Well, it started off stopping by a garage sale I was passing and saw a few arcade machines. SO I started talking to the guy, he had a Raiden fighters or something, Superman, and MK1 with a MK3 kit installed (I really wanted that kit lol). So I'm talking to the guy and he happens to mention he has more machines. So I am expecting him to show me a gameroom inside the house, but no, he informs me his dad used to fun a route in the 80's and 90's, and they have around 100 arcades and pinballs stored up, majority of it in a few starage units the past 5 or 6 years. So I am excited, and next day I arrange to check it out. The old man just wants to get rid of it all, and I told him I would buy it all and get it out of his hair...
There were some classics, classics converted and a few newer machines, cool thing was all the classics he converted he kept all the original parts including a couple Tempests. Among the crowdedness of the two storage units which were jam packed, I found a couple red tents, looked like brand new Pole Position marquees and bezels, Mortal Kombat dedicated, Star Wars original dedicated, Ms Pac Man, Simpsons, a few champ Sprints, Centipede, couple Funhouse Pins, Terminator 2 pin, Simpsons Pin, Lethal Weapon 3 pin, Phantom of the Opera Pin, damn just a ton of stuff... He even has a Tron at his house he would throw in he said because I saw a control panel there so I asked about it. Tons of parts too.
