I was there and was nothing like it was years ago... there was only one cocktail (small screen, single coin slot, rusty legs and glass was bad), one pinball (that they broke the upper and lower glass on), maybe half a dozen jukes, 99% of the cabinets were game boards you couldn't pay me to take. I did recognize some classic cabinets that had been converted YEARS ago: Tron, Ms Pac, Galaga, Battlezone, & a Millipede. IMO, prices were good if you were looking for a newer game for a route, too high for restoration/home use. 99% were in pretty rough shape.
Vigo:
Thanks for letting me know...sorry you didn't have better luck. Thats really too bad. I was there about 3 or 4 years ago. I really was wishing I had more pocket money when I went, since there were quite a few items of interest.
Thanks for letting me know, I guess I will keep that in mind for the future MOMA auctions.

Oh, that's an easy answer.
You live in Boston, therefore there are none.
There are almost ZERO auctions EVER in the Boston area.
i find that hard to believe. Bostons a huge place. try finding one in Montgomery, Al.
this is a good place to find cool stuff though if you just ask around, or look in the local paper. their are some local operators who sell their old stuff to the home market and then usually dont want to be bothered when it stops working, so it just ends up in the local papers for a lowball price.
im actually glad theirs no auctions here, because it would drive up the price of the old stuff that i do find here.
im currently working on getting a $100.00 golden axe cabinet that just suddenly quit working one day.
no sound, no picture, screen blinks and gets a tad brighter when powered on. like what would happen if you turned a monitor or tv on with no incoming video source.
answer? bad pcb and/or power supply. monitor is still good. SCORE.
i will let you know how it goes.
