does such a place exist in the UK?
restore heaven!

Yep, the guy that runs it has a good rep, too... if you show up with a van and cash you can get some good deals.
-
I wouldn't exactly call it a graveyard either. Sometimes when I go there it seems more like wonderland, there's just so many games, pins, and what not. You can even go up there just looking for parts or what not. Last time all I picked up were a couple of 4" wico handles.
-
Graveyard isn't too far off for some of the stuff
-
:o thats alot of games :o wish i was near there :'(
-
This would be a coinop graveyard. :'( I was there and these are the pics I took. DarkKobold was there the same day and I'm sure he remembers how crazy that place was.

Was that a free for all??

Sorta. It was a legally run sale of the games, but it was a situation where you had to claim something before someone else did. I missed out on a good marquee for my Frogger because I thought I could just grab it after I went to get lunch. It was gone when I got back. Someone there was taking a bunch of marquees of games and I'm guessing he may have got it.

Heres a cool site with other graveyards

anyone got any more? I like the warehouse job. is that a pong in the background in one of those shots?
-
How come I saw all those nice looking Solar Quests in the warehouse, but none in the backs of the trucks afterwards?
-
Wow, that's so sad seeing all those great games just sitting there collecting dust. It's probably for the best that it's nowhere near me. I could easilly blow a few paychecks in there!
I'd sure love to have one of those Omega Races that are sitting there.

No, but it looks like a multi-Pong clone of some sort.
-
It's a very pretty fiberglass cab.
-
Dear Lord, what on earth happened to that one Pac? Looks like someone attacked it with a lawnmower!
-
Water.
-
Water did -THAT- to a cab?! Yikes... I was unaware of the dangers of the H2O.
That's it... No more water for me. Only beer from here on in.

Dude, clearly those things have been sitting there for 20 years. If you had backstory, too, you'd know that even the floor was rotted out and unsafe in much of the building. It was an abandoned warehouse.

I'm showing that website to my wife just to show her I don't have too many cabinets... ;D

God there is allot of cabs there that pain me to see them like that.
Thats when you wish you could operators like that and would give them to you.
Some would be a good project.

So, would you buy them all? There are two alternatives to you showing up and buying the building: they stay there where they are safe and sound until someone restores them, or they burn the building down and take the insurance money.

There's a Star Wars cockpit hidden in there.

Was that damaged by water? wind? fire?
