Reference check - Justin Jotso
« on: July 18, 2023, 11:53:26 AM »
Hey everyone, I just wanted to see if anyone has dealt with Justin before? He's an op in the Lake Butler area. Just seeing if anyone has bought from him before? Or maybe he is a part of our community? A little feedback would go a long way here. Thanks!

I purchased an original MK4 contol panel from him before.  No issues and arrived as described.  Had some good conversation as well.

he's on the village I think.  Never met him, but seems to be solid.

Just spent 3 hours on the road, and on arrival was told he found out an hour ago it was throwing every error message. I don't know why he didn't tell me immediately as I was on my way up. He said he talked with Ice tech support, and they offered to repair. I came for a working game, and I'm glad I insisted on seeing it working before buying. Unfortunate waste of time, at least I'm getting caught up on a podcast.

Maybe a one off, but I would not do business with this guy and would share this story with others so they would be prepped.

He has infected and then been kicked out of many arcades in Northeast Florida.
He has ripped off many people with raspberry pi, pandora box or
jacked up MAME computers (including personal friends of mine).
He is basically a cancer in this arcade and pinball community.

Here is a link to my public Facebook post on this guy...

He ripped off a friend of mine with a mame chiller cabinet that literally fell apart moving it, 20 year old computer, not fully configured, rigged up Sony crt tv, hot glue gun to keep guns together, etc etc...

it's the same guy :) they're all the same guy, except for ikaruga/casey. he was a different level. ;D

i hate to say it, but that is the defacto computer to use for a basic mame setup (Dell Dimension 2400 and similars). and yes...it is almost 20 years old. :P

every city has their own local arcade hack. don't forget miami's Ronnie either: "everything painted in jamaican colors, mon." ;)
