So I work for a local vendor as a service tech. only been there about 3 months...I know a good bit about arcades...and am learning about jukes, pooltables, and bartops. Anyways....we've had a sega hang on in the shop since I started, supposedly the monitor was out. This is the sit down full size fiberglass motorcycle version, not the upright handle bar only. Upon further inspection, we found that when it was moved out of the location it was in, they used a forklift to grab it underneath the base, and destroyed a good bit of the boards and wiring. So the boss says "Pitch it!".
A good bit of my day today was spent taking a reciprocating saw to the fiberglass motorcycle body and pitching it in the trash. The whole base we're taking to a metal recycler for some cash. I fealt terrible tearing this game to pieces. My hobby is finding and restoring games....now I find myself tearing them apart and pitching them as a job. Talk about Irony!!
Also, my first day was spent hacking up a Star Wars Trilogy sit down cab...only to find out later that the only thing wrong with it was the monitor went bad...then yesterday we took sledgehammers to two claw machines. Of course we salvage good parts for use in other games...but the Star Wars had the boards and all!! If I'd know I would've taken them!!
