I was lucky enough to win a lot of 14 classic arcade machines the other day on ebay. Today I picked up my "winnings"...

This is where I picked the games up from. Evidently there was a gameroom next to this laundry place that had 14 games and 4 pins. As the games slowly died the owner just stuck the dead games in the back garage until there was 5 left...he then sold the pins to another person some time back and stashed the 5 remaining working games back in the garage so he could remodel the area where the gameroom was and rent it out.

The guy in the picture helping me is a good friend of mine, Joe.

Not a bad row... too bad they're not all working, eh?

Loading wasn't too bad. It was hot (about 90 degrees) and being the fat bastard I am, I sweated like a mother f'er, but I got over it...

First up we have Street Fighter II... it was advertised as NON-WORKING. It has a 25" monitor and is heavy as hell. The base is strange looking??

Next is a Stargate... also advertised as non-working. The overall condition appears to be quite decent...

very cool Frizz.... you might wanna check that Scramble to see if it has the Konami pcb and black box. XXI21 might be all over that (or at least the pcb). Still, its a nice early production run Scramble cab.
 
Here is the Scramble. Advertised as non-working. Overall it's in damn good shape for it's age. There is a little fraying at the bottom... the CP has a bit of damage, the bezel appears to be beautiful as does the marquee..

Ms. Pac Man is in good condition. The usual hand damage areas on each side, but the colors are nice. This unit was advertised non-working, but only because the "start button didn't work"...if you can believe that one.

Jr. Pac Man... in a Ms. Pac cabinet. There is more damage on the left side, plus I am not too keen on the Jr. Pac stickers (is there official Jr. Pac sideart for these cabs?)... front art looks good though. Advertised as Non-Working...

Dynamite Duke... in a Defender cab. Overall condition is pretty good for a conversion. Cab is solid. Would make a great Multi-Williams candidate...and notice the side with the paint coming off? I bet it wouldn't be too hard to restore.

Next we have Dragon Breed... non working... in a Williams cabinet (Robotron or Joust I do believe). Definately a Williams Multigame candidate...

Next we have Donkey Kong... the cab is in good overall shape... the T-Molding needs replacing but unfortunately, it's the offset t-molding...bah! It needs a ball for the stick as well but it was advertised as working.

Centipede is next...there are two and this is the working one...In pretty damn good overall condition...
