I saw this and thought you folks would want to see this. I did see several pinballs, including 3 EMs and a few later models. I saw a Drag Racer, and a SAMI as well in the background.

Update: I mined the 335 images, and this is what I found and could identify (note: I couldn't make out several games)
US Marshall shooter
Singapore Woodrail
Screwball? (not sure)
Poosh-m-up 5 game
Various Pachinko games

That Bally EM is a Zip a Doo. I have one of those in our basement. It would be a cool auction to go to. I just hope it is not like the auction I went to yesterday in Laurel, NE. They had a Gottlieb Close Encounter's in fair condition that was mentioned to work, but not plugged in. It went for $1200.
 
Okay, Auction walkdown:

Disaster.

I advised my customer that he'd be in Basket Case Space on all the EM machines. Really bad corrosion of the pins, blown fuses, cut / damaged wires.

One game (a Bally Fireball) was working. However, the details are:
Two broken wires in the coin mech
Knocker wire looks burned off.
The spinner in the center doesn't spin.
The art and backglass are badly faded. The oranges are almost yellow.
The side of the body was cracked near the head, around 8 inches long - someone levered this back by the head, and then did a crappy paint over the crack repair.

Still, it worked partially. The Bally game next to it "wouldn't boot up." It's an electronic Bally game, so you know that means the MPU is probably corroded / roached.

It was so sad. There was an Aquarius that looked interesting, but someone painted over the side art with enamel.

These have already been bid up by proxy bids over $350 to $500 in some cases. Given how much work will be needed, someone's going to get soaked.

I'm not going. Seeing the games in person was a real buzz-kill.
 
I went today. The pinball's were all expensive. I believe the minimum was $500. The Zip a Doo went for $600. The Singapore went for over $1000 and was shipped to Singapore. I bought the Midway S.A.M.I. for $140. I belive it is all there, but the cabinet is in bad shape. I do not know if it was a good deal or not, but I enjoy working on these old machines and it should look cool fixed.
