Some video of today's Compton, CA arcade auction. Pardon the format I am using it somewhere else
I picked up a nice, dedicated Choplifter for $65. But now that I got it home, not working anymore. So trying to figure it out now.

I was there for the preview but left before the auction started. Overall, it was better selection than some of the other recent auctions. Most of the games were not powered on most of the time - bad move on the part SuperAuctions. I thought the days of bringing your own power cord were long gone, especially since a lot of the back areas were blocked off.
Classics I recall off the top of my head:
Ms pac - working
Joust - dead monitor
Bump n Jump - working 100%. I got the high score.
Robotron - looked like power supply failure 5v.
Defender - two of them, both dead
720 - looked like it worked, monitor was a little dim.
Armor attack - working but overlay was missing
Rolling Thunder
Track & Field - working but not orig control panel
Pac Junior - conversion Ms Pac - needed monitor repair
DK Jr - needed a cap kit
A couple other DK jr cabs converted to other games
Tetris - 2 or 3 of these
Arch Rivals
Tron converted to Street Fighter
Others:
House of dead '50 working but heavy burn-in.
House of dead 2 '50 working with moderate burn in.
House of dead 2 - regular upright
Jurassic Park upright - working except the guns would not fire.
F Zero AX Twin. This was working 100% and as far as I was concerned, the best game at
the auction.
Star Wars deluxe working
Sit down drivers - several of these and most looked to be in decent condtion. I did not
see all of them turned on.
Sega Strike Fighter (dead power supply)
Jambo Safari
Guitar Hero III - this was played constantly and was very annoying to listen to.
Crisis Zone
Several other shooting games
Big Buck Hunter
Scud Racer (single unit -full motion)
Police 911 2 - japanese version. Was working 100%. Pretty cool game.
Steel Talons - didn't seem to be working.
Various fighting cabs in various stages of decay
megatouch units - maybe 15-20
A few lots of boards - mostly crap games
Skee ball machines
Kiddie rides
A DDR dancing game - working
Another guitar game - looked to be homemade.
Pins (that I recall):
Stern Sea Witch
King Tut - 1969
8 ball deluxe special edition
a widebody (can't recall the name).
TMNT (missing backglass at the very least)
Flash (beat to hell)
Overall, not a bad auction.
Seen worse.
Seen better.

Wanted to go but started new job monday and didn't want to tell them no when they asked if I could work overtime on saturday. But I'm finding it more and more difficult waiting around all day just to bid on a broken defender. I probably should have stopped by after work at 4pm driving home to Pedro on the 110.
