I heard the tron that was there worked great during the preview, then wouldn't start when it came auction time...turned out someone yanked or crunched a fuse trying to keep it cheap... apparently it happens quite a bit at these things..you really have to watch your machines like a hawk..

CthulhuLuke:
Ooo, I would have been all over that Alien Syndrome game. Such a freakin classic! It's not illegal to sell mame cabinets, but you're not supposed to put all the games on em like that cocktail cabinet did! That's where they will bust you, since you're basically "borrowing" a game you don't own. So does anyone know what that green button on the Frogger cabinet do? I saw one of those on a donkey kong, but it didn't do anything when I pressed it.

So you were there! I was wondering if there were any other BYOACers there!

Was that Williams a MAME? I thought it was legit. Of course, I didn't look at it very closely. That would make 4 MAME machines there. It shows up in one of the pics I posted if you guys want to take a look. Of course, it's in the background, but if anyone else has seen one...

I wasn't there (not even remotely close =P ) but re: the williams -> there is a "mod chip" to make a williams game a "multi williams" machine... not to say that one was one of those, or that it wasn't MAME... just that it coulda been a multi-williams (not that it makes it any more or less legit either way) =P

Whats the most fun about auctions is you can bring an extension cord and play free classics all day long! I always end up buying something though! ::)

Anyone else going down this Saturday?

I'll be there. My wife and I attend most South Jersey Auctions. It really sucks that they will not be doing any more in Pennsauken since it's a 10 minute drive for us.
