Well, i've come to the realization that it's going to be years before i have anywhere to keep my games where i can actually enjoy them. I have nowhere to put even a single game. Currently, i have about 5 in my workshop, a 12X16 barn beside the house that is full to the door. I also have 10X10 and 10X20 storage units competely full. I am keeping a few, and putting them in the barn:
Pacman
Foodfight
Crazy Climber
Starblade
missile command
Babypacman
The rest i need to sell. 95% of what i need to sell, the cabinets are trashed. I bought them that way, since i can always make a new one, or bought it with the intention of copying the cabinet, then replacing it. I need to figure out what to do.. Here's my options:
1. make a new cabinet, transfer over all the parts, and restore everything else. Rebuilt electronics, all metal refinished, new overlays/art/cpo's etc.
2. Make a new cabinet, and include the old cabinet, with it working. let the buyer finish off the restoration end, and transfer parts.
3. make a new cabinet, install new art and T-molding, and then include the original game working for the buyer to transfer.
4. make a new cabinet, strip the old game, and just send all the parts in a box.
I have a few games, i'm going to restore all the way..
1. Major havoc dedicated
2. Quantum
3. Quantum
4. Lunar lander
5. Gauntlet
6. Gauntlet 2
7. warlords cocktail
Other games off the top of my head, that can go any of the above mentioned options..
Stargate
Stargate mini
Defender
Robotron
joust
Death race
asteroids
asteroids
asteroids deluxe
black widow
tempest
centipede
centipede cabaret
tron
elevator action
Mario widebody
Bagman
I'm sure there's a couple more, that's what i can think of off the top of my head. The easiest way is just make a new cabinet, and send the old one working. Some of these, the cab is gone, parts are in a box already, a few the cabs will get broken down and copied. I need the space, i need the money, i need to get rid of the storage units, and i need my sanity back.
let me know what you think. I'd like to concentrate on this starting in Feb....
