Thanks to Mongo (Pat) who clued me in to this. This was advertised as 7 warehouse/storage spaces of equipment. When we met up with the guy everything had been consolidated into 3 storage units. Not many classics, a lot of conversions. I bought a partially working Ice Cold Beer and non-working Afterburner for a couple of beans as a package deal. Within hours of getting home both the Ice Cold Beer and Afterburner are now fully working. The Ice Cold Beer needed 2 new belts (Thanks Pat for the 1/8inch wiper tubing fix) and a leaf switch fixed. The Afterburner was missing a main fuse. I popped a new one in and it came up fully working with shaker motor. I also picked up a new unboxed candy machine and a commercial wood style trash can for the gameroom. Just to clarify, I only took home a couple of items, not everything they had.

looks like alot of cool stuff in there. Are you going to sell some off, or is it going all to your house? By the way ,there are some people out there who would kill for that Ghostbusters kit!
 
Nice score. I always liked STUN runner, hope to have room someday. Looks like a great bunch of classics just waiting to be restored. I think that tetris was either a Joust or Moon Patrol. How were the prices?

I edited the opening message. Just to clarify, I only took home a couple of items for a couple of beans, not everything they had. I would have jumped on that Stun Runner but I already own one, and the flip value is not the much for one.

SOme people say its the worst game of all time but ive always wanted one!!!

How many people showed up to this? My boss was thinking about going to get a few games.

I don't know how many people showed up. We were the first ones there. A few people showed up after us. The seller and I made a verbal agreement on the 2 I wanted so we just kept casually looking. Finally, when I saw more 3 vehicles pull up I gave the guy cash and loaded up that Ice Cold Beer really quick, before it got sold out from under me for more money. Yeah, a seller recently broke a verbal agreement while I was on the highway to his place, so you get burned once you learn. He can't resell it when its loaded in my van.

I'm a fan of Time Traveler, not Holosseum. In my opinion to find/buy the laserdisc and control panel for Time Traveler would have been too expensive. Plus that monster was much bigger than I remember, The picture I took doesn't do it justice. The location was Lindbergh and 270 in St. Louis.
 
Were the 2 pinball machines still left? What sort of prices was he talking? I had emailed him and he said $400-600 a machine but I imagine he wouldn't sell many at that price.
