Well Got a call today from my friend who has tons of games in his garages..so much he had left 3 of them outside (under tarps) for quite sometime. So he said they were mine if i wanted them...Sure. Get over there and find 2 yes 2 Top Landing Sitdown flight games and 1 sit down Air Inferno. We had a extenison cord and all 3 powered up with sound but all 3 had some sort of monitor issue. Got the games home and i am learning on the go and its not going good! None of the games will fit in the front or back door. My hatchway might do the trick if i take the doors off now there in my yard under tarps.. I still cant wait to get to work on them and see what i can do with them, also looking forward to see whats on the insides of the games see as they were outside for a looong time. Well that my 1st post to introuduce myself...wish me luck lol!
 
can you not dismantle them and take them inside in pieces.you dont want to be working on cabs in a nice place.now you got cabs you need work space.

oh and good luck.if you are like a lot of us,you will get bitten and in no time at all you will have at least 6 by the end of the year.
:)
 
well, just figured out they will fit in the hatchway to the basement,but i wont have help tomorrow. As soon as i get them in i have to give them a good cleaning and figure out what to do basically. Dont know if I want to make 1 working top landing out of the 2 or try to fix and restore them both.There in ok to ruff shape,I didnt make it better by breaking the bottoms of the wood while moveing them (rookie mistake). I would like to fix them both,since they both turn on-but well see. Yes This is just the beginning of the collection!
 
lol. Ive wanted to take a chainsaw to the house Before I got the Games!!! I remeasured and should be able to get them in the basement and cant wait to..Ill post some pics in the next couple of days the only one for now is my avatar.Yes thats a tarp on it!
 
the only thing better than getting your first games... getting them for free.

that's a nice score... let us know if your friend ever has too many more games he needs to get rid of
 
I have to believe that is the first thing any new collector experiences, and most forget to mention, will the games fit through your doorways. Ran into that problem with my 2nd & 4th games, had to remove two doors & the control panels off of each in order to fit them in. I'd like to get a sit down driving game or two, but I at least know what I need to look for in a game.......the size :D Welcome to the club and good luck.
 
I would open the back doors and clean them up BEFORE you bring them into the house. You never know what had been or currently is in a game until you open it up!
 
Like ITO said, you may be bringing termites, mice, rats, etc. and all the disease that comes with their filth into your house. Inspect everywhere in those cabs before you bring them in.
