nice write and read... synonym9 and happy birthday for yesterday while i am on.

reminds me of when we had lions camp storage at rhyl our stuff got stashed like that......i still have boxes of fruitie buttons stacks of pcbs and some age old cabs.......... but sadly when it closed for good we lost loads of cabs ...at the time we had to prioritise the brand new stuff we had manufactured , and new pooltables and cd jukes, over old pacmans and donkey kongs etc.(mostly winfall jammas as there was over 150 of them just to start awaiting payment from winfall who was the slowest of payers) as it was mid winter and difficult to truck them anywhere else.(we crammed in as many as possible into the 4 holiday camp arcades we still had till space was used up)

great challenge and even greater to read of the rescue........ A FEW CANS OF FOAMING CLEANER and WHO KNOWS ?? the majority had visible keys and looked untouched ........... in the 80s i worked for associated leisure and thier depot at burton on trent was similar ... 70s pinballs far as you could see over 3 floors of an old mill building ....back in the day it was quite difficult to shift older stuff especially as colour and ECunigame / Zacc MGVS / everybodys JAMMAs took the markets by storm new games came out at several a week sometimes....i am not surprised a wealth of early 80s stuff of vids em pins and vinyl jukes got stashed . we all wanted jamma video music on CD and electronic sounding light up scoring pinballs .............. PROGRESS ?????????? !!!!!!!!!!!!

and anyone whos been around the leeds area at that time a clearing company called dial a deal (steve chris and bob ) amassed a whole floor of a warehouse just with asteroids and a few tailgunners lunar landers and odd b/w vector games

MAYBE IF I SHOW THIS THE MISSES ............ she will think my workshop is not so badly cluttered after all !!!!!!!

There are even games I have´nt postet yet....so there is still a lot of magic left in that thread.

A super rare Olympia Portraits, a japanese Galaxian, a Berzerk, electromechnical games....also a very rare Tac/Scan, a Hang-On fullsize bike and tons of other adorable games and that german fool Superully said I shall shall stop the thread because there is nothing "epic" in my raid. There are real idiots on the face of earth.

Well, it has been a quite a while, because - you know, I broke my fibula and then my little toe on the other leg.
Now that I can walk again it was time to visit the good old place again to pick some further games.

Since I only had one buddy with me and we was under time-preasure I could´nt make many pictures...but I have some for you.

First, some more impressions of the area:













Here is the fully packed van, usually I make 6-game runs, but due to the sheer size of Alca´s Flying Circus I only could run 5 games. I wanted to add the Atari Assault next to the Alca.
It is very small and seemed to fit....it did´nt, it got a big base-plate. And it is VERY HEAVY...which you would never guess when you look at it.



So, yesterdays list looks as fallowing:

Alca Flying Circus (EM, 1971)
Williams Arctic Gun (EM, 1964 say some, 1967 the others)
A Gremlin/SEGA (dont know what game is inside but the Head-On is so swallen, I will swap the cabs).
Stern´s Berzerk
SEGA Turbo Upright

Do you guys wonder that I asked about this game and if it starts its life as a dedicated-cab?:







The sideart does not look very generic.

It says you've used up your bandwidth limit and you need to upgrade to "Plus" (whatever that might be) to get more. I'm guessing they want you to pay them some money

make another account if you've used up your space on that one

I made it and can support some new pictures, not many at the moment but the weather gets better and so the time to pick the Hang-On bike and Tailgunner II is near :)

I am not sure if I postet pictures of the Berzerk, the Flying Circus, Arctic Gun and Frogger, I check it later, I continue with an Assault.
Unfortunately with hacked sticks

If somebody got something please tell me.





and a Virtua Figther, not soooo old but for sure a classic and one day surely sought after. I saw that machine in the Arcade back in the day:
