That's not how his business works.  Ops don't change sources over stuff like that and that's where his money is made.  Collectors get ticked about stuff like this and then show up at his door with wads of cash the first time he has a sought after game for the right price.  Collectors are all talk and impulse buys.  See Ram Controls for an example of how poorly an arcade business can be run and still pull in orders hand over fist.

MagicManPA:
I don't see a reason to get upset over it. Yea, they could have been restored, but who went there to haul them away & do it? No one.

IG-88:
Did he offer them to anyone? It just came across as a slap in the face to the collectors/restorers.

Post this crap over on one of those 8th grade destruction sites if he needs a laugh.

And frankly I don't care if the guy has done nothing but donate stuff his entire life, wanton destruction of limited, viable parts is farken ignorant.

But I guess from the little bits and pieces I've been picking up over on KLOV the guy seems to have ego issues anyway  ::)

Harakiri:
This is plain retarded. A low blow to intelligence.

Havok:
Todd's a good guy. He's helped me out a couple of times on little piddly stuff. At the end of the day, he runs a business. What makes the money rules. These most likely are tax write offs, which puts more money into the business than parting them out and dealing with the time and effort to get rid of them. Let's face it; not all these games can be preserved, and that's just the way of it. Do what you can and move on...
