"ZOMBIE ARCADE APOCALYPSE-

Arcades aren't dead... they're UNdead.
Dig Dug's digging out of his grave... to dig one for you.
Pac Man's through with pills... he wants your brain.

Coming soon to a theater near you... if you DARE.

*Sinistar face appears*

~BEWAAAARE... WE LIIIVE~

-SUMMER 2011-"

Japan is a big consumer country. This is exactly what I imagined. As big as arcades are over there, im sure they churn through them like crazy and just dump the old ones out to make room for the newest stuff...sad really..
 
Well, I suppose that now we know why these guys in California are able to buy/sell these cabinets for about what you would expect it to cost to have them shipped over on a boat in bulk! They have no value to them, once a "new" cabinet replaces an old one...

Where can you get old candy cabs for that kind of a price!? I've been after one for a couple years and haven't seen one for below 500...

Wow..

dunno, Mabey its the geek in me or what, but I see some looked similar to candy cabs. Buttons galore, possibly some coin mechs?. Dunno, Seems like there is a lot of salvageable parts, I would hope if anything that they will recycle all materials..
