Its thanks to these sites and people posting them i saved a rare crossbow machine
I'd be happy with that dartboard cabinet
Well that should get the owners bombarded with offers to buy, i can see one machine there that would probably fetch a few grand
Those big simpsons cabs are awesome, if i had the space i would of been trying to buy one before now

I was on the isle of wight last weekend!
Costs £66.00 on the boat from Lymington to Yarmouth if anybody is making the trip!
It might be closer to go to Cowes from Southampton though depending on what side of the island it's on.
It looks huge in the pictures mainly fruits but still cool. I love that Simpsons machine dibs!
never seen one like that before.
Nice ridge racer and I bet theres a couple more squeezed in between the fruities

It's in Sandown...and yup loving the Simpsons too
didn't see anything apart from the massive Simpsons, still well worth a look especially in the stock room....
I'm also sure as hell the arcade in Grand Central, Stockport had that same Simpsons machine back in the day...

Even better its about 5min walk from where I am staying, shame there is nothing great arcade wise in there, the Simpons does look to be the one that was in White City Arcade, which I think closed down over the past couple of years.
There is a ridge racer to the left of the Simpsons machine
Only ever seen 2 of those Simpsons cabs! Bet there's a few gems hidden in the workshop room too.

Fancy taking a road trip up there Rob?
I live in Cowes, and tried to get a look round Wight City last year. It fell through as the person who was going to unlock it and show me round was off sick when I turned up. I gave up as it creeped me out a bit!
I think there was a lot of flooding so lots of the stuff will be in bad shape from what I heard. Most of the original cabs were redistributed around other arcades, but there's obviously some left. Someone on J+ apparently did have a look around, but didn't have much info when I asked.
Probably worth having a look and I'm happy to help out!

This says it all:
"Pretty sure we were the first explorers since it closed but recently a window has been smashed, unless its sealed soon the trashing will start

Now the cat is out of the bag, might need to move quickly to save anything
