A visit at CoinopWarehouse
« on: March 30, 2016, 10:26:35 PM »
Hi Everybody,

I visited the USA these last weeks, including a visit at CoinopWarehouse that everybody here probably know. Here are some pics of "behind the scene" I would like to share with you, who share the same container adventure with me.

Let's start with the main floor of the warehouse, straight after the building entrance, the "Show Room" :



Then I don't know how to show you the visit because the warehouse is a real labyrinth. The building is old and has rooms right, left, up, down... I lost myself there ! I suggest to continue with the "Scale Room", not far away from the Show Room. Very appreciated by Lloyd, he has a nice collection :



Sitting near is his jukeboxes crates collection, pretty nice to see such relicas from early last century :



More or less next door is the bowling corner :



A flying diver is here... Guardian of the bowling machines.



And if you continue, you arrive on a ground level, unloading section. Right now stuffed with pinball machines :





Then, I don't know how, I arrived at the arcade cabs storage :



Guess who has one there ?!?



Various machines found around the different rooms and the basement :









A wooden crate full of NOS Bally playfields :



A nice flyer stand, take some space but quite convenient :



Upstair are the offices and the most beautiful jukeboxes of COW, waiting for shipping:



This is their historic warehouse, I did not visit the new one. From the pictures you will easily understand why they don't have a clear picture of their stock, the place is full of rooms - all packed with all kind of machines. I really got lost there, and I don't even show you the loft full of thousand of spare parts.

To conclude, a special dedicace to our webmaster !


Hope you enjoyed the tour, and learned more about our partner CoinopWarehouse.

Valentin

So awesome....thanks for sharing the pics with us! :)

You didn't stumble across a Boot Hill, did you?  ::)


I'm still SURE that Lloyd would sell far more cabs/machines if only he could arrange to make a list of his stuff. At least of the cabs and pinballs. Not talking about the boxes stuffed with parts....

Impressive.
The merchandise stored there must amount to hundreds of thousands in USD...
Thanks Valentin.
Dreaming of a Namco Galaxian waiting in a barn for me... somewhere! A Nintendo Sheriff would also make me happy. And a SNK Sasuke Vs Commanders or a SEGA Samurai... Argh too many; in fact!
