indy jones cab drool and spsce harrier wtf , best find ever )

 

[Morty]

Another great job of saving some super desirable cabs, its the stuff of dreams

As for how you get these leads, I recon you have GCHQ monitoring peoples calls.. any mention of key words like "old arcade cabs", "best throw the lot in the skip tomorrow" and the alarm bells start ringing

Keep this pics flowing to cheer up a Monday morning

 

[griffo83x]

wow, i thought finds like these were gone now, awesome

 

[Nintendo Arcade]

I find it quite astounding that these 80s classics have been left like this for some time,sort of games you would find state side only.
Very exciting stuff

WOW - Oll´, you kicked the crown of the roadtrip-king from my head with a jumped-in 540 kick with that find, I am curious if my upcomming trip will beat that...but I heavily doubt it

Just because a game has been badly water damaged doesn't mean there can't be parts that can be salvaged.

After all I often give dirty monitor boards a good bath!

Hope that you could salvage boards,psus,monitor parts and more from those outdoor cabs!

Can you make a tutorial how to do that, please. Also how to wash tubes.....

 

[Big Phil]

I come out of a weekend of man flu, lying in bed doing nothing but feeling sorry for myself. I then wake up to this. AWESOME!!! This has brightened up my day no end!

I just can't believe things like this are still being discovered.

 

[Arch]

Congrats on another great raid, Oll! Eagerly awaiting pictures to brighten a boring Monday at work.

 

[philmurr]

I know there's a few hundred of us collectors who have a load of cabs, but it always amazes me that hauls like this are still found in lockups around the country.

Great effort by all involved

 

[Alpha1]

More updates coming today

 

[Bensonrad]

Great stuff, I've been waiting for this thread don't suppose an Irish Millipede was in there somewhere?

this! it's good to know that the right people could be reached so deals could be struck, instead of these pieces of history getting skipped.
