Okey, so here is the story you all have been waiting for.
Thanks to RogerXy for spoiling
We started quite early on Saturday morning, we planned to be on the road 05:30 but I overslept a few minutes, got poked by an eager Kralleman around 05:40, at 06:00 we started out at the closest gas-station.
Then we picked up the trailer and headed north towards our Capital.
Roger took the wheel the first 90km, then Kralleman took over and instantly broke the law by talking in the phone while driving (quite new law here in Sweden)
Roger were happy in the backseat surfing som porn or whatever he does with his tablet all the time.
Early in the morning the roads are empty and there is no problem to drive a bit over the allowed 80km/h
Roger took one of his powernaps, I dont know hos many pictures I have of this man sleeping... creepy much I suppose
Did not take so many pictures on the road, so here we are already at the sellers place, the guy reflecting in Canyon Bomber is not the seller, he is another collector that had som business to settle with Kralleman
After som smalltalk we started to load the trailer with the three cabinets, The seller reminds me alot of The Dude from Big Lebowski... which OFC is a good thing
This storage was jam-packed with car-parts, pinballs in need of work and a few arcade games
I helped out with the next game
Kralleman helped out with the last game
He give me a tired look
Like a walk in the park
Superbug had a loose PCB thata kralleman decided to take out and have in the trunk of the car instead
He was more than Happy with the pickup, and the seller was happy to have som more room for his other things
Some other cool stuff he had in his storage
Inside of Sega Hockey TV, not played that much in 44 years, only 0,18 credits per day...
The seller drove a black Jaguar with a "I love Pinball" sticker on the rear window
Due to Stockholm Marathon we left the car and trailer in the outskirts of Stockholm and took the subway to meet up with a fellow collector and with the Author of a new book about the Swedish Arcade History.
The book is awesome, maybe you can recognize the games on the front cover?
I dont know what Roger is doing here, but had to share the picture
On the way to our next stop it started to rain, thank god we did have roof on the car.
On the second stop I took no pictures at all, but I can share pictures of the two games I picked up, both are built in Denmark, one is a Cherry F1 (the one with marquee) anf one is a JK F3, theese were universal videogame cabinets, but alot of them (like these) have been converted to poker games...
On the homestretch it got quite narrow qith the trailer, but Kralleman drove like a king
Finally back in the warehouse a put the three games together for the first time in god knows how many years
Well, thats it for this time, I have to take better photos in the future, we had a great day anyways and were back in my home around 22...
