Memorial Day Warehouse Raid / All your Pole Position are belong to us.

There's a guy about an hour north of me that's been advertising heavily on Craig's List, so I drove up last month to take a look and came back with a Rampage. He's been making a bunch of bulk buys, then fixing and selling. I took another trip up yesterday, and this time I got some photos. He's got games everywhere.

In the main warehouse,

So, what did I bring back from all this goodness? Every Pole Position he had. Four Pole Positions, all converted to PPII, all broken.

One of them had a switcher hacked in with the ARIIs and played blind, so after a couple of hours, I had this:

Then after another hour and some power supply swapping, I had this:

That's two working PPIIs, and one of them using the ARIIs! Hooray!

Hmmm... looks like a Capcom Bowling board on that Gals Panic control panel...

Paging Phet! There are kiddie rides there!
 
Demolition Derby UR, complete with the correct burn-in. Woo hoo! Would've been all over that one...
 
A few gems in that bunch but am I to understand he's been buying up games in hopes to resell them? Another hoarder with the fantasy. I'm glad you got some out from underneath... I think its safe to say from the pix that a lot of that stuff is conversion crap he'll be holding onto for a while.

Sounds like your typical Pole Position cab. ;) Congrats on getting a couple of them running already. Having a working board is most of the challenge.
 
Congrats on your raid, love the PP's I only have one question for the masses:

whats the orange cockpit in the first pic, its round the middle I think, all you can see is the top rear side I would say.....Orange, burnt orange????

I saw that too...I'm guessing given the back curved window that it's a painted pole cockpit. Probably converted to another racing game.
