Guys, the time has come that I need to say farewell to most of my classic games, for several reasons. That's why I put all games but Crazy kong and Moon Crest up for sale, including a bunch of spares (monitors, art, etc.).
Here is the gamelist, with some details per game (All SOLD):
1. A very, very nice DK, nicest one in Europe, ;D with the DKII Romhack (http://www.jeffsromhack.com/products/d2k.htm) and a second PCB with the DK/Paulina romset from Jochen. Also some flat T-molding that I didn't install yet and other spare parts (mainly coin door related). I installed a brand new NOS bezel last year.
2. A DK cocktail game (licensed by Nintendo) that needs serious attention but has the rare original 4-board DK PCB (working status unknown). It comes with repro CPO art, made by Etiènne.
3. A very nice Galaga, 100% working and in good condition, with extra artwork set from This Old Game (Side art, kickpanel art and CPO). It comes with an extra PCB that needs a repair (keeps rebooting).
4. A very nice Joust, 100% working (after I swap out a faulty RAM), it already has the 4164 RAM modification, it has a superb WG WGZ1973-U2GS14H monitor with an as-new picture, the batteries are replaced by a 3V CR2032 cell battery, spare marquee and a set of art stencils that I bought from André a while back.
5. A very, very nice Juno First, in good condition and 100% working. Great game.
6. A very nice Gyruss, 100% working. This is a wonderful game. It comes with a spare game PCB and a HS save kit that still needs to be installed.
7. A very nice Centipede, good looking cab with a 100% working game. I also have a spare PCB for it which needs repair (onscreen garbage) . There were some smaller damages on the laminated frontpanel that I smoothened out. I have black laminate for it to put on, so the cab will look like new again.
8. Qix, the cabinet is in decent condition, the game is working but the old WG monitor needs attention (screenfield was narrowed), probably a daughterboard issue. I have a repro CPO for it (from This Old Game) and a second Bezel or marquee.
9. A very nice Pac-Man, with a NOS WG monitor with beautiful picture. I also still have the original WG monitor, which died on me, again probably a daughterboard issue, so repairable. At the moment I have Mike Doyle's 96-in-1 Multipac installed, so lots of games. It has a NOS marquee and I have a complete set of stencils or the whole cabinet, bought it once from a KLOV member. There is also a Multi pac-man marquee (see the froum somewhere) and a repro TOG CPO waiting to install.
10. A tempest which is in great condition. This cab is a real beauty, although if I would have kept it I would exchange the CPO and the marquee. The game is complete but not working. I think that it is a monitor problem and I have the monitor for repair at Andre's place (will he still?).
11. A beautiful Black Widow. This game is very rare and you won't find another one in this great condition. It was 100% working until one day the monitor picture collapsed. This monitor is also at André for repair (and the same ....).
12. An ugly Nintendo VS, at least ugly because of the green color. However I already removed some of the paint and under it the orange color of the original DK Jr. cab shows up. The cab is in great condition, but will need new side art. It is 100% working and comes with two games, VS Super Mario Bros. and VS Dr. Mario. SMB has a freeplay rom installed and has a marquee. For both games mirror-printed bezel artwork present, they just need to be installed on glass (also present). for SMB also some original docs are present.
13. A very nice Breakout, 99,9% working. Nice game with some history as we all know. The front laminated panels could use a new fresh black laminate, but see below for that.
14. A Ric-o-chet which is in great cosmetical condition. This is like a 4-player pong. The game is working, but with a distored gamescreen. The monitor, which acually is a 1967 BW TV (!!) needs repair or replacement. But the cabinet is in excellent condition and complete.
15. A very nice Asteroids. The cab is in great condition and 100% working. I have the HS save kit installed. A real beauty.
That is it for the games. For most of them you will find pictures (at least, as long as photobucket isn't killing the links!!!) and more details in several topics on the forum.
Additional I have:
- a second NOS monitor (the same as the one in Pac-Man), still in box
- a spare BW vector monitor (Asteroids)
- some other spare tubes
- a 3 meter role of black laminate (for the Atari games like Centipede, Breakout)
- originals manuals for about half of the above mentioned games
- some smaller stuff, like coin inserts etc.
- stepdownconverters for the games that need it.
That's about it, as you see quite a lot of stuff. When this is all gone, then I still have two Zaccaria cabs, Crazy Kong and Moon Crest (and a High Speed pinball). I'm keeping these two because they are are pure youth sentiment. And this is not an Exit, I'm just trimming down a bit. :D
Now comes the important part, I don't want to spend too much time and hassle on selling the games, so at the moment I am only open for offers for the whole collection and parts, not for individual games! I have also approached a few collectors outside our community because I don't think that there will be many interested here for the whole lot, most of you already have more than one of the above listed games, but I feel obligated to inform you all and give you an opportunity.
If you are interested for the whole collection, then please send me a PM with an offer. And I can't hold on the games for too long. If I fail to sell the whole lot in one deal, then I might later be open for individual offers.
And I don't know if you know someone with love for Japanese Candy games, but also for sale are:

Damn Eric - what's going on?
First Andre and now you :ghost: :(
-
I was pretty sure, that André's decission will start the avalanche. >:(
-
:( guys... you might sell your stuff... but you are not allowed to leave the community. please!

I have been contemplating selling most games for a long time now, they just didn't get the attention that they deserve. Besides, sometimes real-life kicks in a bit harder than you can handle. I had the guts to already sell some games (6) last year, am impressed by André's decision and action (he too was reconsidering the hobby for a long time now) and thought to myself "well, if André can do it, then why can't I? :).
But I'm not leaving, just selling 'some' games. The ones that I really have fond childhood memories of, CK and Moon Crest are staying. Moon Crest(a) is a great game, IMO, I played it a lot back in 1980 and the Zaccaria cab is a real piece of art. The same goes for CK, I'm working on CK's sideart now, so that the cab will one day be as awesome as Moon Crest.
In fact, I think that I will get a bit more active again on the forum now I only have two games to concentrate on. :) And I will always have a game to bring with me to the next Eurocade party! :spaceace:

My friend, the owner of the hungarian pinball and videogame museum will contact you soon. ;)
Keeping Moon Crest and the Crazy Kong makes you a Zaccaria collector. :D ;D ;D

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Good to hear that, ckong.
If that crazy kong on eurocade17 was yours, then I played it a lot ;D
And yes, ZZZ cabs are really a BEAUTY!

That place has more pinballs and videogames from the 1950's until nowadays, that all the european public arcades together. :P :-*
-
You have to see it! It's a wonderful place, and the owner is one of the nicest person I've ever known.
Mostly pinballs, but growing arcade sections: http://www.flippermuzeum.hu/en/ (http://www.flippermuzeum.hu/en/)

Hello. Is there any way to have pics of the cabs?

Yep, they are all over the forum. Search by name of the game, and topic starter (ckong is the name, and also a great game). :)

;)
-
Allrighty, I didn't think that it would go this fast, but at the moment I already have two offers for the whole lot, one is actually pretty good. Let's see how it works out in the next week. Am I :) or am I :'(

Speaking for me, every time I read a topic about someone selling their cabs, it just makes me want to hold on to mine even more ...or even buy new stuff, to keep balance right and the Arcade Gods happy.
Your gameroom and your games selection have always been an inspiration for me.
So to be honest this topic makes me pretty sad... but I'm sure you've thought a lot about it and I wish you the best in a true arcade lifestyle way ;)

Hi, I'm very interested to Quix, Tempest and Gyruss, I can have information for price? Thank you

Collection means collection. ;D ;D ;D
-
Hm, that went pretty fast, sold everything today :-\ :-[ (pending payment). Still got CK and Moon Crest, that are not for sale. These two will from now on be my little 'Arcade'. Still nice, with the High Speed Pinball to join them, and a Mame cab with a true 15K CRT of course. The two Candy cabs will also go (sold the New Astro City already yesterday).
-
Congratulations...... I guess??
I bet you have diversed feelings about it but it will all be good in the end... Now you have the money to start a new collection :D
-
Damn! - hate to see you do this, but totally respect you choice!
Have been a little off the forum lately, so missed the Blast City :-\
Hope to see you around still!
-
I will still be around, I still have two Zacc's. And the Blast was sold and collected today. I'm happy and a bit sad.
-
Well, earlier this week I sold the Blast City in a matter of hours. Sale, payment ans collection in one single day, I had no time to think about it. And today the second Candy, the New Astro City was sold, will be collected next Tuesday. No Candy anymore. ::)
-
No Candy anymore. ::)
at least SOMETHING GOOD came out of it :P
-
I was waiting for it...... ;D ;D ;D
-
Surprise, surprise. :)
-
:( guys... you might sell your stuff... but you are not allowed to leave the community. please!
;D
-
No Candy anymore. ::)

You know nothing, young man ;)
-
Finalized collecting and packing all the games and parts that I sold, ready to be picked up any day now.
-
But not this one, ckong stays, together with Moon Crest and the High Speed pinball.
-
I clearly remember playing Galaxian at your place on a sunny morning and thinking "this place is awesome"!
Oh well, enough with my cheap nostalgia, I'm just happy that you now have more room for your creepy doll collection...
:-\ (oops, sorry was that supposed to be kept secret?).
-
LOL
-
That is creepy indeed
-
;D
-
;D ;D ;D
-
That Pinocchio doll is freaking me out!! :o
SERIOUSLY! ;D
-
Today was D-day, or as it will always be remembered by me, The Raid on Ckong's Arcade (RIP)
-
Emptyness :'(
-
But it's still hardcore with the games that remain! Biggest arcade in our village (1400 people)!
And I now have room to expand the collection! OH NO!!

Why does this remind me of a Eurocade.....
:-\
-
I thought exactly the same this afternoon. How many times have we loaded and unloaded a bunch of games in a van. Often, not only for eurocade. I remember a trip with Gyruss to the UK with lots of games, one to Paris, a short trip from Paul 50's, the Belgian warehouse, etc. But the best by far were our Eurocade trips. I will miss them. :spaceace:

Nice DK Table ;)
-
kinda sad to see this, did the games stay in the country?
-
Yes, my whole collection, including the games that I sold last year, went to one buyer in The Netherlands. He says he is a collector, until now mainly in pinballs, but he also wants arcade games in his Mancave. Must be a huge mancave! Well, now he has the nicest classic arcade game collection in The Netherlands. And of course all the effort involved with it keeping them running. He invited me too come and play my games someday.
There is a Pleiades for sale on MP right now, and I briefly thought, what the hell, is he selling my games for business after all? :o But after a close inspection I concluded that this is another Pleiads! Pfew. ;D
-
Mind f**k: as we have many cabs in common, (I even have the same Wells-Gardner box from the group buy) it looks a bit like it's my collection leaving for somewhere :shock:
Make the best out of that scaringly empty space Erik, we count on you!
-
LOL
I would check your storage!!
-
But it's still hardcore with the games that remain! Biggest arcade in our village (1400 people)!
And I now have room AND MONEY to expand the collection! OH NO!!
;)
