jim Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 Got 8 machines for $200.00. Local guy had them in storage rental unit and rent was coming due again. Wanted the room cleaned out. Deal was I had to take everything. Got a Sega Turbo complete coming on with garbage on screen, Baseball upright working fine, 2 Nintendo Playchoice machines. Both working with 5 games in each, working Nintendo VS Super Mario, Galaga cabinet missing boardset but otherwise complete, Centipede cabinet with no monitor/boards, 1 other cabinet with no boards or CP and painted black. Have not figured out what it was yet. Had to also take about 25 back doors from various machines. Some doors were rough but many still had locks with keys, and some even had manuals in plastic bags attached to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YarsRevengeFan Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 Jim, Ever hear that song by Rod Stewart that goes: "Some guys have all the luck!" Damn, thats a great find! Excuse me while the green-eyed monster of jealousy rears its ugly head! I would love to have just one arcade game in my house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedijeff Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 So are you going to sell all those or e-bay them? Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Where are you going to keep all those games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted August 4, 2002 Author Share Posted August 4, 2002 Well I sold one lot of 10. Have a lot of 6 pinball machines sold but not taken yet. The rest are packed with other machines where ever I can find room. Have about 18 machines in my gameroom in the house, about 25 in my shop, and have about 15 in the barn. The big problem is I have a deal in the works for another 20! Also have a deal on the back burner for about 30-40 juke boxes. It helps to have a big old 4000sf house, 2000sf shop, and 3200sf barn though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted August 6, 2002 Author Share Posted August 6, 2002 Just got home from looking at the 20 games I had in the works. Made a deal for 500 cash. Have to leave at 8am to go get them with a rented 22' truck (wish I could buy one of these things!). This lot is all old EM stuff from the 60's/70's. Shooting galleries, Speedway, Motorcycle, Sea Rescue, Invaders From Outer Space, several flying types, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radioactive42 Posted September 15, 2002 Share Posted September 15, 2002 Nice deals my friend. You are in about the only place in the country that this is possible. Try it in Seattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
