Hi there friends,
just letting you know that in the Czech Republic is for sale a huge lot of arcade cabs - mostly projects for collectors. The games are remains of the Muzeum Arcade from Moravska Trebova, what is closed for a longer time. I know this family a little and they got divorced. Owner of the games is now a lady and she is looking for somebody who should buy this lot with an advert: http://www.sbazar.cz/sbirkaautomatu/detail/15629530-prodam-sbirku-162-hracich-automatu-pinbally-videohry (http://www.sbazar.cz/sbirkaautomatu/detail/15629530-prodam-sbirku-162-hracich-automatu-pinbally-videohry)
All pictures are there:
http://sbirkaautomatu.rajce.idnes.cz/Sbirka_automatu_na_prodej/ (http://sbirkaautomatu.rajce.idnes.cz/Sbirka_automatu_na_prodej/)
All cabinet info is there:
http://ulozto.cz/xkyfUNY2/arcade-en-xls (http://ulozto.cz/xkyfUNY2/arcade-en-xls)
- Click on ENG flag in the top right corner, Download, enter the code and Download
It's hard for me to see the state of the games - we are collectors, we have to do something. This lot is too big for me, maybe somebody else would be interested.
She will be waiting for a buyer for one month and if she don't sell this, she will start to sell separately. I have asked how can we help and she answered when somebody is interested in anything from this lot, let's send her a message to email sbirkaautomatu@seznam.cz with the financial offer for numbers of games you like to buy. And if she don't sell this at once, maybe your offer for some game should be the highest.
I believe that we should rescue some machines. Thanks for help and patience.

That Monaco Gp cockpit was mine, sold to this lady a few years ago. :)
-
Interested in
asteroids Atari with monitor ,
Centipede cab
Rampage.
Ninja turtle
Let me knwo how, when etc
-
Would be interested in Boot Hill!! But not much money since the PCB is missing and the plastic inlay with the landscape seems to be gone as well :'(
And maybe Rolling Thunder for a friend of mine.
-
Wow !
Seriously interested in Zeke's Peak !!!
-
Interesting! :o
I did 90 cabs once, so this would be a nice next step from that :D
Looking into options to save the lot!
-
I'm interested
-
WOW!!!
And this DK cocktail seems to be waiting for my 4 board PCB...
-
nice games !
-
I am checking to buy them all and bring them back to Paris.
do that :)
-
Some cool stuff in there!!!
Space encounters! :-* :-* :-*
-
I am checking to buy them all and bring them back to Paris.
Do it.....as long as you stop by to drop that Boot Hill :)
Mannheim is near our place and it is exactly on the route from the museum to Paris...great opportunity to visit us ;)
-
Seems like the current bid is 18500 eur for the whole lot.
There is a huge fanclub of pinballs and Em shooters in eastern europe, I think they will push the price extremly high on these.
-
UK is looking to buy the lot too, let's try to work together rather than just push the prices up
-
This lot should be split in 3 categories,
Electromechanical
Pinball
Arcades
That would maximize profit for the lady while better satisfying potential buyers.
-
hmm Skydiver, 1943 and Punch Out.. pretty cool!
Hope you will get what you wish for guys!

This sounds really good.
Many nice cabinets there, centipede, Operation Thunderbolt, 1943... so many there what im looking for.
-
This is the most wanted for me:
1943
Space invaders
Sea wolf
-
Wow that is a lot of cabs.
Never seen a Nintendo Vs dual system upright in the UK or Europe
-
Hopefully we can all work together to group buy, it's a good idea to split it into the groups though!
Love express my interest in Zeke's Peak - if anything comes of this deal :)
-
I'm intrested in:
Mortal kombat 1 & 2 & 3 & 4
Killer instinct 1 & 2
These look nice projects
-

I was thinking the same...but then, look at all those newer machines. They seem to be in complete in working condition. This might ruin the deal for us retro collectors :-\
-
I don´t think that 18.5 is the last word. Plus picking everything up, which will cost a fortune, too... wow...
Honestly... I did not see enough classic arcade stuff in good enough condition for me to take part in this. Maybe for the pinball-guys this is a better deal. I don´t know...

Even the pinballs do not have the boards.
If all the machines as complete and working the correct value should be 30000 €, but with the missing parts and the actual state the value of 18500 is correct, but its only for someone that have space to storage, and time and patient to restore all the machines.
If i have a friend crazy like me for arcades (And with money) i probably make the deal, but i can not make the deal alone, its too much effort for only one person.

Hi guys, I'm happy you are spreading this article around.
Cabinets must survive! More than 150 not-dedicated cabs has been destroyed there because of very bad state - broken wood from water, crushed parts, destroyed monitors, controls and so on.
Fresh news: The lady got some serious buyers who want to take all at once, luckily mostly of them from guys who are connected to this forum, and that's great. All of them are waiting for transport quotation now and then she will continue with her to negotiate about the price. Her expenses were high, the price 18500 is right.
If you are interested in concrete game numbers, feel free to mail her, but she thinks this is not an option: When she sells separately, she could make a better profit, but for sure she will lost this in rents of a storage, because there will be cabs that nobody is interested in.
When I get some more info, I will tell you. Take care, Jan.
-
Definiteley interested in the Boot Hill!! Can somebody tell from the picture, if the plastic landscape is inside? You Boot Hill-Owners, does your complete Boot Hill look like this when it's switched off or can the landscape be seen? And if you open tha back of your cab, can you see the landscape from the point of view in the 2nd picture? I wouldn't mind a missing pcb, this is a part that can be bought and shipped but the missing plastic is a deal killer :-\
-
Very hard to tell from that picture Luigi, because there's a mirror in front of the plastic landscape.
So you can't see it at all when the cab is switched off.
What you see in this picture is just the reflexion of the joystick in the mirror.
Anyway, I'll double check with mine tomorrow.
-
i checked the one in my basement. it is impossible to see if it is included when the machine is not powered on I am afraid. :(
even if you stick your nose up the glass you can not see this freakin thing. :)
-
Thanks guys, keeps the hope alive, that the landscape is still there ;) I just wonder, if the picture from the back should show the landscape, if present.
-
Are there any forum members that are local to this sale? That they would kindly go to view the machines to see if they're worth all that.
-
When you are looking at spending 25k euro you better take the plane to check by yourself.

Of course :o
Is that the sum of money that's be spoken of for these machines?
-
I recommend anybody who is thinking of buying this lot to see it personaly before! You must be sure what you are buying and also the owner says that she welcomes this.
-
Looks like a bunch of crap, but I like crap ;D
Buy them for 25k, and fix them for another 50k, better buy some nice cabs you realy like.
-
Yes i think ;D

-
But I wouldn't mind the zeke's peak though ;D
-
Ahum...........
Wow !
Seriously interested in Zeke's Peak !!!
-

Everything Tyrem wrote +1 (sorry about the delay).
All you can tell from the pics is that it has the tinted mirror.
+ you can't really tell if the landscape is there even when the backdoor is opened because the backdoor is located at the bottom of the cab (see pic).
All you can tell from the rear view is if the plastic bubble is there or not. (that's like a shell protecting the plastic landscape).
The only way to tell without powering it is to take a picture very close to the window with the flash or while holding a flashlight towards the landscape.
-
Anyone on here got the Zeek´s Peak?
-
If you follow UK forums, they alreday conatcted the owner lady and everything started to be a comedy. :D
There are approx. 5 guy want the Zeke's Peak for example.

@Chris: Thanks for the effort, mate!! :) So it's a chance of 50:50 if it is there or not.....I contacted the lady and asked if she could take a closer look.
PS: I forwarded your offer and think I will get an answer today ;)

Thanks for the link Bela, it's a good read... and a weird story for sure.

Anybody involved in the deal here?

nope. not me. i knew this would be really complicated and i thought that everybody would go for the popular stuff anyway.

I'm the Euro mainland liaison and will organize a pick up point for all cabs not going to the UK

Interesting :) where is this going to be?
I was hoping that the trucks could make a short stop at a service area in Germany where I could pick up the Boot Hill (if I get it, of course) but it seems this is not possible :-[
-
I made a offer. But it is not so clear what is still open and not.
-
Nope, as I found out the one that I wanted was all ready spoken for, I pulled the plug..

any news on when the cabinets are being shipped and what the leftovers are?
I have some interest in leftovers maybe ::)
-
Bad news >:(
(http://members.home.nl/mcj.kerstens/Czech.png)
UK guys put tons of effort in this, such a shame it didn't happen.
-
And another Boot Hill slipped through my fingers :(
Well, money rules the world, as we all know.
Sorry for all the work the guys had already put into this and Thanks for trying!!

Consider it good news this kind of 'deals' will only bite you in the end.
-
i thought that the asking price was insane anyway. just too many cabs in questional conditions.
-
Yeah, at €18k this was a break even deal (at best), main goal was to save the lot and get the cabs in players/collectors hands. Wonder what the new buyer will do with the lot
-
.... Another great example that "the money makes the world go around"
I guess a "a word is a word" didn't mean the same to the gipsy queen as it does to most of us.... :ghost:
-
Anyone who pays 18k in cash can come over and pick up all my machines today.....incl. all the spare parts and test equipment....OK, it's not 162 machines :D
:o ::) :roll:

no way i give my stuff away for 18k. :D
-
You have much more machines than I do :)
-
Finally the buyer paid 24k, kept the pinballs and sold the rest as a lot.
As there were no pcbs in most of the cabs, this was a really bad deal.
-
Where did the cabs go?

I could buy this DK cocktail if it was for sale at a good price :)

Where did the cabs go? Jesus he only wanted the shitty pinballs?? ARGHHHH.
He could have gladly had them
-
The world is going crazy. :D
-
He sold the vids and other cabs to an idiot, who wants to make an arcade museum in Budapest, but know nothing about arcade games.
I'm really curious, how does he want to find the missing pcbs and restore all the cabs without any knowledge.
I already tried to catch the Boot Hill to Luigi, but he does not want to sell anything.
I think his opininon will change in a few months/years, if there will be any news, I let you know.
-
Hope the guy don't do anything "heretic" like throw away CRT screen for LCD or hack wirings with PC...

Most of the cabs, at least the old woodys, are not good for such changes....I hope he knows that :-\

They'll surface again I'm sure. I can wait...in the meantime I made an upside down Space Ace for the current owner. (http://i64.tinypic.com/2wlzwy8.jpg)
