AWESOME!!!!! I needed a couple plastics for my RFM, so I bid on a NOS entire set..... and won on EBAY.
the cool thing is they are from George Gomez's personal collection... and he will sign them and provide a photo for proof of autheticity! WOW.. how cool.
I don't need all the plastic peices, so if you need any, let me know. How cool, the actual lead designer's real autograph on one of my plastics... with a Photo...cool (I'm pretty excited - can you tell).
cool, I saw that auction. I'm getting the machine tomorrow, so if it has missing plastics I'll let ya know.

Yeah, we got to see Chuck and Don (actually it was just Don by himself as Chuck was still speaking) do the RFM to SWeP1 swap live during their seminar last year at expo. With the plunger swap the game went from RFM to SWeP1 in under 10 mins. One of the coolest features is NuCore has PF sensing code built in, so it automatically runs the correct software based solely on which PF is installed in the game. No switches or soft menus to sift through, just swap the PF and you're up and running.
I've got it! Picked it up from "The Corporate Center". Only cost $20 for them to receive the pallet. The guy there even helped me unwrap it from the pallet and bring it down the stairs into the minivan, very nice people. They also had a small dog that wouldn't stop barking, and its bark sounded like a squeeze toy, very weird.
The machine looks nice, a 7 or 8 (whatever that means). Hopefully it works. Hippochrome's on his way to help me move it downstairs. I declared it at the border, showed my paypal receipt, paid my taxes and went on my way. Very painless.

Argh! I hooked it all up (as best I could, since I don't know pin2k) and nothing is happening! The monitor is blank, but is definitely lit up. The computer is whirring away, and the CPU fan starts up about 10 seconds after I turn it on.
It came with the head detached, so I hope I reconnected all the wires. Into the computer I attached the parallel and serial cables, and the monitor cable. Anything else I'm missing?

I think that's about it for cables... There should be a power cable for the monitor etc, but it sounds like you got that one already because the computer and monitor are coming up. (is the maquee light coming on?)
you might need to pop the CPU out and reseat the prism / double check all your connections. Lets hope it's something simple.
Just took a peak at the power driver board. For the row of fuses, the fouron the right most are lit red, then the fifth from the right is green, then the rest are dark. What does that mean?

You got the coin door open when you check these fuse LED's? If the coin door is open all the led's to the left of the Green +12V LED will be off. (but these will not be the cause of your non-booting CPU)
When you turn the game on, the CRT should be solid white and then go to black as the game starts to boot. If you're not getting ANY picture, check to see if the the "Health" LED (LED2) is blinking after a while, and make sure you've got +5V (LED17)
I've hooked the pin2k pc up to a monitor, but am still not seeing anything. The power supply is pretty noisy. But the CPU fan is spinning.
And the coin door has been closed when doing earlier testing.

So with shipping, customs, taxes, ect. what did transport cost? Which shipping company did you use?
Sounds great, let me know how it goes... I love my game... (PS: if you have been watching lately, RFM has generally gone up in price (+ $1000) from a few months ago...)
Shipping was $195 USD to Ogdensburg, and the package centre charged me $20. I then paid GST+PST on the purchase price.
