To whom it may concern. I stopped by Coinopwarehouse today to pick up another cab and got a Super Sprint in great shape. Lloyd actually had some new stuff which was not there two weeks ago.
There are at least:
20 Pac-Man uprights
10 pole position uprights
Some things that were really interesting.
Baby Pac-Man Video/Pinball Combo (This would be one tough restoration however)
http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=B&game_id=6987
3 upright Space Encounters (This game has an awesome yoke control!)
http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=S&game_id=9649
Space Tactics (Sit down with x-y moving monitor)
http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=S&game_id=9683
There was this awesome game where the monitor was on a tilting ans swiveling stand with two top fire joysticks. I have no idea what it was but it was a really unique cabinet.
He still has three turbo cockpit machines left
There are at least 400 other cabinets still there and he says they all have to be out in 3 weeks!
-
what is he willing to sell them for?
-
The cabinets in non-working order are all going for $65. He'll probally want $150 for any game which has a working monitor in good shape or a cabinet in very good condition. He has a Pole Position Cocktpit for $150 several working NEO Geo cabs for $100.
-
Man, I wish I had a way to get there from NJ. It's not that far a ride really, but my car won't even make the trip (piece of crap :( ) and even if it did.. it wouldn't hold cabs :(
I'd love a PacMan and a NeoGeo....
/me sighs
-
Pointdablame,
There's a full size van for sale in the other thread.
If you buy it, maybe he'd stop along the way, and pick up the cabs for you.
-
but if I had $1k to spend, I could easily find a NeoGeo and a Pacman. After all, I AM in New Jersey... it isn't exactly hard to find machines heh... just hard to find them at $65 :)
-
I was looking at the "two birds with one stone" aspect of it all though.
This way you'd have the cabs you want, AND a way to go get more.
-
Lloyd is a great guy, but I really wish that he could have kept his warehouse clean. My allergies don't go well with the inch think layer of dust on everything not in the show room. I would love to rent a truck and pick up a half dozen games or so...
-
Wait, where is the warehouse? Its close to NJ?
-
It's funny you mention that because a few weeks ago when I was there I guy was walking around with one of those cheap white contractor masks on.
-
Space Tactics (Sit down with x-y moving monitor)
http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=S&game_id=9683
That's not an XY game.
-
The swivelling game is Danger Zone by Cinematronics:
http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?game_id=7507
It's neat due to the control method, but the game is not all that fun. It would have been interesting if they made an "Operation Wolf" style game or a 3D shooting game with this kind of control.
The only other game I know of with a swivelling monitor/controls is Sega's Heavyweight Champ: http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=&game_id=8098
-

It depends on what you call "close." It's about 4 hours from me (union county), so its certainly a ride, but if I had a big truck I'd make the trip to get some cabs.
If someone from NJ goes there, get me a Pac :angel: I will love you forever.
-
Man I wish I didn't live so far from that place. :( I've talked to a buddy of mine about taking a road trip even though it's a total of 16 hrs on the road in one day.
-

That's the one, the cab in the shop had no artwork anywhere on it so I could not tell what it was.
I was just imagining playing Starwars, empire strikes back or how about tailgunner or liberator. This cab is in awesome mechanical shape.
-
I know this is far fetched...but I live about 1 hour east of Lloyd. I also have access to a full size stake body truck (could hold up to 8 uprights). If anyone would like to pay for my gas and driving time (driving time = (1) cab from Lloyd), I would be more than happy to help fellow BYOAC'ers that are say within a 200 mile area of me.
My zip is 21222 if that helps.

Matt,
Hey I thought I saw in another post you were parting out of a bunch of stuff. Now it seems you'll be sucked into a whole new batch of stuff.
I'd like to see how this plays out.
-
Ok folks. I am making a trip to the warehouse then to NJ (08021). If anyone is near that zipcode and was looking for a cabinet from Lloyd. Please pm me ASAP. Thanks
Matt
-
ugh you are tempting me :(
I'm an hour and a half North of 08021 though, it's probably not worth the drive for just me.
-
I've been kicking myself back and forth about making a trip down there, but it's unlikely. So, I do have a unique request for anyone who does get down there.
In one of the pictures, I can make out several late 70s - early 80s Rock Ola jukeboxes. Right now, I'm working on restoring a Rock Ola 469 (1977), but I don't have the correct body artwork. See picture here:
http://jukebox-guide.com/Rock-Ola/Pictures/469.gif
See that large piece of artwork above the speaker grill on the base of the unit? I need that. I have the top/marquee art piece, only need the bottom (larger) piece. If anyone has a chance to check out the jukeboxes and happens to find a 469 (clearly marked on the top display), then please please please pull out that artwork (if it's there and in decent shape).
I only want the art from the 469 - I actually have art from the 463 model in there right now, so I don't need just any replacement. 469 only (which could be impossible - very few, relatively, were made).
If you're heading down there soon and think you could check this out for me, then PM me and we'll talk any details and payment. Thanks mucho.
-
If you only need that one part, Lloyd has been known to pull parts for people and sell them via mail...
-
Well like I said. I will have a truck big enough so if anyone wants anything...speak now. I can pick up whatever anyone wants.
Pointdablame...1 1/2hrs to 08021 isn't bad at all if you wanted to meet me there. It would almost be like an east coast gathering... :)
Club...call Lloyd and see if he has what you are looking for. If so then I will pick it up and ship it or deliver it.
Matt
-
Club...I just talk to Lloyd. He does not have the art piece. Call a guy named Jimmy Thorpe (252-446-9117). He has the part and can shipp to you. Hope this helps.
UPDATE...I called him myself while I was typing and he is checking for me. Should have an answer today or tomorrow.

Now that's service. Thanks!
-
well thank you...i just try to give back to the community like you guys have done for me. :)
-
I wish he was in TORONTO... :(
-
I called Lloyd on Sunday looking to help relieve him of some parts. He asked that I email him the request list, and I did. I haven't heard back from him as of yet.
If anybody is going there I would gladly pay for your time and trouble for pulling the Pac-Man parts I'm looking for.
-

b1bug over on CGCC was (perhaps jokingly) talking about heading down, but I think that general enthusiasm for the trip was fairly low.
Cheers.
-
Highnoon...i am going there on saturday...let me know ASAP what you need...also get a cost from lloyd. or if you want call lloyd (his number is on his site) and get a cost that way :).
Matt
-
conseit68,
I just PM'ed ya. Let me know if for some reason you didn't get it.
-
If anyone is going through Harrisburg, PA on their way home, I might be interested in paying for some of your time/trouble :-)
-
Wait, where is the warehouse? Its close to NJ?

Yeah, so I am much closer than you. Ocean County, just 100 miles down the turnpike.
-
Hey, how can you contact Lloyd to see what he has left? I wouldn't want to make my Dad do a drive for nothing.
-
Check his website and look at the pics. About 1/3 of the items are gone, but many are still there. I was just there on Saturday I can help you out if there is something in particular you were looking for.
-
whats the link to his site?
-
Wait, he's in Maryland?
-
Wait, he's in Maryland?
Yes, though I would gladly have any other state take Hagerstown off of our hands ;D
-
I want to see how many pins he has left, and how muct they going for. For some reason, I was under the impression he was in Delaware
-
ugh... I have zero chance of getting a truck and even meeting someone half way :(
Oh well...
-
tell you what point... I drive out to you. call me at 240-417-5435 so details can be worked out. :)

I am trying to get a price from Lloyd on a Ms Pac cab (waiting to hear back from him). Do you still have room on your truck?? Also, how far away from Mount Laurel (exit 4 on the TP, or 43 on 295) are you?
Thanks, Patrick
-
He says most of his non-working cabs left are now $50.
-

He has a ton of late 60's and early 70's pins but they all need serious TLC. I believe they are going for arround $100.
-
my offer still stands on anyone who is interested.
matt
-
I'm probably going on the 3rd
-
anybody going from the midwest....i can't let all those pacman and midway cabs get trashed. :(
-
So most of his pinballs are old and non-functional?
-
The word on RGP was that they are ALL parts machines, unless he has gotten some in since then.
-
I'm in Columbus, Ohio, and am in deep discussion with my wife as to whether this trip will be taken. I don't have a truck, but I could probably get a u-haul trailer and hitch.
I've emailed Lloyd asking about a few things, but haven't gotten a reply as yet. He's probably really busy.
-
Deep discussion... ;D
"if you spend the money and take a whole weekend to drive down there, I'm buying a new living room set and we're going to my mother's for two weeks"
-
The word on RGP was that they are ALL parts machines, unless he has gotten some in since then.
I'm about an hour and a half away and was planning on making the trip tomorrow. So it doesn't look like it's worth it if i don't need parts and am looking for something functional?
-
I'm pretty good at diagnosing and repairing EM's, but it takes a good abount of time. I'll grab a few if I go.
-
I'm going on the second! We renting a cargo van from Enterprise! Mom will murdelate me if we drive for over 8 hours and dont get anything after a $66 car rental

I'm about 4 hours from Columbus. I can't make the drive to Maryland, but If you could get a 4 player cab for me I'd help finance part of the trip. I'll come out and get it one weekend.
I'd prefer a working one, or at least, a working monitor.

I went over the weekend and didn't really see much. Then again, i went for pinball machines more than anything else.

How about Beach Head 2002:
http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?game_id=12746
Doesn't look like it in the picture, but I saw one 'in the flesh' and it has a monitor on the hanging down control module thingy :)
(point of interest... I was there just after a power failure & saw it rebooting... this thing runs on Windows!)
-
just went to Lloyd's yesterday (8.2.05) - picked up a great condition super off road and 3 marquees for $50.00. He still has quite a few videos, jukes, and slots but all are in need of some work. also, he works better on deals face to face than on phone.
Matt
-
about how many videos and pins? I never got there.
-
hmmm...i would say 230 vids, 30 pins, 10 slots, 3 shuffle bowling, 40 jukes, 30 montiors, 40 boards, and a hand full of marquees. but again all items needed some sort of work. i got lucky on the offroad...all i have to do is replace the wood behind the pedals. it is all going quick too. there was a guy there picking up over 70 machines...just pointing and loading on the truck.
-
So is 230 the number after this guy took a bunch of machines?
-
yep yep :)
-
ok, good
-
---steaming pile of meadow muffin---! I guess I asked him too many questions. He told me to either get to the warehouse or he's not interested in doing business with me. :'(

Heh, Lloyd is a nice enough guy in person (hell, he let me take a board home to test it before paying and without even asking my name), but I think that sometimes he forgets that he is trying to run a business when you talk to him on the phone or through email.
