Sad pictures of arcades 11/04/25

[mr.fixit]

Decay from storage and neglect of building. Does anyone need certain parts?

 

[cnlmoore]

Lots of good parts there for sure. I'd be pulling monitors

 

[mopar5150]

Every piece of that Star Castle has value as does the Asteroids monitor.

I'd be interested in that Star Castle monitor overlay...

 

[mopar5150]

Lots of good vector goodies in there. Too bad you are on the other side of the country.

@lgsteelers may need some Star Castle parts.

 

[DonPanetta]

If it were up to me I'd gut everything. Every monitor, bracket, coin door, any unique bit of metal etc.

I could use a Keltron and cinematronics PSU maybe.

Also Sega PSU...

Omgwhy

 

[jawhn]

Omgwhy

...right?

That poor Space Encounters. Ugh.

 

[Jamesv833]

I could use a white Asteroids coin bucket.

 

[bottlejunkie]

I miss my AD, wouldn't mind having that marquee.
I did a raid like this once where almost every game was ruined but I came home with a truck load of parts that I sold on here. that Tron joystick and whatever else is salvageable for example, there is money to be made in there.

Any Red Tents?

 

[bottlejunkie]

or Playchoice carts?

 

[vintagegamer]

Is there a game in there anywhere called Shop Vac Attack?

 

[Scott C]

Even if the cabinets are trashed, save every part you can. I see lots of greatness there. Hopefully, many of the cabinets can be saved.

[rdudding]

I would buy all those Missile Command parts from you.

 

[gutz]

This is a "so others may live" mission. The only reason we all can find original parts to restore/fix/deconvert our games is because another game was parted out - it's a sad reality that most don't ever think about.

 

[ArcadeTechGW]

This is truly sad, but reflective of the mindset.

I had an OP in Morris, Il (Donico) who had a closet full of PCBs. I left a card with a note "If you ever decide to get rid of these, call me."

They got rid of them. They didn't call me. *$^@*($^@)*&^$@*&^$*(@&^$*@&^$*!&^$*(&$^@!*&$

 

[steph]

There appears to be a dead body half-wedged into the back of a cabinet.

You might want to get the authorities to look into that !
