[anthony@quarterarcade.com: Any Interest in Servicing a Game in Utah?]

I don't know if anyone here has an interest in taking this on. If so, respond to Anthony directly. ----- Forwarded message from Anthony Pietrak <anthony(a)quarterarcade.com> ----- From: "Anthony Pietrak" <anthony(a)quarterarcade.com> To: <pashdown(a)xmission.com> Subject: Any Interest in Servicing a Game in Utah? Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2003 06:50:02 -0500 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2911.0) Pete, We've never met, but I've seen you post on the newsgroup before. We just sold two games (Joust and Tron) to a customer in Park City, Utah. The Tron arrived with "graphic problems" as he describes. I haven't spoken with the customer, hopefully its just a loose connection, but I suspect the board may have taken a tank on us. Just wanted to see if you might be able to go out and take a look at it for us. We'd compensate you for your time out and the time to look at the game. I'm not sure we need you yet, but want to get the process rolling, just in case. Normally we try to handle this by mailing a new board to our customer, but I suspect this guy is not very hands on. Thanks, Anthony --Anthony Pietrak www.QuarterArcade.com www.GreatGameDatabase.com Restored Arcade Games for your Home ----- End forwarded message -----

My hotlist right now is a Pioneer PR-8210 or PR-8210A. I've got a Star Rider on the way and a working PR-8210A is all I need!

Thanks to jeff for keeping track of it all. The auction was a little disappointing because of the lack of "collectibles." They did have one Defender in good shape. Supposedly there was another semi load of games that was supposed to show up but it never did. As for the Bloxeed -- not much left after all the vultures stripped EVERYTHING out of the cab. The cab itself was broken in the bottom - it had clearly taken a really hard drop sometime.. So it was broken down and tossed into the dumpster. Since jeff was able to type the list in I'm guessing that means his hands weren't too badly damaged. I've gotta believe at least some of the other games that were sold also became firewood. Why? Because we watched how people were loading them into their trucks. The guy that had the two uprights standing up in his truck (1942 and something else) and had them secured with bungy cords was interesting. A decent set of straps doesn't cost much. And if they insure that you get your game home in one piece, well, they pay for themselves.. Hopefully everybody had fun. Kurt > Ok, here's the results of the AUCTION today.

Auction truck

I just reserved a 18 foot truck with a lift. I don't plan on filling it. :-) If anyone buys a standard size game that they need delivered in SLC, I'll do it for $15. Utah Valley $30 (sorry Bert).
