I have no idea what goes where. However, one of those has 4 guns in it, one broken. maybe its 5 including broken one.
There's also a 'rifle' light gun as well.. I'll load them up on my next visit. Running out of room, the classic problem.
I've been removing whatever PCBs I can find there, condition unknown as of yet. I'll look specifically in the LE cab for stuff, though.

amazing. you would think it would have been easier, and more cost effective for them to announce a small auction for the next weekend. everything would have been cleared out then.

well.. It is a bit perplexing. I'll suggest to them perhaps that would be a solution. This looks like more than a year's worth of 'put it over there, we'll do something with it.. ' Who knows, maybe they _cant_ do it for some reason. Still, I would think a 'free giveaway' would be legal, coordinating things so all they really have to do is fill a truck up with the broken CRTs and be done with it. They get their money from other methods such as site installs, so I guess to them, it's junk. I know my not-favorite arcade ops vendor wouldn't let most of this stuff out the door without a goodly chunk of money.. But these guys are positively indifferent, glad to have x pounds less to throw on the truck.
All I can do is go back, and load up what I can take off and load in the car. I can get loads of the 'narrow' coin doors, most with all the mechs.
All in all, even the slightly damp and rough, stripped Pac-Man is a better start for something than a woodworking project.
Bonus being if you get one then get hold of me, I may have removed that x thing and will gladly hand it over..
There will be a lot of WTT ads from me in the future on this stuff ;0 I have a cocktail I need cpos, overlay and glass. MY job gets me ending up all over the SE region, so some coordinated trades later perhaps. For now.. gas up the truck, drive over here and pick up a Midway!

Nintendo stuff is still rare, even in this pile. I've got a plexi DK and DK3 monitor bezel, and a glass bootleg one with one ugly monkey!
How varied is this stuff in condition? my personal score, a Galaga, still has the operating manual. I was over at a friends showing that off, unfolding the schematics like it was a vintage Playboy. My friend, knowing how tech-oriented I am, inquired as to how many pages were stuck together..
Oh baby Z80 register sets.. ahh

It's sad that this is how these get treated....

go remove every marquee/bezel/controlpanel/coindoor/pcb/gun you can find !! i would like the street fighter 2.
a guy here where i got 4 cabs (one mk, 2 dks, and one centipede) had cabs lying around like that in his backyards where it seems to be where he used to keep horses. he had cabs from ms pacman, pacman, qbert, outrun and so on. he said he had trown a whole bunch to the curb and was going to throw the rest in a few days to make room for an addition to his house. i tried to not say anything playing it cool so he can give me a good deal on the cabs. well i got those 4 from him ( the mk was in better shape, that one was being stored somewhere else) he said he would call me when he trew them away so i can go get what ever i wanted..... he never did :dunno .
