Beantin's arcade raid

[Big Phil]

I know a few of you will know the above name. He appeared on UKVAC months ago selling boards at reasonable prices and said he know of 100's more.

He got a little bit of stick and had a little trouble with the boards he sold so eventually stopped selling and passed on the operator information to another UKVAC member.

I can tell you now, he was telling the truth. Hundreds....and I mean HUNDREDS of game boards!

There is also meant to be a haul of arcade cabs but this is proving to be a little more difficult to get to. The ex operator is of a very nervous disposition. If we manage to gain access to the machines, they'll be put up for sale in the next reserved post.

Anyway, there were 6 of us on the raid today and I'm sure they'll all be posting images and video over the next few days.

There is no sound in the video. Windows movie maker is a bit rubbish too. Sorry for all the pauses....

Sad to have missed out on the fun Jonny (Beantin)

Maybe next time fella, if you can get me some classic late 80's / 90's games that would be cool

Jeez Louise. That's a lot of gear. Looks like Nad's garage. Only tidier and less cluttered. Well played.

Cripes. I think that's the biggest stash of pcbs I've ever seen.

Nice one Beantin
