The Duke of Lancaster

[chuchunesme]

Wow, this is an amazing story! I was directed over from another forum to read about this epic raid. All I can say is great work and I'm glad this wasn't in the US or everything would have been smashed and covered with spray paint.

 

[Superully]

all the games are already sold to various collectors!

 

[ataritoobin]

Wow, nice work! So fascinating to see time period pics of some of the the games as well

I dig seeing so many Sidam cabs cabs in one place. Missile Storm!

[DABOSS]

I've just been made aware of the post removals and also account suspensions. It is most unfortunate, however this is about saving the games and is this is the most important part.

No games have been taken by myself to flip, i reached out to people that i know and we came together to save them. I only took 4 games - Asteroids, Galaxy Wars, Subs and Space Chaser. The others have all gone to collectors. Anyhow more on this later. Next update coming tonight!

I thought on the day that the amount of effort Oll has put into this raid is testimony to his unrivalled dedication to "VAC".

Oll your tops buddy keep up the good work.

Many thanks to Oll and Rav and everyone else who participated in this. It was an awesome day. I wish I had introduced myself to more of the people that I haven't met before. It was an amazing feat to have unloaded in the short time that we did.

Here is a short video that I took of the crane.
