But I only saw 1 Williams, a Joust, near the end.

I watched for like five seconds, and there's a Defender almost right off.  Haven't watched the rest yet.

Must have been when it was buffering  ;)

ArtMAME:
I can't watch it for very long  :scared ... I get ferklempt  :o before I have to stop the video and catch my breath...

shardian:
Dang. Those guys don't seem to have a clue do they?
There was like a row of about 8 star wars machines about 2 minutes into it.

Timeout! That is a warehouse in WV! I wonder if it is still there... >:D

paigeoliver:
I think they might have a clue, since one of the guys was that "Evil Exidy" guy. A star wars isn't a big deal when you are a big time collector who already certainly has the best example of the gazillion of them you have already ran into. The things that actually got my notice in that video were the "Thief" and the Red Baron.

There really aren't many warehouses like that left. The stuff in that place looked like it had been there since 1990 or so (early Jamma games seemed to be the newest things there). Even if the owner owned the warehouse free and clear it still doesn't make a lot of financial sense to store $30,000 worth of games in a warehouse for 11 years (I guessed pretty high on the price). Even at $300 a month the owner would have gotten $40,000 in rent during that time period. Probably a lot more since I was VERY conservative on the rent.

FrizzleFried:
My god there were HUNDREDS of games...dozens of pinballs,  pool tables,  parts,  equipment.  What in the hell was the purpose of that warehouse?  I mean ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---,  all the dust on everything...did the owner just die or something?  I'd LOVE more info on this "warehouse"...hell,  i've NEVER been to a working arcade that was that huge...
