Some weeks ago I was on a roadtrip and to call it a success would be the understatement of the century!  :shock:

I dont want to go in depth of what I have seen there and there is still some stuff under covers or in the middle of cab-rows hidden from my eyes.

I saw stuff that I did´nt expect to be available in Europe....to pick everything I am after will be nightmare and I will need every friend that want to give me a hand.

I only made some videos as time was a problem.
I will document everything closely when the times comes, for now I made some screenshots from mysterious stuff and I hope you guys bring light in at least some of the machines I have seen there.

Since they are screenshots of a video they suck in quality, but that makes them even more mysterious  :wink:

Like always I add a link to a photobucket album as posting images here is a pain in the ass, I hope you guys recognize something:

GREAT nest you found there!!!
A lot of work ahead but a lot of fun too. ;D

Lot of unusual euro cabs in the style of the ones documented in Andrė's thread here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=76571.0
Or mine here: https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=2115.0

I had never seen a Portraits (by Olympia).

That box on the floor with white stars in a blue stripe could be the pin Harlem Globetrotters on Tour (Bally).

Thanks Etienne, its hard to keep the secret until the day that I pick them, but I let you know - there are plenty of Zaccarias there.

I have bought one two weeks ago and would like to know how desired they are?

Is the Olympia only rare in Europe or in the rest of the world as well?

HAHAHA, I see Marco  :lol:....but I am that kind of breed that want to safe all games.

That certain Zac and my Hang-On are fucked up cabinets, not many people would keep them alive....I do  :roll:

That Portraits seems to be a cute little game, I definitely will keep it:

Chris, there are many Pinballs and another guy that I visitet also got at least 40 pins but I am not into them as it seems to be even more complicated to restore them than the arcade games.

At the guy with the 40 I saw pins with their coindoor said 50 Groschen, thats from our old money and is less than some cents, I guessed it from being at from the 60´s.

I wanted to help the guy to get rid of the pinballs but I found out that pinballs without DMD are not desireable for the pin-heads....

I can make some pictures of the Harlem Globetrotters for you of course.

When the time comes I got the have a conference with Nilfisk as he is Austrian too and I promised him to be the first guy to dig through the stuff.

There are 4 at least with different titles, I recall at least 3 titles I have seen but dont want to go into that at the moment, nobody knows what happens and I dont want to dissappoint anyone.

What about the other stuff.....for example the Super Sniper (cant find anything on the web) and the cocktails with buttons only.....?

Honestly, I appreciate your offer Sir, but I dont think that I enlarge my hobby to pinalls, its too much to learn for the arcade-machines and maybe some redemption machines.
I dont think that I could test the pinballs there, so I would have to pick them untestet....which makes it more expensive and storage-consuming....I think I let the pins for someone else.....

I still would kill to know what the tron-shaped machine with the missile on the side is....
