Death of an arcade..

[Bensonrad]

Looks like a good place to get a haul, the parts stations certainly need pilaging....the whole racks will fit in your van I hope

Any old Pepsi/Coke/Walls Ice cream signs at all dude? I am after that sort of shizz for my games room.

Interesting stuff this Chappy. I don't think you realised, but you also found a replacement arm/hand combo for a pirate, of crude 80s Sci Fi film robot:

Blimey, that place looks like a treasure trove, when you say megalo is it the one in the for sale thread? If so that place looked really nice, shame they are pulling it down.

Whats with all this cowboy obsession & Milky, I must admit those pictures/wall art do look nice, he asked you for a picture, I'm surprised he never asked you to take down the breeze blocks carefully, pallet them up & send his way

Yeah dude, it's in there. I'm getting my dad van on Thursday as due to the end of the festival I can't get my mitts on a luton so will need to take the Megalo in 2 loads back to the safety of my garage

Great stuff, that is very good of you to go to all that trouble, I don't know what to say really, I never realised it wasn't a simple pick up job for Martin, thank you very much

I also grabbed this: although the guy with one eyue tried to convince me it was worth 2K

Probably got proded in the Eye with a big stick when he asked 2.5k for it last time! Did he also say, it came with an unused NOS Daytona Cab

It looks as though many souls have met an unhappy ending in that tech room.

If the guy isn't charging (or much) it might be worth having a look in those parts drawers. Might find some cool stuff, or might find rusty pulls

 

[retrorepair]

Yeah was gonna say grab the parts drawers. If a que forms for those then add me to it Even if I didn't get the parts, I've had a time of it just finding the damn drawers.

There was a place closed down near me years ago but just recently they cleared it ready for a leisure complex. Was sad to see the place all torn apart, and even sadder to see the machines they smashed to pieces (and paid someone to do it, no less).

 

[IDCHAPPY]

My main priority tomorrow is:
1. Grab the megalo for Indy

2. Grab The Duke pick

3. See if I can clear the repair room(if it hasn't been done already)

I was talking to the owners son today, nice guy, he remembers the place well too

The Duke has been saved

Some great saves today, the duke obviously being the main one but the megalo as well, just clicked on your facebook link & seen the pictures, I reckon its quite a nice "little" cab, cheers for the hard work

I'm not involved in the facebook game so couldn't comment but I scrolled down & burst out laughing when I got to the marvel vs capcom cab, blimey, it looks like he bolted his Mrs's ironing board on it to use for a control panel
