Unfortunately not, Alpha.

I was completely busy with taking out the Midway stuff:

But the time will come that I explore that room too....

I also managed to pick the Asteroids Vector-Display and cleaned it a bit.

BTW, I dropped you a pm, Alpha ;)

Wow a Tailgunner II cockpit is pretty rare I guess. Not too crazy about the gameplay though:

There's only one good solution to humidity: heating.

I think it is quite cool....thats a kind of graphic that is genuine video-gaming for me.....

I going to pack them all in the winter, cold air cant contain much humidity.

But anyways, everything is very dry now, I just want to go super-save.

ChrisChris sent me product that I can put in the games to dry the air....I did´nt go to far into it yet as I want to read when I have a silent minute....thanks at that point ChrisChris.

OK, one week out to my next trip (hopefully) and we are approximately at the half of the games on my list saved.

Since more and more games pop up I have to modifiy my list and I wonder since some weeks what of themany the Zaccaria-Cabinets should come with me.

I already took the Astro Wars as it was totally original and good in shape and I liked the Cabinet very much.

I think I also go for the Scramble as my mentor Nilfisk suggested so.

Problem is that a big part of that games there quite the same like

Astro Wars
Galaxian
Glaktron
Galaxia

and so on so I wonder what I should take with me, I think the Zaccaria Galaxia and the Jeutel Galaktron will be for sale as I already have the Namco Galaxian and the Zaccaria Astro Wars but I would be interested in your opinion.

Oh yeah... what a great sight it is to see these Midway babies in a row. That KI looks to be in pretty good shape, is it working... most of the time the HDD (is fixable pretty easy) or/and the boards are bad :(

Some fine looking artwork on some of the MK1s also

Sir, I will send you a pm with a link to a detailed list of pics and informations about every single Midway....it cost me 1 and a half weekends to do that. If not all are get picked I contact you anyways...but how I stated, I know another vendor that got a KI and MK......

I would first pick the one in best condition (shape and function).

Galaxian is a well known classic, while the rest of them might be less boring...don't know them so good...

Known classic originals are always good. Rare beautifull cabs are more my thing. The ones that have nice artwork and no waterdamages. The question is how many will you store and how many will you use. Are you going to set them in a gameroom or will there be a roadtrip/warehouseraid at your place in twenty years?


Personally I would take cabs that I can setup, maybe a/b quality cabs if the price is low enough just for the sake of having them. Any other cab i would make sure collectors that restore them get them for the lowest price, then it is interesting for them and you will be written down in the list of arcade heros. On the other hand you can just dump them all on ebay and make money (or not)  :P the money you can donate to the Laszo Arcade Trust  ;D

I gave 2 cabinets to Nilfisk
2 to my friend martin and
1 to Hannes, the owner of the house where I store the games
13 to my friend Thomas
and 2 more go next week when Nikos takes his ones from me

....so I should be written down to the list of arcade heros....  ;D

Meanwhile I picked some of the other games, they are all paid but I always make one run since the place is far from me and the storage in exactly the other direction:
