KC, KS Superauction buys - full results
nostrebor:
Just got home from the Kansas City Superauction with a couple of new goodies ;D Managed to pick up a complete non-working Moon Patrol that appears to have the wrong power board. It is in nice shape with good art, a few cig burns on the CP, and a worn out 2-way joystick. I intend to restore this one as MP is one of my personal favorites! The other one is an Atari Firefox cabinet with a Top Gun Conversion. It is also non-working, but complete, and only shows a bit over 4000 plays on the meter. I bought it for the controller, but it looks real nice so I may restore it also. a couple of pics are attached below.
As far as the auction was concerned, it was so-so for game choices, excellent for buyers. many games were $5-$10, with some for $1. At the end they were 3 for a $1 ;) The highest game sold was actually a Jakks Ms Pac Man in a cooked Taito cab. Sold for $650 ::) The highest priced "real" game was a 19" 4-player X-men, at about $275. Many nice games were sold in the $100 range.
I took a friend from work, to play the free games ;) but most were not powered up, and if you got too many going, it would trip a breaker >:( We did play quite a few, but it was not near as much fun as the St Louis auction - for game playing.

I wish there were auctions like that here in Portugal.
I only know another MAME cabinet builder here. : :-[ :-X :-\ :-* :'(

How in the world are you supposed to play Top Gun with a Firefox yoke, last I remembered Top Gun was an 8-way game. Or was there an analog kit available too?
I predicted last year that 2005 is the year the botton drops out on game values. Luckily I already sold everything that wasn't a keeper. Well, except my Turbo, I still have that, but with a grand total of $55 invested in it I'm not too worried about the value.

Yeah, we were thinking the same thing. Top gun was an 8-way game. (strangely, KLOV doesn't have it on their list?) It did have Top Gun paperwork in the cab, but it doesn't shed much light. This cab seem to have a power problem also, so far the only thing that has power is the marquee.
Edit: Found it on KLOV as VS. Top Gun. (Just like the marquee says ::) DUH) No real help though?
