Grabs so far this year, would like to see other collectors as well.

You could load it on a pallet and send it to me so I can build a real Tempest finally!

OMG would love to see this happen. I have an unpopulated control panel for it I can donate for your resto and bring it with me at the end of the year.
 
Might make @DLP shed a tear though...

Yeah I saw that particular machine the last time it was for sale about a year ago.... I passed because I just figured it would be easier to find an entire D-Day machine than to find the individual parts like control panel, etc. to convert it back.

Similar to Centuri's Aztarac,... D-Day has a very unique joystick that was only found on D-Day and no other game.
 
When did you acquire the "obscure game" magnet that you must keep in your pocket at all times @Dillweed ?
I believe you own more games I've never heard of than anyone else I know.
:)
I have visited @Dillweed and swapped more than a few games at this point. His collection is one of my favorites Ive ever seen. There are a few games in the mix that are faifly common. But they are dwarfed by all of these games i had never seen and often never even heard of. His garage is packed but accesible to play. And if your are really nice, he might even let you see the Bronze Age room. Which again, is more stuff you will wish you had. Its weird. If you just had one or two of these odd duck games you wouldn't think much of it. But to see them all in one space is pretty wild.

Whats even better, is he really has a good handle on the history of them and knows places to look that i would have never thought of. He's also younger than me by more than a bit (and i consider myself fairly young for this hobby in my mid 40s.) So more than likely he is going to end up with all of our games in the long run.
 
Grabbed this beauty today..lol Needed the board set for my street fighter cabinet. No idea what I will do with the rest of it.View attachment 848410
That is a simple green wipedown, Game Elf install, add a multigame marquee, and drop it on facebook for 500 bucks and take the first offer from anyone willing to come get it.
 
This one I debated building from a Circus Charlie but love my CC and didn't want to procure one to convert so I actually found a dedicated Mikie with the Japanese paperwork inside and correct Monroe joystick..appears someone tried to "refresh" it through the years I think..interesting the inside is painted white and the crt has tron screen burn but just got it so have more investigating to do and will send more pics but grabbed this quick as I really enjoy this game.
Amazing I would love to have a dedicated mikie

I don't think I knew that about the joystick, very interesting. As always, pulling for ya in the hunt

Definitely appreciate the kind words haha

I'm hoping to build a dedicated space for all of them here in a year or two. I want to move to a place where I can build a FLW-esque MCM bungalow in my design to house them all. Maybe that's too ambitious, and definitely a rocket punch to the wallet but if I'm able to pull this kind of magic trick with all these oddball neato games, maybe I can pull a miracle out of my hat.

At 26 years old, I'd like to think I have time make it count.
