Barn Warehouse Raid - 28 July 2013

[drip dripper]

Well 2 machines from there have been dropped off at mine this morning by Andyman

Alot to buy just to get some 3D glasses, but when you have the Continental Circus original Cockpit it's kinda worth it. The game is totally awesome in 3D and sitdown with brake pedal and 4 speaker sound

The front one is the later re-released as Continental Circuit cab from the USA, so that was imported at some point

The Glasses won't fit straight on the Sitdown, but with some adjustments to them, I will make them fit and nearly have a complete working cab apart from rear marquee and light fitting

When Ol told me about the 3D glasses on it, I said let me know when as I will buy the cab. as it's not the most popular game, I thought I would offer to buy both if it helped out with the overall deal.

The USA one, has the same setup inside and my Double Dragon cab, same psu, interconnect board and cardboard with silver sheilding, which will be nice spares for that cab

Thanks for all involved in sorting out yesterday, Martin for picking up some of our machines and andyman for dropping them off today

More pics please everyone, I want to see all the cabs

<SNIP> PICS REMOVED </SNIP>

you mention andyman ? is this the same andyman thats on the other collecting forum , that has took payment for stuff and never honoured it , and folks are finding very hard to contact to get there stuff back etc ?

he must be on the up and up . good luck to him .

nice cabs

Here's your Op Wolf dude. The lower door is there - it's up near the gun. It should clean up OK!

Thanks for the pic, it actually looks a lot better than I was expecting

Is that the fabled Martin The Deliveryman posing for the camera?

Have you had chance to test your APB out yet? another quality classic rescued

That's Big Phil helping load it up in one of Martins vans.

Here's another. I didn't manage to get a pic of the artowork in front of the gun! It's behind the lower door that is in the way (make sure you get that!!) The artwork was in GREAT condition.

All the marks and dirt on the cab comes off. You may find you can clean up the gun really well, but you may want to strip and repaint.

The water mark is because there was a light rain as we were getting them out of the barn onto the vans.

Hi,

Great haul. Gutted I missed it. Did you manage to get a photo or two of my Twin Cobra? Would love to see what I bought.

Just had a look. Not a decent one unfortunately, but both Twin Cobras were the same! We opened all games to ensure they were complete, and your one was with a Taito PCB.

This is the best pic I have, hopefully someone has a more complete pic and from the front!!! It's the one with the hand on it on the left

 

[Alpha1]

Right I need to get one with some work now!!! I'll sort my pix out after 5pm!

 

[IndyJones]

Thanks again for the second pic, she looks really nice, cheers for your help & of course Big Phil/everyone else that helped load her up, everything is very much appreciated

 

[Bensonrad]

Great stuff, Bristolmartin - just how many cabs do you buy a week! you win the lottery or something

 

[simplesi]

Thanks.

 

[BristolMartin]

I've been asked that question twice in a few days. No I'm just very fortunate to have a good stream of income. (That I worked for myself before anyone makes any jibe comments!)

Nice Haul BM

Your little Games Room must be stuffed to the Brim by now

....

PS The Indy 500 I got from you is LOVED by EVERYONE at the shows...

It hasn't failed me yet and is played 24/7 at the venues.

To see a 2 year old boy standing on the seat & steering whilst his 3 year old sister doing the pedals @ NERG was just AMAZING

THAT'S WHAT ITS ABOUT

Thank you for sharing the pictures - everyone looks like they are having a great time

Yet another outstanding rescue. The cabs look so much better in daylight and everything looks fixable, (well the golden rule I guess is nothing can't be fixed!) Nice to see the Operation Wolf mini - I'm currently quite close to mine after spending a 4-figure sum on getting a complete working cab

.

If the new OP Wolf owner(s) are looking for a nice clean working gun (tested) with the 'press Start' sticker intact and a NoS optical PCB inside, then I'll have one coming up FS shortly as I scored a NoS gun this week.

I couldn't agree more.

4 figure sum getting your op wolf working, not surprised your close to it now, hope its fully sorted soon, I noticed there is a lot of talk about pcb's being troublesome, I will look out for your gun ad soon

After 2+ years, Oll finally has his APB =

You're just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off you.

Love at first site. Still in the back of the car at the moment!! Won't be able to offload it until tomorrow!

 

[RGP]

Awesome pics guys and what a weekend for the arcade community. Oll put a lot of hard work into sorting this out for everyones benefit and my hat off to all those who got there.

I got a very nice picture of my purchase sent to my phone last night, can't wait for it to arrive.

all round.

PART 1 BARN

The first part of this adventure was to meet in the middle of nowhere on a farm. Full of cabs. Win.

Rav and I got there before the Luton vans of Martin Deliveryman, forcefulfil and adebov. However what frightened all of us the most was adrian_pursar was the first ukvaccer on site! We actually phoned him about 9:30am telling him to get out of bed as we were driving past Newport, Wales only for him to answer FIRST TIME (!!!) and say he was driving past Swansea!!!

Anyhow here are the pix

First van arrives on the scene!!!

More Luton vans to fill full of arcade gear w00t!

All vans have now arrived, let the operation commence!

Big Phil brought a really handy torch as the barn was dark as hell!! However this time I came armed with a Nokia Lumia 920 with, if you watch the adverts on tv

, has the best low level light capture capability of all phones. The above picture is actually really dark, we could hardly see but this gave great exposure.

Ooooh, I can see my APB!!

Typical it is the furthest away, and the only cab I came for..

A much better pic of the Track & Field as it was found. This appears to have come out of Electrocoins factory as a dedicated - there's official Konami stickers all over it. Once such license seal is in the picture above on the glass monitor bezel in the top right corner.

PART 1 Barn continued

We had a mammoth task pulling out all the cabs and fruities that we didn't want to clear a path to get the games we did want out!

Here's Big Phil after pulling out a BAS JAMMA cab. I think there were about 3-4 of these, all had JAMMA boards in but we didn't take any. The cab behind had a P-47 Freedom Fighter marquee (inside out though) but had a World Rally pcb in - again this was one that was left and we stuck back in the barn after we got all our games out.

The first game we wanted pulled out! This is a PP1 mini. Most uncommon, most of the minis are PP2. We managed to do a deal to get a price knocked off the two minis whilst we were there to 'make one good one out of the two', as this PP1 had a JAMMA World Rally pcb in it. Adebox already knew this as I told him a few months ago, but he still wanted to tentatively take it just in case this 'make 1 out of 2' issue cropped up.

A most macho picture of forcefulfil after liberating a Taito Space Invaders (with 2 or 3 complete Taito L shaped pcb sets inside it!!!)

The 'no one wants us' cab list was growing as we pulled more out to make way for the ones we did!

More cabs we wanted loaded up! The DigDug had a CPO that looks like no one ever touched it. It is in really solid shape but is super cobweb dusty. It also was mising its tmolding which is why the side of the cab look a little weird - not sure why it was missing tmolding but luckily that's an easy fix!

Shot from the other side.

The Sega Hot Rod! The steering wheels have a load of mank on them but they will clean up REALLY nice! The CPO looks minty. Once cleaned up this should be a GREAT cab! And Rare too!

Not a bad shot for the dark! Rav and Ade standing guard. At this point I had checked the Twin Cobra and then it got carted off and loaded onto Martins van and I missed a photo opportunity. Doh!

Another pic of the games waiting outside! The mini PP2 can be seen here as well as the large PP1. To the right of them are some fruities we just kind of sack trucked into a bush

and the furthest away on the right is the Turbo Outrun! No one took it

Big Phil loading up the Operation Wolf

Another pic of the Operation Wolf as it went up on the Luton tail lift.

 

[Hurray Banana]

Amazing pick up. I wonder how many more of these arcade caves are still out there
