Title: The quest for Vs. RBI Baseball
Post by: Lime Tree on January 10, 2013, 06:42:40 pm
I just bought my first ever arcade machine; a red tent machine with SMB and Castlevania from a cool dude in town who owns tons of arcade games.  The machine is fully operational, but beaten up pretty good.  Looks like it was in service from the 1980's on.
My goal is to get RBI baseball on there; I played this game like an addict as a kid on a red tent machine.  So begins my epic Internet quest to find an Atari RBI Baseball PCB... anyone know where to look? Also, were there any upgrades/improvements you have made to a red tent that had a big impact (like new button springs, a bezel sticker, etc)?

Thanks and I will keep you all updated on my Red Tent RBI Adventure!

This shouldn't be very hard to find! Just check ebay often. It's pretty common.

Got the RBI daughter board from martimagico, plugged it in, set the dips and it is RBI time!!!! Awesome! Now I just need to replace some cracked buttons (my purple ones) and print off the RBI Artwork card.
