it states that Sinistar a vertical game, runs on this board as
well. Does it run vetical
(sideways) on the horizontal monitor?

Are there any other good multi-williams options still out there?

I've built a few multi-williams with the arcadeshop board for friends
etc. All of them really enjoyed the machine. so I'd recommend it.
unfortunately I don't know about your sinistar question, I don't
remember how/if it plays on a horizontal machine however if you email
arcadeshop they'll let you konw. they are usually very responsive to
questions.

There is a guy called JROC that sells them pre-programed and I have
heard they are good. He is very, very slow to return e-mails if at all
though. I do not like the fact you have to download the games from the
ArcadeShop boards and that is why I have not gone with them.

oh yeah I forgot about those. he actually redesigned the boards to be
true to the real hardware, and even uses the real processors etc.
I have one of those boards as a back up to my "clay cowgill" multi-
williams running in my robotron cabinet.

The only thing about the arcade shop board is that you can install
more than just the williams games if your looking for a "more"
multigame, though the JROK should be more "authentic" (though I cannot
see any issues with the multi-williams from arcade shop).

I'm building a Williams Multi with a JROK board in it from a gutted
Robotron Cab I picked up. I did a bunch of research about 6 months
ago on which board I wanna to go with and from what darn near everyone
is saying (at least at the KLOV)..the JROK was the way to go. My
understanding that he uses all the original game code and there is no
emulation and I think it was about $100 cheaper than the arcade shop
board

My board was shipped 2 days after I emailed him and as of last month
has them in stock. The bad is there's no Moon Patrol for some reason.

Here his site
http://www.jrok.com/

With that being said I have nothing bad to sat about the arcade shop
board as I have never seen or used one. Hopefully I'll have mine up
and running next weekend once I get my little care package from Bob
Roberts

Thanks everyone! I remember the JROK board now! I had a HDD crash in
January and lost pretty much everything, including my multitude of
arcade related links.

Looks like I have some research to do now on them all.

Thanks again, I appreciate the info and pointers!

I'm selling my arcadeshop pcb, $200 if you want it, used but still
works fine. Lemme know if you'd want it. Also got 19-1 for 230
shipped... Never used still new.

We sell the 60-1 for $125.. Do they still make the 19-1?? Thats a
rather outdated board...
