Jeesh, I know you guys are just sick and tired of seeing warehouse raids...NOT! (Yes, Wayne's World influenced me heavily, sorry)

Anyway, this warehouse had a bunch of stuff. Unfortunately, a bunch of it was converted, and a bunch of it was damaged. Some of it left to the elements for years! Anyway, I came away with some great stuff, but I'm sure I'll be back. In fact, I have my "EYES" on something in particular

A few pics below, but a full article and video walk-throughs at the newly-redesigned Gameroom Junkies website: http://bit.ly/t7Gfwp

Thanks for sharing.

Always awesome to see this stuff. It is a dream of mine to be able to something like that. Just going through parts alone would take forever, but would be awesome!!
It is funny, I didn't see a single vector game out of all that stuff. Did he sell those off first or someone beat you to them?
 
I love to see this,, done this a few times and its always fun, and then trying to find the cash to do it right..
 
This is awesome, thanks for sharing! My head would be spinning if I found a place like that and I'd be going crazy trying to figure out where I could put all those games because I'd want to take them all home...... uggghh, I'm sick in the head..... :D
 
Sick man! I think most of us would just like to see it for the unknown.
Speaking of "EYES", I don't recall seeing much of this one as a kid, but came across one on my Funhouse pickup last week. Any value to this game at all? Played it for a few minutes and came off as a unique "pac-man shooter" if I had to describe it.

You know..I'm not that far away in Augusta..if you ever need any extra help on one of these raids. ;)
 
I heard about this place last week I think. A retailer that I buy from mentioned going out there to clean that place out this week. I could be wrong though as I have heard there are a few old ops in that area.
 
Holy Awesome! I saw a Sprint 2 hiding in there....great stuff. Love the El Camino/Impala pickup and you almost falling down in the second video! ;-)

Thanks for sharing! What an amazing place to poke around.....

Nicely done again!;)
I do believe I spotted a Mr. Do and a Joust. Did you rescue either of them??
Are you going to Greenville BTW?
 
I'd love to get that APB...been looking for one in decent shape and that one looks like it would clean up nice..

Some really good finds in that stash...saw a few converted games that might be worth converting back to their original form too.

I wish i had the time to track down these finds...although I do know of a mini warehouse find that I need to follow up on that had around 30 games stashed..so I need to stop procrastinating and try to grab some of those ..:rolleyes:
 
Awesome to see regardless of how far gone some of those are....still a rush.
I see a Jail Break in that stash....also a Hat Trick.... is that Hat Trick in the fugly big Sente cab or the wooden one? If wooden then we should talk.

Where are all the pins??

Oh, that early 60's el camino is f'n awesome.... does he want to sell that? I love that design.

Yes, there were definitely some converted gems. I would love to get my hands on that joust. However, we didn't get these games for a "steal" price, and when you factor in cabinet repair (time) and the cost of getting original boards, marquees, bezels, cpos, etc...well, sometimes you just have to know when to wait for a dedicated one to come around.

@sohchx - yes, there is supposed to be someone coming this week to get more stuff. Op said he was from Cali. Anywho, I doubt he'll get everything - tons of stuff and if he's a retailer, a lot of it is probably too far gone except for the most dedicated hobbyist.

@CamaroMurph - I did see one red nintendo cab. It's back was toward me, and when I moved to see what it was, the marquee and bezel were missing, so I have no idea. If it was like the others, then it was probably converted to some crap VS. game.
