I am nothing harder than you, I coul´nt sleep properly for weeks...the first weeks after the find I was very depressed as Osman said that some days after I visited the place another guy came and looked at the games, went through all the venues and made pictures for a friend (he himself was a pinball-purchaser).
Its not a good feeling to remember that time.
I was so angry and desperated and wonderd why 30 years long nobody was interested and once I found the place another guy came.
But now that 75 percent of the games are picked (and all the important ones) I am relaxed again
Also, Osman is kind of a friend to me now. I made a huge profit for him as I brought people who bought Zigarette-Spenders, Pinballs, Slots and such stuff.
He would´nt give any game to someone else than me anymore.

Fortunately yes, a friend got a house. He stopped within the building-process. It got windwos, doors, a roof but misses the heating, toilets, bathrooms and so ons.
He got a big garage and I can use all the space, even in the house..plus I get another small room, so no problem at the moment.
I had 12 machines even before that find with stuff as big as a Top Skater for example
top skater in the house. awesome

Thanks a lot, today we continue and go a little deeper in the clearing
Here are we in the misteryious room with the Tail Gunner II.
We clear some of the stuf to get room to move the cabs around.
My friend Thomas have bought an Earthshaker
One of the two Asteroids when I picked them out the dark make
Here is the Garage, I started to arrange the games very close to save some room, the Hang-On bike and the Tail Gunners need there space (did I state that I love the bike

6,50€ on eBay
But the day before I arranged the pickup I was in one of the last Arcades we have and what stood in front of me.....
a Top Skater.
I went around the cab and realized how big it is....and I wondered "what devil did ride me to buy this DX-Cab, its huge like a truck.)
It is devided in two parts and the truck that takes 6-7 normal cabinets could barely take one half of the TS....this is insane....and lovely at the same time
The nuttiness of the arcade collector. I salute you

Some guys asked for Midway stuff to buy via PM.
I have a guy that is interested in the second Space Ace AND all the Midway cabinets.
I
told him that I have to go there to collect them from together from all
the different venues, cleaning them and make photos and discriptons.
I calculated with 6-7 cabinets but it sumed up to 9....later we even found one more....so they are 10 in total.
The following video and pictures are the result of the weekend I arranged the collecting and are courtesy of my doll Martina
Here is an album with the pictures and sub-albums with every single game....there are also descriptons on the right side if you scroll down IN the subalbums

ianski said:Welcome mate.
Incredible find, must of been such a buzz finding these beauties. Euro Space Ace...
How I said, the fair not to get them all was not a nice feeling....but now that they are save its a great thing that I found that place.
ianski said:Yeah, in the short time I've been active on this site I've found it to be pretty amazingly great
It is indeed, should have found that earlier.....altough, the members I had problems with in other forums will also be here......I cant get rid of them
Back to the story,
here some pictures I did´nt post yet, here a photography of the second or third run
Here a game which I suspect to be an EM-game, but there is a similar game calles sniper that seems to be a black and white gun gallery.

Expect some more pictures tomorrow.
We going to pick a machine for my friend Nikos (a generic one for emulation) and some dedicated for my collection.
I can pick at least 6 machines, the agenda could look like this:
1- Nikos generic cabinet
2- SEGA Turbo
(I wanted to load already 2 times, the first time we realized that we cannot load it at the end, what we tried. It is that tall that it needs to be the first cab that needs to go into the van.
The second time I wanted to pick it we decided to take some games from another venue first as we were already there, so when we arrived the certain hall we had´nt the room for the Turbo and took another one.
3- Stern Berzerk
4- Super Invaders (a Space Invaders Deluxe Clone)
5- Williams Arctic Gun
6- Alca Flying Circus
and maybe we can fit one Game in one of the passenger cars.
You will get many pictures like always.
