Looking for.......
A Valley Cougar Coin-Op Dart board...
Its the same electronic boards you see in bars and ****. Im looking to pick one up used. Keep finding them on Ebay and they are pick up only and have only found one in MI, and the ******* wants $1000 for it when I have seen them usually go for less than $500..
So if anyone knows of anyone who has one and is looking to get rid of it, please let me know. Would like one for the game room.. (which is almost done!)

I guess I could be a little more helpful... since it almost Christmas and ****. 
Vally is no longer, they went out of business, or basically handed over all the rights to their games to Cougar as I was told. Not in Battle Creek anymore either If I remember correct. Start searching for cougar instead of vally. You can call cougar and see about some used ones, but they'll probably just ship you over to a local retailer like freeplay or whoever's out there now. They will sell you parts though, and the things are not that hard to work on.
If you can find an older machine without Ernie, you can add him to it. The update ran about 80 bucks last year when I did mine, simple as adding a chip and soldering a resistor to the daughter card. Buttons swap around, and Ernie goes in the middle. Could give you some bartering room when you do find one.
If you get one that was onsite at a bar, the thing's gonna reeeek! Took me forever to de-stink mine when I got it.
Dunno, there out there though so keep lookin'. :YEAH
