Went to this auction today in So Cal under sunny skies.

Saw a few KLOV'rs but it looked to be mostly arcade operators.

I think there were maybe 125 pieces for sale, maybe a little more.

There was a row of classics - 2 non working Star Wars, a complete Solar Quest in what appeared to be excellent shape but non-working, non working tempest, non working centipede and non working space duel, non working star castle, non working Pole Position II cockpit. And a Gun Fight that was working intermittently. I did not stay for these games so I don't know what they sold for.

Newer games included a sit down Daytona 2 that went for $650, ridge racer V for $450 and a Beachhead 2000 that I think went for $800. They had some gun games - some deer hunting games, and there were two non-working JP Lost Worlds. There was also a gigantic Konami Jurassic Park III projection shooting game that was non-working. That has got to be one of the biggest video games I have ever seen.

They had a gigantic 1972 slot machine, and a smaller quarter machine from what looked to be the 1980s. There were about 12 Golden Tee 2005 machines, but I did not see any of them working. There were maybe 15 pinballs, with some decent titles including a Spiderman and POTC. There was a project Star Wars Episode 1 and an Invasion From Mars. I left when these were being sold.

Overall prices were higher than at previous auctions with exception of the Speed Racer for $75 that Gene at Vintage Arcade bought. God that game sucks.

There was a very annoying guy with a laptop who was apparently using the built in camera to record the auction for the owner. A fellow Klov'r let him use his power cord when he battery was going dead.

Overall, it was better than the last Superauctions auction, but I don't think anyone missed much. Back to Craigslist....
 
I picked up one of the Star Wars. This was one of my dream machines and I'm really excited and happy about it. I've been wanting one of these for a long time.

May the Force be with you....

Hope the pics show up. Im just learning experimenting on how to post pics.

There were 2 star wars there both dead both locked up. I decided that I was really gonna go after the one with no drill holes and better cab/sideart but missing the left handle. both were locked in the back, but the top coin door of mine was open and I felt a tube and saw boards in the cage. Thank God it wasn't a switcheroo...

Its still dirty in the pics. It's been sitting on its side in the Grand Cherokee since yesterday until I could get help cause Im not dumb enough to attempt to take it out alone. The bottom latch could really F sideart up... but not this time:)

Whats wrong: Haven't really had a chance to mess with it yet. Basically the lights are on but nobody's home. It has the most likely dead red flyback and the spot killer is on the def pcb. The boards were out of it's connector and I put them back together hoping to at least hear Obi but no good :(

I'm gonna need alot on help on this from my klov homies:
