Bye Bye junk
by Dave Knight 25 Feb '05

25 Feb '05

Well, after threatening since last summer I finally disposed of just about all of my junk. Today I took two truckloads of control panels, coin doors, back doors, cabinets, harnesses and power supplies to the dump. I feel sort of sad that nobody needed any of the parts and I had no room for them, I hate to see some of that stuff go since I know next week someone here will need something I had. Too bad we can't have some sort of central storage bank where some of this stuff could be stashed until others need it. Sort of like a blood bank. You give and then take when you need something. Anyway, I still have the Tron cocktail for sale. Also have a Dig Dug cocktail project I'm bailing on so the pcb, power supply, harness and monitor etc are available for trades or sale. Space Duel upright may or may not go soon as well. Now, I'm still looking for: Pacman cabinet -bare and in very good condition Donkey Kong - same Tron pcb set Gorf stuff - Kurt, you still have that?? ( I lost your email addy) etc etc --Dave

Warehouse update
by Sean McLachlan 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

I talked to the op yesterday and told him our base offer was $50 per non working game and that each guy here would make his own deal for any working game or parts he wanted. He said that sounded OK. It looks like we can get in to pick up the stuff as early as the end of this week. He is supposed to talk to me today and tell me what his schedule is like, and with a little luck it'll work for most. The others can work out a time directly. Jason (utahtaper), my email is sean(a)lithoflexo.com. Dave Knight will, I'm sure, contact you soon. He reads the list regularly. How long have you been collecting? What have you got and what are you looking for? The list of what is spoken for: MSPacs, TEmpests, and maybe a cocktail or two - Jeff Peters MK - Kurt Mahan Mini - Bert Ankrom Converted DL, Agent 777 pin, 2 jukes - Chris Hardy Pole Pos, Pole Pos II, the better Galaxian and maybe a cocktail - Chris Strong Pole Pos (working) - John Barton (off list friend of mine) Road Blasters - Sean McLachlan Still quite a few good games up for grabs. As for the parts, several guys have expressed interest in broad arrays of stuff, so that will have to be left up to the individuals. Anything you can scrounge out and make on offer on when you pick up your stuff is fair game. If you ever wanted to buy monitor chasiss' in quantity, this is your chance. :) Sean McLachlan

Anyone need a MAME cab?
by utahtaper 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

Hey fellow gamers! I'm new to the list. Chris Wright turned me onto it. He posted that I have a Taito cab that someone could MAME and he's right. Let me know if you need it. You could get it for a song. I was browsing through the archives and saw Sean's post about the op games in a warehouse. I have no idea how to contact him so if anyone know's drop me a line. I wouldn't mind getting in on it. I could use a couple parts that Dave Knight has if you know how to get a hold of him. Thx, Jason No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Anyone want in?
by Sean McLachlan 17 Feb '05

17 Feb '05

If you see anything you like, let me know. This is hosted at my house, and I left the pics large so you can see details, so please save the files instead of downloading them several times. Thanks. http://www.classifind.net/noiseland/warehouse2/ Backstory: This op is going out of business and needs to clear out of his warehouse in a couple of months. He wants to move as much as he can. I didn't see many game boards, so they are probably somewhere I didn't look. I don't think anyone has been in there yet. The warehouse is in Salt Lake. Ground rules: You contact me and tell me you are in, and I'll tell you who the op is. But any deal gets made as a group through me so everyone can benefit, even if someone only wants one machine. After the initial buy, you are welcome to make any kind of deal with op directly. I want the RoadBlasters and Kurt M gets first refusal on the Mortal Kombat. MK II is up for grabs, as is everything else. There are probably 3 or 4 Golden Tee 98, 99 and 2K's not pictured, as well as a Space Invaders (looked about a 6 out of 10, 7 being average). 2 Asteroids uprights, 1 I couldn't get too, the other was pretty nice. Asteroids cocktail, no monitor. There is a room full of monitors, several looked to be BW vector. Battlezones are claimed working but missing monitors (I didn't verify the no monitors). A couple of the Pole Positions are also claimed working. There are 2 ms Pacs, both in about the same shape as the one pictured. Both claimed working. There are 2 tempests, but I could only get to 1. Most games will be not working, but I'd guess parts are there to at least make them complete. Hey Chris Strong: Does that RoadBlasters look complete inside? Sean
