hey guys,
we are in the basement :P
just spotted this for sale thread on klov (http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?p=2656505&posted=1#post2656505). spyridon wants to get rid off a few of his games and he's stating that preference is given to those purchasing more than one game. there are a few great titles in there and i think the prices are really fair PLUS the location of them is not too far away from thomas' east coast container location!
i'm definitely interested in the TEMPEST and the ASTEROIDS DELUXE, but there are some other great titles in there as well. look at that frenzy for example ...
if you're interested, please let me know via pm, i've already started talking with him about getting multiple machines. please don't contact him individually, it would make things complicated!
-
it's me again, DK and MAPPY are already sold to someone else, TEMPEST is on hold for myself and he's keeping the following games for "the europeans" until tomorrow, so if you're interested, now is the time.
:arrow: Frenzy $550
also available for Frenzy:
repro marquee $75 plus ship
repro metal control panel $140 + ship
repro side art $55 + ship
zzpu $175 + ship
:arrow: Gyruss $400 (I have to confirm, but I believe this has the high score chip save installed)
also available for Gyruss:
NOS CPO $60
NOS marquee $50
:arrow: Galaga $550 (with Galaga Enhancement Pack)
:arrow: Missile Command $650 (with new metal control panel and bezel)

Revenge of DOH PCB with high score save $100
Arkanoid Tournament PCB + Jamma adaptor $90
:arrow: Galaxian $350 (includes uninstalled side art, kick plate and cpo)
i had to react fast, so hopefully this is going to work out with thomas and his next container, but i'm pretty sure it is!!!

i will stick with the gyruss for now since i don't know the condition of the galaga.
thank you for bringing this up. too bad that i was too late for the dk.

i've inquired about the condition of the galaga! should have jumped on the DK IMMEDIATELY myself, because a game like that, especially with the D2K kit installed, would have been damn easy to resell. shame on me!!! :-\
as for the other stuff: c'mon guys, look at that frenzy! if i didn't already have a project cab in the back of my storage unit, i'd jump at it in a heartbeat ...
-
In all honesty I find that Frenzy very ugly. I hate the color and the artwork sucks big time. I didn't play the game enough to really judge it, but I have a feeling I prefe the simple style of Berzerk more.
And I'm totally out of space, in fact I have to sell another cab.
-

if it is in good shape and running propperly... i will take it. but we have to make that sure first. :)

for once i agree with you, andré ;) ;D especially when you compare the lame frenzy artwork with the masterpiece (although i like the orange color). but nothing beats the berzerk cabaret sideart :arrow:

no problem my friend, i'd G-L-A-D-L-Y take that lunar lander off your hands, just say the word and i'll come over to bring it home 8)

hrpfgrlll >:(
I want a Taito cab form y Elevator Action, but I really have no budget for one right now. The fact it's an Arkanoid CPO makes the dececision a little easier though :-\
-
galaga reply: It's average condition. Not restored and shows some wear. If I were keeping it, I would put a new cpo on it. Monitor is nice a bright.

what about the missile command instead? :)
this looks good as far as i can see it. is it still available?
-
missile command looks nice - AND it has that fabulous new silkscreened control panel which alone cost around 150 dollars. the price is really good, if you want it it's yours!

Haha, nice to agree for a change ;D ;D ;D
Yes that cabaret is A-W-E-S-O-M-E !!!
But even the regular Berzerk cabs looks a lot better, even though it's simple.

I don't think you'll like the price my friend :)
-
I don't think you'll like the price my friend :)
never know until you've tried! if you really wanna sell it, hit me hard and we'll take it from there! but it would have to wait a while, bought too much stuff lately :-[
-
Yes that cabaret is A-W-E-S-O-M-E !!!
i wonder why they did a completely new design for this one. does anybody know?

got it, but the problem is that thomas' buddy can only pick up 5 games at once and we have already reached that limit! Don't know what to do ...

collecting has become so damn easy since thomas is running his container business. not that i mind, because we would never have got all the games we have now and desired so much, BUT i somehow miss the thrill of the hunt - and roadtrips to unknown locations. it's a different arcade world now, but i'm happy to have been a part of the good old times :P 8)
-
I totally agree, first everybody was totally hyped up when some cabinet was found, now we can get almost everything we want, simply look in the US, pay and it will be shipped.
i am not saying that thomas is doing a bad job, absolutely not.
but i totally know the feeling you describe Ully
-
I can imagine the thrill, must have been very exciting. And the pricing was way better too I guess.
Personally, I'm really happy I was able to get a DK in my gameroom. That probably would've never happened by finding some hidden spot somewhere
-
the problem is that we ran out of secret spots... at least in europe. and since i am not that much into the universal and the japanese cabs... this is just an amazing way to collect and perserve arcade machines. i love the dedicateds and it gives me a thrill to see them in action.
personally i get a thrill with every cab that goes into my collection. there are still so many machines that i would love to own... and a few ones i would "kill" for, too. :)
-
I kinda agree with Ully !!!! (Wow, again !)
It is almost like mail-orderi g cabs now :)
I have nothing against it seriously, but I understand Ully's feelings. I also miss the part where people have to actually do something to get the cab nice, like woodwork or electronics fixing. Now it seems like people just pick the cherries that are in great condition and work 100%.
For me, that is missing out on at least half of the fun, and it is also the only way I can afford this hobby.
Again, nothing against it, it is just.....different. I don't think you will ever get an emotional bond with a machine without a sweet roadtrip story, hunting for parts and unexpectedly finding them and restoring wood or artwork. Yes, even if it takes me years.....it's the trip, not (just) the destination :)
-
Of course it's something different to actually "find" a cab, drive to the location, find other stuff there too, talking with the owner, drive home, open the cabinet, find weird stuff inside (we found a complete porn magazine-collection once). It's a matter of hunting and the unexpected.
I did that for quiet some time now and was always happy with my machines. There was a point where I realized that I will very likely never own a Tron or something special, but it was okay.
And of course it's also okay to have the awesome opportunity to own some special cabs from the US now. I mean, c'mon..! :lol:

i guess this is something that happened before I got interested in collecting cabs. i do understand that you guys miss this though I still find it hard enough to get what I would like to have. Of course it is easier now due to the work that Thomas does... but without this it would be virtually impossible to get a dedicated cab for a decent price in Europe.
-
the problem is that we ran out of secret spots... at least in europe.
surely we haven't!!! there are still so many places out there where cabs are waiting in secret locations, we just have to find them!!! but believe me, they are out there ...

man, andré, that's two in a row. has this ever happened before? kinda scary, isn't it? ;) :P

you told me about this operator... but he seem so to be a pain in the ass. guess he is not selling anything.
-

that operator is an a**hole (although he still has my dream jukebox). i'm talking about locations that haven't been found yet and i'm certain they are out there somewhere! like that abandoned pizzaria (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=3823.0) i discovered 1 1/2 years ago. or the "arcade hotel" or the duke of lancaster or andre's belgium warehouse or ... we just have to find places like that!

Oh no! So close :'(
hey, just because our van is full doesn't mean that Thomas' guy can't return and pick up the Mappy! Why not get in touch with Thomas and Spyridon and figure things out? If you really want it, there's always a way!!!

I bought some cabs from a young person, who discovered 6 cabs in a heating room from his fathers basement garage.
Spotted at least another secret one - details revealed in the near future :-)
And there was a barn recently with lots of 70's stuff - from a former operator.
But yes...in Germany I assume most places are now empty. There might be still some barns in eastern germany...and a few old operators still having some stuff. But not that many.
Maybe in the netherlands there's more to discover :-)
