Here's some more pictures of Gregatron and ThatGuy's Fresno Sale back in October. This was after they had taken games out and there were even more games/pins at the Op's house. Just awesome.

Man, a lot of chassis! Wish I could run into something like this in my local area, then again I'm running out of space as it is until i can get a bigger living quarters.

Yeah, there were definitely deals. Not just on games and pins, but also monitors, PCBS, MVS carts, some art, misc. parts, etc. Though, it was definitely more for the JAMMA crowd as far as complete games.

I drove away with:
Working dedicated 4-slot Neo Geo MVS Cabinet
Working K7000 Monitor
3 Wonders PCB/Marquee
SFA3 CPS2 PCB
MSvSF CPS2 PCB
Misc Parts (buttons, wires, etc.)

In addition to random parts/PCBs, Prairied1ll0 drove away with I think 6-8 cabs (I forget) altogether, many of which he now has in service. We were hauling partners through the whole ordeal making two separate trips and helped Gregatron and ThatGuy however we could. It was a blast.

Not a big warehouse raid but the only one I have pictures for. I have heard that Skull and Crossbones is a fairly uncommon game but have only seen this one. The Painted Lady in the Kong cabinet is something I had never heard of before or since. There is no KLOV listing for it. Does anybody know what the hell it is? The guy wanted big bucks for the Centipede, even though it had the crack near the CP. Yes, unfortunately, 6 games and a Megatouch were being stored OUTSIDE. Yeah. I didn't even really look at those. I figured it wasn't worth the time. No telling how long they were out there. The place was owned by the boss of my ex-boss. I ended up with a Two Tigers in a Tron cab that I overpaid for. I later turned it back into a Tron.

Was definitely a gold mine for JAMMA stuff. I walked away with a MK2 and Pole Position (PP worked as well...that's something by itself ). A 25 inch monitor. Every NOS speaker in the place (a lot of cabs I get in have blown speakers, so I jumped on those ). Some power supplies. A lot of art. Snagged a good pile of boards. CPS2 selection was varied (I think Prairied got most of that), CPS1 was mostly SF2RE. A lot of MK1/2 board sets (good for my MK2 project). Also snagged a Red Hawk kit, In The Hunt and a Raiden Fighters Jet board.

There was a weird "small world" situation where two guys from my pinball league snagged the Batman Forever and Jackbot pins. Small world in that I didn't mention the sale to them, since I thought it was all vids and they are def pin heavy guys.

It was the best warehouse arcade deal I've had. I've had ..."raids"...before, but it is usually the "I gotta clear this junk out" cock tease followed by the op checking Ebay on every little screw and bolt you look at. This one was legit. Bay Area/Central CA people def owe those two guys for opening it up to us.

Were we there at the same time? Should have met!!!!

Yeah I brought my test rig and we tested every decent CPS2 set that was available and sorted them out. We bought all of the working decent owes. I got a nice collection from there!

I think I showed up after you tested a bunch of them and picked up your cabs. There were still some CPS2 boards laying around. I picked up the gray Darkstalkers set and a couple A boards. I also snagged the Warriors of Fate CPS1 Q-Sound board which has something odd going on with its JAMMA connector. Do you remember that board specifically? IIRC it looks like a JAMMA harness is stuck on it.

When I showed up the second time for the Pole Position, I think all the CPS2 stuff was cleaned out.

Yeah dude, you got all of our leftovers.

Just kidding. There was definitely plenty to go around as I can see from your pictures. Haha.

We should definitely hang sometime. You going to CAX?

I'm leaning towards yes. Yeah! Be cool to see some KLOV people.

 

[PrairieDillo]

Yeah we tried to bring up Warriors of Fate as I wanted it. We had a long day and were on a schedule to get in and out. Still needed to get his MVS from Pauls house... so we jet.

 

[elnuno71]

I remember the fresno warehouse raid... Good times. Scored my Galaga cocktail there. Lots of work and long days.. I remember stumbling home around 3 am with my chonies tattered.. Haha

 

[Angry_Radish]

Impressive, or depressing?
May as well post these again....

 

[R3LL1K]

I opicked up about 17 cabs in this one.

The only games I still have left from this deal are:

Revolution X
Zombie Raid
R-Type
Spider Man

 

[smalltownguy2]

Did you restore the John Deere? Or part it out?
