Holy Shit!  :o

Same  :evil:

It's just crazy... how they can spend so many time to bring games on the roof, then destroy them, clean up the place ... and finally bring all that stuff to bin! What a waste of everything! Why not simply sold all that stuff for a couple of $$$ and make some people happy  ???  :o

I've actually done some business with Todd from TNT amusements (bought Suzo inductive joysticks and something else) and really, he is the nicest guy when doing business, extremely fast in shipping and honest as well (when something took very long to arrive he found out that it was shipped surface mail and instantly refunded me the difference in shipping costs).

But I just do not understand this. I know they say they are "junk"  cabs, but what they call junk, we (especially here in Europe) would "kill for"....

That Tempest.....what the hell was wrong with that ???  :twisted: :evil: :twisted: :evil: I see a nice firm cab....

Indeed, I kept hoping that one of those guys got tangled in one of the machines and drawn down. That would have been the ultimate revenge.

Pretty smart this, I just decided not to ever buy anything from www.tntamusements.com anymore.(and from the Youtube responses, there are more like me)

DO NOT BUY THERE !!!!!

I'm sorry to say that America is chock full of stupid people, and ironically, they are the ones with lots of money and time on their hands.  :evil:

a person who does something like that and runs a business with arcade machines at the same time has NO LOVE for the games, it's all about money for them!

Which is weird because he has a lovely collection of cabaret machines. He even has (or had) the Berzerk cabaret....

What a bunch of twats!

Surely there would be enough spare parts in those machines, especially the pins to make it worth while dismantling rather than completely destroying. Even if they weren't give em away or charge a nominal fee for them.

Stupid beyond belief!

see this ( ironic ) charity gesture at 1:34,  offering a destroyed display pinball to an amateur  ::)

it's the nearly same speechless insult so many times in france,   "ohh you were interested ?  damn, i burned a lot of them juste before you arrived"  :evil:    and while the others are so greedy that they sell you any old guts for $$$  (old things that don't deserve anything for valuable gaming !! )   

rarely we see "respectful professionnals" , thanks for them and their souls,   but shame on the others ,   as superully says,    no respect except for the $$$,   they could have sold food or water or anything, that would'nt have changed anything in majority ::)

"We have donated some 300 machines to non-profit organizations over the years, we have also "parted" out hundreds of games over the years also"    and the words following,   nearly  dont blame us  blame columbia blabla  (who certainly bought the pinballs)

it's so confusing,  like hearing sane people, justifying their lies as they act as fools  >:(

I also bought some pcbs from Todd, but from now I marked him as a jerk, no more business with these idiots! :evil:

I really don't get all the fuzz about that. He can do whatever he wants with his stuff, and how on earth could you expect a business to behave like a collector, that's just plain silly, wake up...
Sure throwing stuff from a roof is kind of stupid, but it's obviously a great way of advertising as everyone is talking about TNT now.
And generally speaking, if it's trash, it's trash, not every single cab is salvagable.

I thought it was quite cool - i've always wanted to throw a cab off a tall building and watch it explode  :twisted:

If so let me know, I'll be there to catch it.

If you like to throw a cab from the roof, i suggest this...

Its like a frigging Airplane, so it will survive  ;D

From what I've seen in that video, there were salvagable parts. Those could've been saved and sold.  As time goes by, It will be so very hard to repair or replace games. I'm sure at one time there were Computer Spaces chunked into a dumpster and crushed...  Regret that now???!!!!     Yes, "it is his stuff and he can do what he wants with it"  but it doesn't disqualifiy it from being stupid.  :?    Want good avertisements... How 'bout good customer service etc.

Knee-length shorts, sneakers, T-shirts, caps and beer-bellies. These guys are a style-implosion by themselves. Probably their brains did not grow as nature wanted.  :shock:

Sorry Blanka, but that's out of line....

The times I did some business with Todd he was excellent in communication and honest too. Prices were great for the parts I bought (mainly Suzo Inductive joysticks).
I don't like that people get judged by their outer appearance. Also keep in mind that "fashion" is different in various countries...not saying I would wear that but that says little about the person....

Yeah, its too generic. OMG, I just found out 90% of Americans dress like that. Must be serious lack in their stores. Dutchies are not the best dressed, but Americans beat everything. Maybe they should look more Mad-Men. In 1960's they were able to show some class! But the dressing and appearance of actors DOES affect the thing that I'm shocked about this video. If the Top Gear team had done it, it was probably fun.
