A few members asked me to post pictures of the Robo 2084 mini i bought here in BC,





 
Wow...just...wow. How in the world did you find a NIB mini like that? That must've been the deal of the century. Consider me jealous! :D

There were a few games, more than a few actually found in a warehouse that was owned by an old Distribuitor of games from the 70's - 90's. In there they found many games still in the box unopened from the 70's and 80's. Some of the coolest were Robotron Cocktails, the Robotron 2084 Mini's, a Space Wars from 1977! The games were found in British Columbia Canada, not far from where i live. The guy that found the and bought all the NIB games called it the Time Travel Warehouse, or something like that. Hope you enjoyed the video, although there was a few from this place it's still not something you see everyday.
 
That's just phenomenal. Most of us can only dream of being involved in a situation like that. I'm sure it was a heart-pounding moment for you to see a bunch of NIB machines. Did anyone take video of the warehouse? That would be cool to see.
 
wow that is pretty sveet robotron mini. geez I've never seen a used one before let alone a NIB. nice find. video probably doesn't even do it justice. $3k is what you paid? might have to go back and read your other thread. nice arcade as well.
 
I bought quite a few of those NIB games back in 2006...1 Robo mini (sold it before opening), 3 Make Trax minis (sold 2 of them, still have one unboxed), and 4 cocktails like Jack the Giant Killer...sold all 4. Cool stuff.
 
Yep...I got a decent pluck from that find too...although there was so much I wish someone had an inventory as that stuff went all over the world...

I got a NIB Make Trax upright/NIB Make Trax mini/NIB Robotron Mini/NIB Joust/NIB Jack the giant killer Upright (Naomi version-different from US version)NIB Jack the giant Killer cocktail/NIB Universal Zero Hour/NIB Space Panic

I also have a NIB Pengo and NIB Atari Subs..that were not from this warehouse find..so I consider myself pretty lucky to have these in my collection.

That is awesome, your the one that needs to be making the video lol
 
Awesome video!!! That Robotron Mini is Soooooooo Sweeeeeet!!! What kind of marquee is on that Armor Attack? Cool Arcade Bro......:cool:

Hey brother, That is the Rock o'la version of the Cinematronics Armor Attack. They bought the license from Cinematronics and changed the cabinet a little, the marque, side art and control panel art. In Canada i believe the Rock ola Version was more common? I had never seen a Cinematronics version except in the US arcades. Also on the boards all Rock ola did was stamp their name right across the Cinematronics name on the pcb's lol.

I thought it might be Rock o'la. Did Rock o'la have 2 different marquees? I frend in Boise had a Rock o'la, I remember the marquee saying Rock o'la but thought it looks different than yours? Very cool machine bro!!:cool:

Yep, it's a cool machine, i put a new monitor tube in it about a year ago and i have an extra set of boards that have the crazy Rock ola Stamp over Cinematronics lol.

I have only ever seen the one rock ola marquee, get your buddy to send a picture i would like to see this other one.
 
Robo Mini NIB nice stuff

I bought one of the Robo Mini's NIB from John and he was great to deal with. Mine had some rough touch ups on the back door in black where they did some fast spray paint touch ups but sides were perfect. Other things were the bezel lights were not working, 25+ year old packing tape on front of coin door holding an envelope with documents. It was awesome to unpack and the batteries had not leaked! Amazing! I know I got a really good deal shipped on mine Canadian but I think John should ask $3K for his last one. They were a deal at around $2000 when he had a few. Its one of the best machines in my collection and sits nicely beside a rebuilt Stargate Mini, and a custom Sinistar Mini (both were originally Make Trax Mini's). I can't feel the love for Make Trax!

If I could find another I would build a Joust or Mystic Marthon next.
