China has one of the worst human rights records and here we are bickering over if they are really burning gambling machines.

That is weird.  In that first pic, the red ones look like they could go either way.  It's the gold ones that practically looked like they were cartoons.

All those cabs are stuffed with second born sons and daughters if that makes you feel better

One thing I've noticed from working on the ones we have is a lot of people have no recollection of some of the machines we have roms for at all, yet they must have all had cabinet designs, artwork etc.  which may well have already been lost to time.

I think about that a lot... for instance, Mr. TNT is a favorite on my 4-way MAME cab, but there is literally nothing about it on the net other than the fact it had an early Atari computer port.

That's why I love to see roms dumped, instead of hoarded.

There are a lot of games that received no art, cab or anything beyond the board. I have Monster Maulers which was a promotional give-away. No cabinet. Look at the Mr. TNT example. Three "owned" by VAPS. Did you read the comments? None are original boards.
