I have a friend that's been looking for a Deluxe Afterburner for a while... we finally found him 1, actually... 2, the guy had two of them. So... we picked one up at his place of work, then went to his house to pick the other one up... it was in his garage.
He had one of the best personal collections of machines I think I've ever seen in person. Everything was shopped, cleaned, and amazing. Ded'd Majoy Havoc, Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters, 720, Tempest, Space Duel, Gravitar, Lunar Lander, Space Invaders Deluxe, EDOT, Ghosts n Goblins, Ghouls n Ghosts, Ded'd Space Ace, Dragonslair, Cobra Command... I'm having trouble remembering all of them, I'm just remembering the ones that stuck out to me. All in amazing shape. We managed to get the Tempest off of him, but he was reluctant to let much of anything else go... 'cept the Space Duel which he wanted to get rid of, but for $350 or so, the guys I was with didn't want to pay it... I'd've taken it in a heartbeat had I had the money.
Over all... great road-trip. For those that are local, there are some new machines at the arcade locations here in Nashville. Satan's Hollow and Tempest at Rivergate, Ghosts n Goblins and Toobin' at Hickory Hollow. The Afterburner Deluxes aren't on location, nor will they be any time soon. They're at my friend's garage and they'll be staying there for a loooooooooong while because NO ONE feels like moving those things again ANY time soon. We picked up a few boards as well, they'll be randomly popping up at Hickory Hollow in the "game of the week/month" cabs there.
