If you guys remember "The Jukeboxshop" in Vlaardingen, The Netherlands......
it was where I once saw a lot of about 6 Nintendo red tent tables (but failed to see their value :( ). Later I found a Night Driver for Ully there and later a Zaccaria cockpit machine which went all the way to the US (to Paul Swan).
Other members had some poor experiences lately there.
Any way, they went belly-up, there is an auction planned for the inventory so if you want to score something.......
Be warned though !!!
MOST of their machines are in pretty poor condition.
Exceptions:The Atari Road Riot dual machine is still there and I played it (some months ago) and it was fully working and in nice overall condition with good monitors.

Some of the Jukeboxes that were in the "shop area" _are_ in nice condition. The one's in the "warehouse area" are in very poor condition though.....
Here is a linkto the auction site:

I remember CKONG might wanted a nice diner for his gameroom so this may be a nice chance. Problem for me is that both "viewing day"and pick-up days are on regular working days between 9.00 and 16.00 h.
Anyway, I'm not interested in anything so I thought I'd share this, maybe some of you guys (Robin) are interested :D
ALSO BEWARE !!! =>> There is a 16% premium over the indicated prices and over that total 21% VAT is added. Here is an example calculation:

As Anunaki mentioned:
I called to guy, they are closed and can't sell stuff anymore
there will be a auction
Great find nevertheless! I think i might check them out on monday as it's 20 minutes from where i live ;)
Most of the stuff that is showed isn't really that great. Guess they sold the good stuff during the years and got their funds stuck in these leftovers.
-
those life size statues are so lame. Blues Brothers, indians, statue of liberty whatever. No wonder they don't sell
the only dedicated cab I see is Battle Shark?
-
I went there a couple of times to drink a cup of coffee and chat a little
I got some great PCBs there, but most of the stuff was garbage or not my taste at least
-
Some very interesting pinballs, though. Would very much like to have the X-files or the Space Shuttle.
Too shame it's in another friggin' country :'( :P
-
the GI looks pretty good allthough it isn't turned on in the pictures.
-
If somebody is going please check if there're still some mega tech cardridges left..
-
I wanted to go, but my puppy is coming Monday
-

Ah thanks. I will try to get all of them.

Cool, and if you want to keep a cab with the 8 games intact i'm also willing to trade games along with money for them..

Laszo told me the pinballs were often machines that were missing essential parts that are not even available in the US anymore so watch what you go for (if pinball).
I somehow would have loved to be able to save the Atari Airborne Avanger as it is .........an ATARI pinball and it was designed by Steve Ritchie, the software done by Eugene Jarvis and the artwork by George Opperman, talk about Atari legends !!!

Ah, completely missed that, sorry ....
Well there was little really good stuff..... at one point in time there was a Hard Drivin' and a Race Drivin' cockpit. Who knows the one Polderarcade has may come from there....
The Night Driver was in pretty good condition though and the Zac cockpit was in fact in awesome condition (still in "shrink wrap" at the sides....
In all honesty I have always wondered how they kept running and this comes as no surprise to me, still a bit sad to see them go, despite everything it was still fun to go there every now and then to see what they had...
-
The Night Driver was in pretty good condition
It's the one that is already sold by Ully :-\ ?
In this case, I hope a better new life with love for that cab :evil:!

it is! i just couldn't see myself getting to the point where i could actually work on it and selling it off to the guys from for amusement only gave me a good feeling that it WILL get some much deserved love after all - better than countless cold days and nights in a storage unit!

Auction

Yep, like I already linked to in the first post ;) ;D
-
If anyone's interested in the NSM Fire CD Wall Jukebox => It is 100% sure it is defective. I've asked the owner two times about it , and in all cases they told me it was property of a customer and it needed to be fixed and I could not buy it.......
note that between the two times I asked there were at least 4 or 5 months and obviously they never managed to fix it and now the original owner (if the story is true) will have to buy back his own machine (if he is still wanting it).
Anyway, not a worker for sure, there were mechanical problems with it, that's what he told me.
-
i d be interested in one depending on price ;) thanks gyruss!
-
so there are 3 more MegaTechs for sale? nice
-
Auction has started. Pretty high starting prices IMHO...
http://www.beusekom.nl/auction/default.asp?SaleID=718&lang=ENG
€100 for the Atari Airborne Avanger.....which thus means €140,36 total to be paid if it sticks there..... If I's been 25 Euro I'd get it for the coin-door and buttons....I'd make a nice light box out of that wonderfull back-box, love Opperman's style !!
O wel....let's hope a real die-hard pinball lover will buy it and fully restore it....come'on Atari pinballs are special just because they are .....Atari :)
Also the NSM wall cd jukebox:
(http://media.beusekom.nl/auction/data/718/0111.JPG)
Looks like they stored their toilet paper in the position where the mechanism is supposed to be....BEWARE !!!
Also looks like all (well the couple) of interesting video machines that there still was last time I was there were all sold before they went under....
It's almost all garbage.....even the Pitfighter ..... The only decent video machine is the Road Riot, a nice machine if you want something to race 2 player in compact way (seats included) but well......it is not the best racer I can think off......
-
I can't find the PCBs he still had
Too bad I didn't pick them up
-
http://www.beusekom.nl/auction/ItemInfo.asp?itemID=2417131&catid=8&SaleID=718
?
But what is a "choicestick" or "spelprinter" ;) ;) ;)
(Yes they must mean joystick and "spelprinten" I know.....)
-
Regarding the NSM jukebox: the toilet paper is only there to stop the cd-trays from falling out of the trayholders (on each side are 50 trays in the black trayholders). All parts seem to be in place. Even the coverage of the trayholder towers is there. you don't see that very often. Only thing that sucks big time is the bezel. That's not the beautiful Fire Bird bezel glas. Instead there is the extremely ugly bezel from a Wizard cd-juke. :shock:
-
AH ! Thanks for clearing that part up :)
Already thought there was something not right with the artwork because I've seen Speleo's Fire and it has a different front indeed....
Still, like I said, I tried to get a price from the owner of the shop two times and two times he told me it wasn't for sale but broken and they were "about to" fix it for the customer.....
-
well, he had this small room in the back of the shop filled with all kind of small stuff for repairing pinnballs and jukeboxes
he had some boxes with PCBs in there, I took the Namco Vol 2 and Shinobi from there

and i guess Atazi means Atari ? ;D
-
Wha LOL
-
hehe, looks like Rob filled the forms himself ;D
-
Auction finished, did anyone from the forum buy stuff?
-
Not me. Some of those pinballs went for crazy prices IMHO, around 650 Euro, which means way over 800 in total, which is pretty insane for the condition these were in IMHO.
I think the guys from the shop would have been very happy if those pins would have sold for those prices when they were still running....Then again, I'm not a pinball expert.
The NSM jukebox went for a more or less OK price IF it works....
The Discoball Seeburg jukebox went for a pretty high price IMHO, almost 1200 euro excl. costs & VAT....then again, that one was in very nice condition.
So.....now Jukeboxshop is history.
I know it wasn't exactly a great place, but at least it was something to nose around from time to time. I even have a customer right next door to their (former) building so it was nice to go there during lunch break. I will miss it for this....
-
I checked it out and I agree overall the stuff that was sold went for a steep price and a lot of stuff did not sell including some arcade machines.
-
Guys - may I point to this thread:
https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=3749.msg58954#msg58954 (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=3749.msg58954#msg58954)
for good sake that guy is now ripped. He should have sold me the atari flipper for 250 which we first agreed on - but when I was there he asked 500 EUR.
(and it was missing a lot of inner parts which would take years to come by)
The Discoball he offered for 600 when I was there...but broken.
For most parts in special the flippers and arcades were missing lots of parts.
the blues brothers and most of the other figures were missing hands, heads or other parts too.
at least he did get some money for his crap.
-
No HE did not get any money. Not sure how it is abroad, but over here when a company goes bust, a "curator" is going to see what is there to divide among the people/companies who the company still owes money to. Nr.1 in line is ALWAYS the government, to be more precise the tax-guys.
IF there is anything left after that it will be divided among the others who still get money....
So, if it eases your mind a bit, he won't see a penny of anything that was auctioned off that's for sure.
I understand your feelings about the owners and I agree that is an ass-trick to do. I never had that happening to me, the Night Driver and the Zacc cockpit went for realistic prices and he was very helpful (wrapped up the Zacc and it could stay there until picked-up).
I guess he probably saw the problems coming and maybe thought you were a "gold mine" that just walked in...maybe he thought since you drove this big distance and from abroad that you wouldn't leave without the machines and MAYBE you actually talked to the wrong guy.
Whichever way it was, it was a sick thing to do...
I just hope you don't feel that I'm responsible for this, you never mentioned you were going to come over which would have been a good idea as I could have been of assistance for sure....
I am simply amazed about the prices that have been payed by the people in the auction...they surely have not done good deals in general...
-
I also want to add some salt to the soup ;)
Well overall Rob has always been a nice guy in general, but maybe he had his ups and downs once in awhile.
Anyway as for the auction I can tell you that I was a pretty lucky bastard hehe. I first got two cabinets that I bid on only to strip them for parts, like monitors and all. So I got those 2 for €70,- incl. tax and all (€50,- ex.) So I went to pick those up and stumbled upon the Virtua Fighter 3 dedicated Sega cabinet. It originally auctioned for €285,- but there was supposed to be a Mame setup with 600 games in it, but this was not the case. The cab had only one game, VF3 ;)
So the buyer left it there and I went to the auctioners and asked what they wanted for it, so she said €85,- and I countered with €50,- and they accepted :spaceace:
So I went home with a working VF3 cab for €70,- incl. tax hehe. After some cleaning/replacing sticks and buttons/monitor adjusting etc. we now have this "kinda strange cab for it's time, but still so very cool" cab running in our Arcade :spaceace:
Everybody who knows The NGC can come and check it out on the 13th of april. Seeya then guys!

Well done Psyk ! :)
