Don't blame you for not taking too much on, it all takes time and effort.

That said a lot of storage unit companies do buy one one month get another half price or even free.
So if you just need somewhere to sort thru your treasure it might be useful and they tend to be setup for unloading bulky items easily. 

I had it all sorted for storage, was just waiting to pull the trigger. If I had been happier with the amount of straight-up-working stuff today, I would have gone for it. But seeing as I got to test stuff (even if only the basics), it helped me make the decision to pass on collecting it all.

But next time it will be a smooth run for raids, I'll actually know what I'm doing :)

Wait, are you saying you didn't take the OR????

That's right! Its destined for someone else, whoever that ends up being (whoever gets it should definitely consider giving me a punisher for the favour of sourcing it :p). Heres another couple of pictures from the very first time I was there. It scrubs up a lot better than my pictures suggest, its coated with dust.

Its sure going to be fun watching everyone fighting over that outrun
If you are not taking it
Better clear your inbox for all the pm,s :)

Oh probably! That's why I'll be passing the buck for responsibility on this (when the time is right!) :p

Also noticed a few other games today that I didn't even register before, nothing better than being allowed wander at your own pace :)

Edit: Which, in contrast to another couple of places I've been snooping, is a godsend. One operator literally wont let me out his sight. Just let me wander around your private property for hours on my own, damnit! Reminds me, I'd never seen a star trek cabinet until then, didn't even know there was a game made of it!mysticmonk2018-10-13 20:48:57

Glad i dont have any room i can see people falling out over the left overs
Happy you got the cabs you wanted sorted :)

Its totaly up to you but i would let the other forum members take the cabs that you dont want( not sure how your going to work it out though i wouldent want to do it)

And not let the shady retro arcade buisnesses that are just in it for the money have anything

If I could pull a Hercules on it, I would have taken it. But overall, just too much hassle I'm afraid. It will be a curious thing to see how everything develops with the stuff I left behind.

I appreciate you offering to help by the way, as well as everyone else. Like I said earlier, theres a few other things I have on the go where help might come in very handy (especially as I'm at full capacity now!).

But, in the best tradition of cliff-hangers, there is a legend of a place, packed to the rafters with hundreds of machines (not a typo). And If I track that down, it'll be a field day for all. It would make this latest little haul look like a single supergun in comparison. I'm getting closer to it!

Anything can happen, a blooming lightning strike could burn it all down tonight. But that said, I'll do my best to make sure it goes to the right places, ie forum when the times right. Fingers crossed, it will make an early Christmas for a few people :)

Wow, if I ever find a place like that I would literally take EVERY last part I could get my hands on,

I was like a dog chasing a car, and then I caught it! Its all easier imagined than done (which sucks). One surprising thing about this place was the lack of pcb's. Nearly a 1:1 ratio for cabinets. Makes me wonder what happened to them all (and I forensically searched today!). Probably a bin a decade ago or two ago :/

Oh its tantalising stuff. I have a picture of the supposed place, off the phone of an other operator from years back. Its indistinct and practically impossible to discern anything, but picture a darker version of the warehouse at end of raiders of the lost ark, the store room where they wheel off the boxed ark

Just have to find those TOP...MEN! :p (and no, not sharing picture!)

Come on then we all want to see what you have taken so far for your collections.
Surely you can show us pics of your haul that you have already collected?
