Those are great boards, and it's always fun to play a game with good ol' 'Honest Ernie', I have one myself and have never ever had a prob.. I've gone through other boards like candy due to all the problems. Solid..

If I lived 1792 miles closer and could get them for $250 a pop (fully functional), I'd defiantly be in..

Nice and nice room as well. Know where some of these are at in gulf region.  Never had one out of all the games but thinking about it now. K+ for picture.

They sell around here (Milwaukee to Chicago) on CL for about $600 in OK shape. I know a guy that knows a guy, so that brings it to $350 for me in 'cherry' condition. If you are going to buy a board, buy a cougar., you wont be disappointed. The 'feel' of the board whoooops all the others in that price range. 

And thanks for the K+! - Here's a more recent. (note: My 'Mame half cabinet has painters tape for joysticks/buttons as of now.. It's been kinda hard to play games, but still try! ha..)

Around here (WI/IL boarder) they would have the Arachnid's it WI and the Cougars in IL. I preferred the Arachnids for dart league due to the screen and whatnot. BUT for home use, Cougar all the way.

Also my friend that runs a amusement biz said that 9 out of 10 repairs on dart boards were on Arachnids etc.., We used a PubTime with 12gauge slug darts a few wks ago actually. HA

Just my opinion on price, the 'feel' of the board and the fact that I have yet to have any issue on the Cougar.
