PacManFan · « **on:** September 17, 2003, 12:55:42 pm »

Hey everyone, PacmanFan here, I just came across a posting on r.g.v.a.
here it is :

Major sale on Saturday Sept. 20 and Sat. Sept.27th at Coinopwarehouse,
727 N. Mulberry Street, Hagerstown, MD. We will be open 10:30 to
4:30. I am closing on the building end of the month and need to raise
additional cash for settlement, so a lot of stuff has to go quickly.
We have over 600 machines in stock, thousands of parts - boards,
headers, glasses, cabinets. Tons of signs, coke machines, penny
scales, jukeboxes, arcade games, shooting galleries, baseball games,
slot machines, bowlers, and plenty of other collectibles! Bring a
truck and be prepared to take a lot home with you! Email
lloyd@coinopwarehouse.com with specific questions or call my cell at
703-801-1459. I am in the mood to deal! Lloyd

I've been to this place before, 600+ machines! Awesome deals! LLoyd is a good guy and can cut you a deal on any parts / machines you need.
I'm planning on going up this weekend (wife permitting of course). Anyone else from the MD / DC / N.VA / S.PA area interested?

Do you have any idea what kind of slot machines he has? Real ones or pachislo

I'd really like a video poker, plus another cab.

You'd have to give Lloyd a call and ask him, I was paying more attention to the video games the last time I went there.

Might be a good opportunity to get my cocktail cab. Gotta check w/the wife but I'll probably be there too.

I just spoke with Lloyd, and he said he's got a new website with some pix of the games. Here's the link:

Ah!

What I wouldn't give to live near there...
I'd love to get my hands on a couple of those gutted Galaxian cabinets...
I love those Pacman style cabinets...

Oh well...

I'm a newbie, so I probably would be lost there, but some of that stuff looks too cool. I remember that helicopter game, 2nd from the left"

That older stuff looks really cool. 4 hrs away!

Yeah, that is a Whirlybird I think. I played one of those once too. They are as expensive as all get out now.

That's rings a bell! Whirlybird! That would be cool to have for about 6 months.

I'll take Gorf, Astro blaster, Black Tiger, Sega Rally (2 player), Donkey Kong, an old slot machine or two......

Man, if I lived even 8 hours away I'd be heading up there right now... I got $$$ burning a hole in my pocket waiting for the next Super Acutions in Socal

AAArrrggghhh!!!

Damn it sux being in New zealand, I could take 10 games out of there right now. It makes me sick to think that I have absolutely zero chance of ever being able to walk in to a room like that in New Zealand let alone be able to buy the stuff.
Thoroughly pissed off now!
Hope some forum members make it there.

Doh! Saturday again. I wish i worked a normal work week. Stupid job. That would be a long 3 hour ride by myself anyway. I'm gonna make it to one of these MD events eventually. Happy hunting to all that go, looks like there'll be some good stuff.

PacManFan,
The pics look great! I know you have gone up there before. What are they asking for these cabs?
I know a few weeks ago they were $50 a piece, but those were in rather shotty condition. The ones on the pics link look to be in decent condition with side art intact. Do you know what the prices on these will be? I am not sure if I will be able to make it either way, but I'd like to know if it is worth the attempt.

paigeoliver · « **Reply #15 on:** September 18, 2003, 12:13:06 am »

Mmmm, there is a Red Baron upright. I haven't seen one of those in person since I was a little kid.

Actually, I might have never seen an upright in person, as the one I remember playing was a cockpit.

One of those would look AWESOME next to my Battlezone, it would look almost as cool as it does next to the megatons of Battlezones it is with now.

JackTucky · « **Reply #16 on:** September 18, 2003, 09:34:28 am »

Are those Sea Wolf's back there? The first time my wife and I played my new Mame machine together, we stumbled on Sea Wolf and played it most of the night, even with no sound.

That might be kind of cool to grab one of those if it worked.

WonderMellon,
Honestly, I don't know. Give Lloyd a call and ask about a specific machine. Two weeks ago, I got a PacMan cabinet, Galaga marquee, and a 4" trackball for 75$. Lloyd is trying to clear the warehouse, so remember; EVERYTHING must go before the end of the month (2 Saturdays). I bet he'll be cutting deals left and right.

WonderMellon, I hope to see you there! I'm going to go at about 2-3pm this Saturday.

PMF - Read the ad again. I was under the same impression you are that he was closing down and everything had to go but he is "closing on the building". Meaning he is buying the building and needs the funds to do so. Will still get good deals I'm sure but not "Going Out Of Business" kind of deals.

Now that I re-read it, I think you're right. Oh well, I'm still going.

davellaman · « **Reply #20 on:** September 18, 2003, 01:18:24 pm »

good to hear that he isnt losing his business. Nothing more depressing then a fellow arcade addict lose his business.

I live in NJ and I am really thinking about going down because I have the day off.

I was just wondering what kind of prices some of the gutted cabs and some of the working cabs would be? I need to set a limit on how much money i should bring....if I bring a lot i wont have gas money to come home, if i bring a little I wont have enought to spend....

you know how it is...

Man, i would love to go there. Unfortunately, my oldsmobile 1) prolly wouldn't even make it to MD and 2) definitely wouldn't hold any cabs. Damn old cars and being a college student.

SpAwN · « **Reply #22 on:** September 19, 2003, 11:44:31 am »

Thanks for the info on the sale. I'm heading up there with a couple friends and truck tomorrow morning.

From Northern Virginia.

You can get a mini or a cocktail in the back seat of a full size (meaning rear wheel drive) Oldsmobile.

PacManFan · « **Reply #24 on:** September 19, 2003, 05:36:38 pm »

Birdtales, I'm not going to be able to bring my minivan this time. Do you think you'll be able to haul a cab back to Silver Spring for me? What time are you going up?

Birdtales · « **Reply #25 on:** September 19, 2003, 07:44:42 pm »

Unfortunately the tree laying on my house will have to take priority. Bout a hundred feet tall and resting nicely on our chimney. Got two more in the front and a leaner in the back so I'm stayin' home.

On a good note we were only without power for 20 hours.

Oh yeah, that's great paige.... just tempt me some MORE to drive my '88 Olds to MD so my parents can laugh as I bring home a cocktail....I'm blaming you if I'm on the road early tomorrow.

I'd love to have a lot of the cabinets they have showing on the website... but only for a restoration project... i'd hate to "mame" any classic cabs

WonderMellon · « **Reply #28 on:** September 21, 2003, 12:47:12 am »

Did anyone go? I would love to know how things went.

PacManFan · « **Reply #29 on:** September 21, 2003, 10:48:47 am »

I couldn't go yesterday, I was stuck in the house doing chores / mowing the lawn, removing dead tree branches, watching the kids, etc...
I'm going to try to go next Saturday.
-PMF

PaulT · « **Reply #30 on:** September 21, 2003, 03:21:57 pm »

Wish I had the opportunity to go. No chance living in the UK.
Nothing ever happens like that over here!!

Birdtales · « **Reply #31 on:** September 21, 2003, 06:52:28 pm »

Guess I won't be going next week either. Tree removal came by and gave me the estimate. $4500.00, the cocktail will have to wait.

Smittydc · « **Reply #32 on:** September 24, 2003, 09:20:24 am »

Let me see - 1 hour away -- I guess I should stop by.

Anybody else heading up on Saturday?

And before I get deluged with requests to move stuff -- I do not own a flatbed truck!

PacManFan · « **Reply #33 on:** September 24, 2003, 09:23:13 am »

Well, I'm definately going to go this Saturday, The condition for me going is that I've got to take 2 of my kids with me. I'm going to try to be there around 2pm.

report:

Nice setup with lots of games, from old to new. Loyd is very friendly and helpful. Prices on the stuff I asked about seemed reasonable. I didn't buy anything (I have enough projects right now) - but it's good to know there's a place nearby that will be in business for a while.

PacManFan · « **Reply #35 on:** September 28, 2003, 06:20:56 pm »

I went there yesterday looking for a galaga bezel glass. He didn't have one, but I ended up getting a spinner and a joystick. Lloyd's a great guy with good prices.
