Missing posts? Re: Sega XY and Production run numbers

Hi all,

They changed my e-mail over here at work. I realized I sent like the last
two responses from my new exchange account, and I think vectorlist doesn't
send you back and e-mail saying "Hey, you aren't subscribed!". So anyway,
I will repost my comments here...

Re: Sega XY speech

I have EPROMS between all speech boards, including Astro Blaster and have
found nothing game specific about them, so any speech board should work
with any set of ROMs.

Re: Production numbers

Two things I noticed:

1) Asteroids production numbers: 47,000+.

I and many others had been led to believe that Asteroids went back into
production and crossed over the 50,000 mark, and those over the 50,000
mark were consider "gold version". Anyone know anything about this, or
is this just "urban legend?"

2) Black Widow cost: $995

Space Duel was around $2000, so I figure that either this is a typo, or
this is the price of the upgrade kit (cp, header, bezel, sideart, board).
Even though I heard some of the upgrade kits were done at the factory.

Can anyone clear this up?

Last but not least, do the production numbers gel in any way with the
serial numbers that Jess Askey has been recording on his web page?

A few more questions:

How specific are magnetic rings (those used for purity adjustments)? Can
I use the magnetic rings from another monitor, like a raster monitor, or
another color XY to replace missing rings from a G08 monitor I have?

BTW, I have 2 Amplifone color XY 19" yokes. I have no idea what these are
worth, but would like to offer them to anyone who is interested. If
possible, I would like to trade them for some board repair: A Lunar
Lander boardset, and a Black Widow boardset.

Thanks!

BTW, if my previous posts about these two subjects did get through, sorry
for wasting the bandwidth.
