[guddler]

I'm in the same boat (no pun intended). Mine's at Ade's. Will be getting it very soon, possibly this week but more likely next (sorry Ade!)

No problem, I've got a little bit of space until mine arrive and before I have to bring my cabs back from work.

Likewise, mine hasn't arrived at HQ yet but I'll take a few pics when it does.

If you are interested in whats left, let me know. You could get a working machine with say 3 playing possitions instead of 6.

I am tempted to say yes, but I would have to let too much go to make room, and for a partial machine I couldn't do that.

Shoot me some video of the fixed machine running.

Karl, it will be Hawking it's way to you shortly, just trying to put the run together for later this week!!!!Hopefully.

Well my cabs have arrived in there final location (Well final until I fix them and get them in my shed)

My ultra tank is missing the back door and the power brick and I have had to keep it in my living rooms as the beast is to wide to get in my new warehouse so it will be the first to be powered up and fixed.

If anyone has a Dolly Parton pinball back glass please let me know before I spend over a hundred quid getting one shipped in from america

Better than it sounds.

Hi there, No probs, I'm not in any hurry; Hell, I haven't contacted you to arrange delivery yet

Didn't someone on J+ get given the Dolly Parton back glass by the ship owners when they visited the site? I may have misread a forum post but that's what I recall.

Yes but his wife wants it as compensation becaus she crashed her car on e way out to the ship and therefore will not sell. He's on here and we have been in contact.

I know of 2 others but they are in America and Germany so I will import one of these.

Guys, I've not been well for a while so I've only just logged back in to see this. This is the best post I've read in years. It's worthy of a TV documentary.

Well done to all concerned!

Greetings from Finland,

I'm the editor in chief of Finland's second biggest game focused entertainment site, V2.fi (and also a video game collector myself). I heard of The Duke haul a few weeks back and saw an opportunity for an article and an interview. It has now been published:

http://www.v2.fi/artikkelit/pelit/872/Kadonneen-arcaden-metsastajat/

Yeah, it's in Finnish. The title means 'Raiders of the Lost Arcade'. I have credited the photos as 'members of UKVAC', but if someone wants a more precise credit on any of the photos, please let me know.

Thanks,

and I must congratulate all who were involved for saving a big piece of gaming history and creating one of the coolest stories ever for game collectors.

thanks for the link!

Just had a view of the photo album and there are some interesting games in there. The Harlem Globe Trotters pin is a collectible game and the backglass looks really, really good.

I chuckled when I saw the 'Asteroids' from Siddam. You have to love the built in ash tray on the control panel. I used to have one of those but never did get it working.
