wow, what a stuffed warehouse. although i'm wondering WHY ON EARTH he's not selling what others are interested in. look at the condition of those games, the EM games are in real bad shape, everything's cramped up. he won't be using those games anymore, so why not just sell them off?
all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!

Don't you figure out that he's just like you and me. He got oppotunities to collect those machines when original owners where selling their business. If he didn't collect em, they just don't be there anymore.
Just repeat it a few times and you get tons of cabinet-flipper-jukebox gathered in one warehouse.

Yes, it's hard to believe but he's not an operator. He had opportunities to buy ...a lot of things ;)

That game was so easy to cheat on, all you needed to do was kick the cab and the disc would jump (or more probably crash the game lol)

Great find! I own a M.A.C.H. 3 myself, and love it. This is the only arcade game I do not keep on free play. While the game is on free play it does not have an attract mode. The game starts and keeps playing until all the ships are destroyed.

A great thing about the cabinet is you can play other laser disc games in it. Us vs Them is a game by Warren (Q*Bert) Davis. It is a parody of 1950's sci-fi movies. It is a lot of fun to play. The Us vs Them disc can be hard to find.

You can also play Cobra Command in the M.A.C.H. 3 cabinet. That is what is currently in my cabinet right now.

Was your cabinet heavy? When i was trying to get it in my house it felt like the bottom was filled with bricks!

I figured I was to young and was a bit paranoid to ask that very question LOL

Mach 3 is one of the LD games probably not really well know in Europe and in the amusement centers only some years

Ld players had lot of problems for maintanace

Game play is the typical Astron Belt style (beautiful graphics on the backgroud and pixel characters overimposed)


Congrats bruno,

keep it going

Ps= working?

Thanks for your comments  ;)

Unloading time  8)  :arrow:



What's this?

It's my 'Jedi trick' to unload 'alone' a cabinet from a car who has the 'ball' to attach the trailer...



... because the danger -in addition to make fall the cabinet - is also to damage the side if the 'ball' touches the side during the big 'slide'  :oops:

So I'm using an old luggage, a box (full of paper), and ... a part of the V2 carpet  ;D  :arrow:



Well, I hate to do that alone... but sometime, I just cannot wait ... like today  ::) :P Slllllllliiiiiiiidddddddeeeeee  8)  :arrow:



This is it  ;) I'm very happy, the condition of that cab is very good  :-*  :arrow:





Just few scratches on that side, located on the side art... but nothing horrible...



A TON OF DUST...



Now, let's put that cab inside my magic 'Arcade Black Hole', also called Nuno's Lair  ::) ;D  :arrow:



To do list :

- clean the cabinet, especially the bezel and the wonderful graphics located 'inside' the cabinet... around the bezel
- Find & put a monitor/TV inside the cabinet (I got the game without a monitor  :oops:).
- See in the Mach3 documentation how to wired the monitor (It's maybe not RBG because of the LD Player?)
- Test the LD Player
- Test the original boards

 :spaceace:
