Any body willing to pay 120$ for a tadao board? Interest thread here.

matteusz · 05-28-2008, 11:01 PM

So I have seen a tadao board or two hit the 150$ mark and I am wondering if people are just silly or if there is that much demand. Post up here if you would be interested in a tadao at the old 120$ price would you please. I am curious how much competition there is for one.

No I don't have any to sell (just the one in my 04 vike and I need it).

Also I heard there are a couple brand new 04 vikings at AKA for 725$. Why haven't they sold?

Pretty sure $120 is about what I paid for mine (in 06). I definitely like their boards best for AKA but I wouldnt do any more than that. Im not much of a mode junkie.

Can you get anything besides the pandora board anymore? Do they all control semi about the same?

People have run them off their DM Tadaos havent they?

Here are a couple of options to give you an idea of currently-available alternatives and what they cost. The new Scenario Dreams universal board should work, but installation would require a significant amount of soldering. The SD boards cost $50.00 the last I checked. I have seen a couple of Vikings powered by Predator boards, and those cost upwards of $100.00. There are several NIB Pandora boards on e-Bay for about $33.00 shipped. While I would rather have a Tadao in my Vikings, I don't think I would pay that much extra for one considering the alternatives available.

I heard the pandora boards suck. Is that true? Are they hard to install and work? All the usual settings? You know dwell, debounce, ramping, . . .

Meanwhile the SD boards look interesting but appear to require a special spot for the membrane pad. Thanks for post the options.

Well I paid less than $80 for all of my Tadao Boards but for some reason, there seems to be a resurgence in AKA gunwhoring so the price may go back up.

Wonder why?

lol, Windu finally made it to MCB. And hes already bustin' chops.

As I said on AO, yup, I would certainly buy another Tadao board for $120. So long as it's flashed with the latest Excal-friendly software.

Would it be helpful to start up a single interest thread somewhere?
