Today I crawled around some old storage of a coinop that recently passed away. I am planning on picking up some stuff for myself but I was wondering if I might be able to grab anything for fellow KLOVers.

Here's a list of what was laying around, keep in mind I couldn't test anything of the cabs as they were nowhere near power.

GAMES:
~NBA JAM - No side art, i believe non-dedicated
~Pacman - Empty cab, original CP (some rust) & speaker, painted sideart. Cab is solid (no water damage or chunks out of wood)
~Roadblasters - Dedicated
~SID - Dedicated
~Pole Position II - Dedicated, good shape but some rust. Art looked good
~Mortal Kombat - Non-dedicated. Original marquee and CP
~"Snake Cocktail" - cocktail table, was told it was "that old snake game where you eat stuff and the snake grows..." no markings on it so not sure
~Ms Pac in an atari cabaret? - Looked like a cabaret and the art was a stylized form of Ms Pac. Marking on the back of the cab said atari... wasn't sure what to make of it

MARQUEES:
~Defender - Guy had 3. 2/3 looked good, one was chipped
~Rampage
~Frogger
~Galaxian (some chipping)
~Nintendo Marquee (3-4) - not sure what they are from but they look like this: http://media.photobucket.com/image/nintendo marquee/Chris7185/100_3397.jpg

BEZELS:
~Asteroids
~Ms Pac - 3 in nice condition, 2 flaking
~Pacman - 3-4, 2 in nice shape
~Baby Pac
~Pacman cocktail table glass

As I am very new to the hobby (addiction) I'd appreciate your thoughts on whether I should grab any of this stuff and if so, how much you would offer the guy for it.

If any of you are interested in some of these (mainly the bezels & marquees) let me know, I'd be willing to pick them up and get them shipped to you.
 
I wonder what the snake game is look at it andfnd some info on the game tha t might hrlp with identifying it!

I'd say $500 tops. I would start at $250 to $300 myself . I figure about $30-$50 (if not water damaged) per cab and not much on the marquees and bezels.
 
I made a mention of $400 over the phone and he didn't sound enthused (I think he's assuming he has atleast $2-300 per cab...). But sounds like he's considering and I know he needs it gone fairly quick so it may work in my favor. We'll get into it more when I see him this week. I dont have to have anything there so I'm happy to walk away if the price isn't right.

Gonna take a ride out there this week, probably Thursday, to pick up two jukeboxes for a friend. I'll take pictures then.

Thanks for all the feedback.
 
This sounds like a container load of projects, but we might as well be discussing the worth of imaginary solid gold banjos without pics to confirm what's up. Yah' know?

Depending on the condition of The Getaway pin, he'll get 2-500 for that all day long. Everything else...I dunno.
 
Seller just reposted his Craigslist ad with more details than original. Misrepresented games and a little batshit crazy if he wants $200-500 per game even though he wants you to assume they're 'non-working'... Im interested in hearing what he has to say on Thursday.

There's the infamous "NBA JAMS". :rolleyes:

Here's the one I'm interested in seeing:

1 BABY PAC-MAN NON-ORIGINAL CABINET

(Probably a Jr. Pac...)
 
Trip got pushed to Friday as temps were 90+ here today and I didn't want to be inside of shipping containers (read: easy bake oven) reassessing and potentially moving games.

Will post pics tomorrow, I'm curious to see what you all have to say. Still debating if anything other than a couple bezels and marquees are really worth my time/money unfortunately.
 
Here are some photos from today. Turns out the "snake cocktail" was a Slither (but was labeled that the PCB was gone...).

Not much quality stuff. I ended up leaving with a Klondike pinball which I didn't know was there and really didn't need but am happy with. My friend left with the Getaway pin as well so the trip wasn't a complete loss.

The guy was a total douche-cock and yelled at one of his friends for showing us inside one of the shipping containers. I'm curious what was so important that he kept from us.

That doesn't look like a Slither cocktail to me.

that looks like a williams cocktail or maybe a converted thief?
it looks like there is room for a 2nd 13" monitor! if its not a dedicated game, it would be a good canidate for a "dual" multi game!!
