THE ROADTRIP OF THE CENTURY REVEALED - LOOK FORWARD FOR HUNDRETS OF PICS

[level42]

Man that made me laugh and I sure needed one !! thanks !


Let me dig up my pics....indeed it was the back door of my Joust....Ruud, the guy who build my gameroom and helps transport cabs every now and then is sometimes a bit impatient and he was while we were unloading....I couldn't support the cab just yet when he already let go....the backdoor dropped out and not only did it fall like a guillotine, it also actually has a goddamn metal plate like a guillotine on thee under side (to "hook it in" easily....).

That's why I always wear safety shoes from that moment on.....Etienne where's that picture with me with helmet, vest and safety gloves ?

My turn...the 'battlezone incident' !   





Back in 2007, after working on my Battlezone, I put the back door back... but I didn't put icorrectly ... and the back door falls like ...a guillotine ... on my big toe! Of course, I was working bare-foot... Dangerous hobby we have here, guys! 

Dont remember me....still cant believe that, after I broke my fibula, I broke a toe too.....

Did´nt update that thread for a while, so here what I picked at my latest visits:

Berzerk
Turbo
Arctic Gun
Flying Circus
a Gremlin Cab for a Frogger build

and next trip

Assault
Virtua Figther (had the car full of Midway-cabinets for a fellow-collector over on UKVAC, so I could´nt fit more.

Dont know whats wrong with that bloody image hoster....I tried everything to correct the tilted images...but no chance

This is slowely going to an end...all the dedicated 70's and 80's cabinets arw picked except 2 DX-cabinets which I have paid and will pull in the next days.
In the coming weeks I will take the one or other 90's machine and that was it then.

The 1 year of clearence time was quite a good estimation and it makes me a bit melancholic that soon my last visits are coming.
But until that day I will for sure have some more pickup pictures for you guys.

I made a break since I had a lot of work that did pay....but now I finish the storage of the big vendor.
Almost everything is gone....only some reserved machines for me are left...I think I make one or two further runs, than thats was it.

Yesterday I finally found the time mood the free the burried Tailgunner II cockpit. It was under tons of parts and cocktail machines, but I think it survived quite well.















and the european Konami Simpsons.
First I thought I take it just because its there...but meanwhile I look forward to the restoration, I think it is a fun game:







Next to it an Asteroids-Clone with small vector-monitor...13" probably. I took it for my pal Nilfisk who really became a friend of the year I share the hobby with him.

Next will be the SEGA Hang-On bike....and do not look forward to that task....
Since I Alpha 1 showed me an article that stated the european Hang-On machines where produced at the Atari-plant in Tipperary/Ireland and since I have no reason to asume that this unit is an exception I hope it also divides in 3 parts with the bike remaining on the middle section with casters.
Otherwise that transport wont be a lot of fun...
