Title says it all. Seen an appearance from Chris-- That was me with the two kids inthe baby stroller on your way out back..... Met Andre there and seen a dedicated Centipede cabaret for $250, anther dedicated UR in a back room (didn't stay to find out), and a Bally Tapper UR. There were mostly conversions, stuff from the 90's too. Two pinballs, one was an EM and the other one was an old EM baseball. I got a few pics on my cell phone but won't be able to upload them until tonight after work. How nice are the Roadblasters Chris??
 
Was pretty lame however I got two games for 100 each and my first jukebox not bad just dispointing none of the games or cabs I desire most where present.
 
Did you pick up the Rowe CD juke? I seen the older on with the load of 45s in it.
 
No I got the one that said Country fire on it has a phoenix type bird on it pretty sweet.

That was a groovy lookin' one! I'll have to go through my pictures tonight and see what I captured at the auction!
 
I only ended up with one road blasters and three other cabinets. All of these are getting scrapped as usual and damn i could have really filled up the KLOV cemetary with the crap that was in that building. So much junk and so little time. You should have said hi or somethin yoda.
 
As soon as I realized it was you, you were boogying at the back door. The only ID that I recall it was you is from the Phetabulious pictures Phet had of you a ways back in old threads somewhere where you're holding up a beer. I asked Andre if it was indded the tear-down ledgend and he confirmed it was you.

Was Shawn and Ross there too? I got there at 10:30 and hung around until 11:20 then jetted 1.5 hours back with the kids in tow...

Maybe next time there guy!!!
 
$325 or $350 it was the second machine sold and it actually had very nice front and side art. That was probably the bargain of the day.


I wish I could've gone just for that. I'd like to have an upright (Tapper) and then just sell my cocktail outright or put it on ebay. Space is becoming an issue here. Figures I'd miss out on the deal of the day. Next time I guess.
 
It's okay John-- there are other Tapper's in the sea, maybe this one wasn't meant to be with you.....

It would've if I would've taken your advice and called Andre' right after I talked to you. He would've picked it up for me and then turned around and made money on the deal in the end; making everyone happy. Shit. I knew I would somehow blow it. Guess I shouldn't be so greedy. Wonder if there is anyone out there that would trade their upright for my cocktail even-up?
 
When I got there it was already auctioned off. I believe it was one of the 1st items to go too. Timing is everything there buddy, sorry I couldn't have helped! I'll be out of work here in an hour-- I'll post pictures up then...

No biggie Jim; like you said another one will come around. Guess I could get off my ass and post up a "For Trade" thread for my cocktail if I really want to get rid of it, right? Kinda have mixed feelings since its so rare and I've had it for almost 10 years. In the end that extra space in my arcade is going to be needed...
 
I'd post it up, heck I or anyone out here can vouch for the quality of games in your collection. I know that Tapper is next to mint, too bad I suck at it as well as have space limitations at the moment too. As Nike would do, "Just do it"
 
While the selection kinda sucked, though a lot of great buys! sign of the times i guess, it was cool to see the local's in 1 room... Had fun today guys.. nabbed 2 machines... got rid of one.. (thanks phetish) and had my first MN arcade auction experience.
