My question is this:
What's the point of dropping perfectly good cabinets and pinball machines off of a roof? I would've taken that Omega Race in a heartbeat.

/\ wtf just had a look at my (1990 on) pinball machine, does he mean the rubbers on the playfield?? too expensive? they're like ---smurfing--- $20 a set

pinballwizard79:

I dont like people who throw pinball machines off a roof

Here's the unedited video of the rooftop game drop:


I feel a little better after reading a comment posted along with the video.

"Some arcade machines we get in are NOT good enough to sell to the public and back with our 5 year service plan. We have donated some 300 machines to non-profit organizations over the years, but also "parted" out hundreds of games also--because they were NOT good enough to retail."

Not good enough for retail? Sell them cheap, they'll most likely end up in the restorations forum right here on the byoac.
