I am working on a project with a friend. As an intro video to this project we are looking for some video footage or pictures of cabinets that have been out in the weather. Mostly a large group of cabinets together, kind of like a graveyard of sorts.

If you have anything you don't mind me using feel free to post here or pm me. Thanks.

I thought there was a thread before with arcade cab horror pictures. I can't seem to find it though. Man, these are painful to look at. :(

Parts off of those games lived to see another day. I know I got some Two-Tigers and Scramble parts from those machines.

There was also a soggy pile of sawdust in the warehouse that had been a Frogger that donated some parts.

So it wasn't a complete loss.

I didn't have a camera but the first warehouse raid I went on was a waterlogged mess. Some really nice games came out of there in great shape (including the Pac-Man I still own). Unfortunately, there were some that didn't make it. What I saw in that place are games in the worst circumstances I could imagine. The ceiling had leaked badly. One room had 3 or 4 early 80s Bally pins with major water damage. The head and playfield on one were rotten and sagging. The others were in no better condition. There were a couple of Space Invaders that were a loss. A soaking wet Centipede yielded parts. The worst one for me was a Carnival that disintegrated as I was parting it out (a grail for me).


I'm actually glad that I don't have pics of that one. It was really bad. Fortunately, the Pac I have was in a seperate building that did not leak.
