Finally an Amazing find in HAWAII

Argh, up too late on call. and just excited about the auction today, "FINALLY AN AMAZING FIND IN HAWAII!!!"
Check it out

And by amazing I mean...absolutely unbelievable, here are the pics, more to follow... Suffice to say there will be a lot of NOS arcade parts coming out of Hawaii and probably not all from me! There was about 1/2 of a 20 foot container of just parts.... all kinds of parts..... OEM artwork, pinball playfields, joysticks, joysticks etc.... anyhow enjoy the pics

Here is the google spread sheet of what is available

And the nonworking... bulk sale pics! PLease note, about 60% of the "nonworking" looked like restored machines that just didn't turn on when plugged in.... (and yes that is a second quantum, and second major havoc)

Wow! You hit the motherload. That is an awesome find. Congratulations. There are some awesome games there. It must be a fortune to ship a game from Hawaii though. :(

Very nice score man.

There happened to be a few pins that aren't very popular :) Which is probably why they were all HUO pins, no one would ever want to play these in an arcade.... I mean Simpsons and Elvis are such bad games to play they came already in their boxes and were just set up to sell here....

Right on! What an amazing collection of gaming goodness. Games look in excellent condition for the most part.

What is the story behind this find?
 
Might have to mortgage the house, kick the renter out of the basement. And then borrow a cargo ship and make a trip to help clear that inventory down a bit.

Then I woke up from my dream.:(
 
Now your just rubbing it in. :)

No doubt, I am beyond jealousy and starting to think about a life of thievery.:D

Seriously, Paradise Arcade may just have to start a Hawaiian Arcade Museum. That would be a great excuse for a vacation just to head out there.
 
Hmmmm, a small museum at a place I now might actually work... I hadn't thought of that, and he loves classics....

It was an amazing score, the fate of the pins is sealed but the video games are still up in the air.

The Blaster Duramold looks new, so does the non-working tempest and tempest cabaret....
Some of the items are just unreal, NOS Major Havoc Rollers, A ton of Slick Stick Spinners, color vector monitor, NOS playfield for Circus Voltair and few others, twilight zone plastics, Simpsons miniplayfields... the list just goes on forever.

Someone bought a pallet of PCB's for 2700, I don't know if they knew something valuable was in there, but it looked like a stack of poorly taken care of PCBS, literally a pallet stacked 6 feet high with the boards thrown on there....
 
Wow, that's just sick. Take every warehouse find I've ever seen and I don't think you'll get to touch what was there. Unbelievable.
 
People throw the words 'unbelievable' and 'amazing' around a lot, but this find truly deserves them! Wow.
 
Holy crap, man! The games just kept coming and coming. Wow! That is the sweetest warehouse full o' games I've ever seen. Get ready for all kinds a crazy solicitations/offers/stupidity from klover's when they see stuff like that! I started drooling myself...
