Pure raid porn. What a crazy amount of cocktails!!!! I've seen pins stacked up like that but never cocktail cabs in such volume. Some cracking pcb finds too.
That Lordsvale is the nicest original one I've seen, the guy clearly looks after his cabs.

Oh cool stuff! Biohazard battle, great game 
the grey 20" pedestal jamma cab in the doorway looks like one of ours???? or maybe a pac as they assembled many of ours and copied them. that's what happened back in the late 80s early 90s but they survive still ...……. I am so glad that we cleared our original depot years ago ...that group of photos made me feel quite 'homesick' of what we amassed back then...……. almost much same stuff too...…

Great selection of PCBs and MVS goodies Jase. Keep up the good work
Great result of great legwork
Another cracking raid there, thanks a lot for sharing! I always say that there will still be plenty of stashes of cabs and pcbs out there.
Some of those cocktails look in fantastic condition! I suppose they had a pretty easy life living in guest houses.

How much are Rolling Thunder and Kung Fu Master going for these days? Asking for my bank manager
. I'd ask what you got them for but that would probably upset me

Any idea what the Op sold the OutRunners cabs for?
I'm not sure, I didn't quite catch it over the phone. It was either £400 each or £400 for the pair.
Flinnster said:nice work again Jase. Just the usual then hey?
Really hope both Outrunners went to the same person - its a game that desrves to br played linked up for sure!
Any joy getting any cocktails from him? I spy a nice little universal under the stairs...
Yes hopefully I'll be getting some cocktails.

The cab prices were on the high side, but I really wanted the Lordsvale. It's fully working and as it's from a guest house it hasn't suffered the usual arcade abuse.

Sadly not.
I wanted them, but they were priced high and the Op didn't really want to sell them, intending to put them back out on site.

I've found this now with plain jamma cabs, ops are wise to them taking money again on site so the sort of jammas you could pick up for £100 are now commanding 300-400 quid. Especially tidy midi sized cabs.

The next day I was still
buzzing about the Raid and couldn’t stop thinking about the awesome haul. I couldn’t wait to go through the boards,
identify the ones I wasn’t sure about and start testing them. However I also started to get a touch of Raid
regret, items I’d left behind, but really should have picked up. I definitely should have grabbed the Namco
Rally-X board. Also I’d left behind a
Sega Mega-Play motherboard complete with four carts, which I wish I’d picked
up. In the end I decided to phone the Op
and managed to arrange another visit.
When I arrived at the unit he
was in the middle of a big sort out.
He let me have another rummage
round the unit. On this occasion I was a
bit more picky and started to cherry pick through the boards a little bit
more. I think if I’d cherry picked on
the first visit, he may not have been quite so keen on me visiting a second
time round. It’s always a bit of a fine
balance.
There were various parts and
spares everywhere I looked.
Rod-Land, a fantastic single-screen
arcade platformer by Jaleco, was another top find.
I actually saw this board on
my last visit, put it to one side and thought I’d picked it up. I would have been a bit gutted if I’d got
home only to find I’d left it behind! I
also grabbed the Rally-X and the Sega Mega-Play board and carts.
I then had a better look round
the loft area as I’ll call it. The
lighting was poor, but I noticed there were some boards amongst the various parts. I started pulling out the boards and passing
them to my wife.
It seemed apt that in this
poorly lit, confined space, with PCB’s in all the nooks and crannies, I pulled
out an Aliens PCB! It didn’t take long
before my wife was running out of space to put them. I also managed to find Violent Storm, a
scrolling beat-em-up by Konami, which had been high on my wants list.
I’d only gone back for a
couple more and ended up with this lot!
With the boot loaded up, we
left the unit.
There was one Taito board I
couldn’t identify and left behind.
As we drove back to the
holiday park, I started googling and found out the board was actually Return of
the Invaders, released in 1985 and the third official title in the series. I’d never heard of it before and thought the
game looked pretty cool. We ended up
doing a U-turn and going back for it. In
case you’re wondering, yes I was testing the wife’s patience at this point!
At the end of the HoliRaid, I
re-packed the boards a bit better for the journey home. One cardboard box had boards stacked
vertically, and as I took them out I noticed they had been sitting on boards at
the bottom! The first board was WWF
Superstars boot, nothing too exciting there.
The second board was none other than Konami’s awesome shooter from 1983,
Juno First! I was so excited to see this
one, and I’m almost ashamed to admit I done a little fist pump!

return of the invaders is my favourite version of the game, each stage has a bonus round if you leave the classic octopus style aliens and kill everything else they go to the top and form into a boss that will drop a tonne of enemies before it flys off/you destroy it, i think you need to leave a minimum of 3 or 4 for this to trigger. great for racking up the score but you can also lose your powerup gun (theres 2 versions wide shot and speed) very easily due the the amount that gets flung at you, but you don't lose a life in the bonus roundjugemscloud2020-03-11 21:12:04
What an incredible haul of pcb's. Rod-Land is a superb find, I've never found one over here and ended up getting mine from Japan.
Amazing. It definitely sounded like you was trying the wife's patience
Did you tell her it all cost a tenner or something
I often drift off to sleep at night fantasizing about finding stuff like this. Good work, and a big well done to the Mrs for putting up with it all.
