Beantin's arcade raid

[Jodo]

It was an absolutely amazing day; I love raids, I love writing about raids and I hope there are more.

For this one at least there is no more to come from me personally beyond what is written above.

I hope that people enjoyed the read

Brilliant day full of laughs and surprises but it all started with sausage.....

Great last part, so was this the same op (person) as the first place you visited?? As you all loaded up on PCBs there, so bit odd of the op not to then allow others in the final room to be sold. Saying that the ones he was selling there would have kept me very happy, Outruns and paperboy/Champ Sprints!!!

If you ever go back, ask if he has any old Ice Cream signs, I am really after one for my games room. (an 80s one).

Its fab that he has so much there and all catalogued, makes you wonder why he is hanging on to it all though, maybe there really is a cab stash somewhere and all these PCBs are the back up ones.

Your write ups are brilliant !
I really enjoy them ,great detail and nice bit of humour
Seems to of stalled at the end though ,
We want more!
Suppose it's nice that the guy still thinks a lot of all those boards
And wants to hang on to them another while ,for whatever reason we may never know
Must of cost an absolute fortune to buy all that stuff ,you can only imagine his turnover at its peak

Just re-read this thread, still a great read. Any news on the rest of the pcb's from the fourth location and the rumoured 50 to 90 cabs?

No news at all on the cabs but at least one RAID! member is still in touch with the OP, so you never know...
