Warehouse full of arcade cabs that are for sale

[R.P.D rookie]

No price on it yet, just had a picture of it taking up space on my hard drive.  Will try to get more pictures of it Tuesday along with more cabs and circuit boards.  We spent most of Saturday morning going through circuit boards and plugging in cabs to see which ones were working.

Havok:   When I mentioned "cockpit driven racing games" to Doug, the only thing he came up with was "World Rally" circuit board.

The plan is to go back Tuesday to look over the circuit boards.  We tried Saturday morning but it's overwhelming, to say the least, he'd have to plug everyone in and test it.  It took us about an hour to find out a Mr.Do!  circuit board was functional as we went through a few Mr.Do! cabs to double check the board's function.  He jokingly entertained the thought of packing 100 boards as a group.  I like the idea myself!  I think I'll persuade Doug to save circuit board sorting for the very last moment before I have to move.

Also, off the top of my head here's a few other games I noticed around the place:

Rush'n Attack

MrDo Run!

Ring King

MrDo's Castle   (or something along those lines)

Lady Bug

Burgertime Diner   

There's a couple of other jukeboxes in the place, will try to get pictures of them tuesday.  Many more cabs inside this place, we're just scratching the surface.

Thanks for checking. Keep me in mind if you stumble across one!

"Yeah, Doug reminded me a few times that he was informed about the arcade machine's rarity.  It's hard to tell what some of these things should be priced at.  Here I thought Boxing Bugs might not sell at $800 but someone bought that one and it was underpriced!  I'm not making a cent off doing any of this so Doug is the one doing this: after the many phone calls about Boxing Bugs." 

$800 seems like a pretty darn good deal, and I would have paid that in a heartbeat.  A good Tempest can go for around $800, and they made 35,000 of those.  Seeing that price makes me feel a little bit better, though.  I was afraid to ask the price, thinking it would be $150 or something like that...

He actually has a Tempest!  Not sure if it's for sale or a part of his personal collection.  I'll ask but I  played it and it's quite an interesting game to say the least.  I had no idea what was going on but just waiting to "warp" to the next area before weird geometric shapes walking on lines killed me.

Hmhmhmhmhm, I remember those days - 27 years ago.

I know this is an old thread, but is there anything left in the place?

[Deefish]

I too am curious if there is anything availible. I will be passing through Mobile next week around Thanksgiving. Please let us know!

Thanks,

I just gotta ask what the story is on the cockpit looking thing ?
Kiddie ride or something?

I'm sick of seeing these arcade clearances in the US, why can't some doddery old arcade owner pop his clogs in one of the English seaside towns so I can pick over his bounty? I'd travel anywhere; England's fairly small!

I just thought to myself, travel across the whole country?  I wouldnt even drive all over Texas to get something.

So I superimposed England over Texas, and England (not the whole UK)

thats not just england, its england and wales, thank you

Wow, the UK must be very densely populated. 60 million people in that small area. Texas has 25 million in a much larger space.

When I visited the UK it didn't strike me as being that densely populated. Even London, a huge city, didn't strike me as being that dense.
