I just found out at about 3:00 about the auction in Compton, CA tomorrow. So I called my girlfriend and told her to drop everything - we are going. It's about a 2 hour drive and I will load my pockets cash and my car with wrenches and tools in case I get something. This will be my first auction.

My short list:

Black Knight
Black Hole
Pharaoh (Williams)
Tron
Defender
Starcastle
Sinistar
Joust
Bezerk
Ms Pacman
Amour Attack

If I see something I like, I will need my girlfriend there to keep me grounded. That's what she's good for.

Also, does anyone know if a pinball machine will fit into a Jeep Liberty?

It has 6 feet of space behind the seats. Don't know the height.

There was nothing of value at the Compton auction. An asteroids was the only thing that was working and in good shape.

Most others were broken cabs, cabs that had the wrong games in them (repainted and generic art). There were probalby more good stuff, but my filter was only really looking for a few items.

The only thing that I though of, is I should have bought one of the cabs for $10 and just taken the Coinco coin door off it. Yes, a couple of cabs went for $5-$15.

I can post pics if you want...

I probably would have come home in a moving truck if I got games for $5-15.
