Upstate Troy New York Warehouse raid ICB Burgertime Joust Starwars Cockpit HOLY SHIT!

That's right!!!

Mike (masco73) and myself followed up on a local CL post today to check out some games in a warehouse in Troy, New York.

As I was walking around with the owners son checking out what games he had Mike wandered off looking on his own.

He then comes over and gives me a look that tells me right away that he sees something. As we walked around the corner there sits a Starwars cockpit! I almost creamed my pants!

We try to keep our cool and ask if it was for sale. The owners son tells us that he wasn't sure. He said it doesn't work and they were thinking of converting it to something else. UGH!!!

So I tell him I'm interested in the Joust, ICB, Burgertime and Starwars cockpit. He says he doesn't think his dad wanted to sell the ICB and that we need to talk to him. So we go out to the office. I tell his father what I'm interested in (praying that he will sell the Starwars cockpit) and he said he would.

So without wasting anytime we go back to Mike's house and grab his van, pickup truck and head back over to load everything up.

I still can't believe we found a Starwars cockpit sitting in a warehouse all these years that was local to us.

OMGWTFBBQ!!! WOOT!!! :D

Awesome, any other goodies come home? Mike grab anything nice? anything left there? :D

Edit: Those look like they're in almost pristine condition (sit down and joust), glad the rain held off for a bit so you guys could get these home.

Yeah all four were in really nice shape. The SW cockpit and the Joust were in the best shape. The rubber bottom protectors were still intact on both sides of the Joust. You hardly ever see that. Because of that the bottom has no damage. I'm glad we got them back to Mike's without any rain issues.

They still have a bunch of stuff over there. A Hangon, WWF and some others as well as a ton of touchscreen machines.

One cool thing is they build thier own cabinets there. They had a ton of custom made stuff.

You should check them out. :)
 
I might but more for a couple friends of mine, I've got enough projects right now i guess.... (yea.. right... lol)

What's with Troy Cabinet Shops and video game hording???
 
I'll go ahead and say it, since everyone is being all polite... We all hate you. :D

Nice score!
 
The starwars has a busted tube, He was going to mame the thing for his grandson last time i was there and wouldnt sell it, I new i should have stopped by the last time i was up there, fuck!
 
so do you just choose anyone for a human sacrifice to get these kinds of scores, or does it have to be a virgin?

That has nothing to do with it. Steve has a statue in his office that activates a secret slide to his cadehauler van in a secret cave. He then activates Nitros and is first on the scene.

In the past I have fallen victim to one of the classic blunders -The most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" -but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go against a SRW when a game he wants is on the line!"
 
That is freakin' awesome. Hard to believe that a SW cockpit was sitting in a warehouse like that. I can't believe they were going to convert it! :eek: That ICB looks nice, I am dying to find one of those...
 
Nice grab Steve, glad that you found me a nice Joust. wink wink

Will be up by you Monday and Tuesday, if you need any help with anything. :)

While that is quite flattering it really comes down to the basic rules...

Have cash in hand and a vechicle(s) ready to roll! ;)

I was thinking of you today my friend as I drove by the Richmondville exit of I-88 on yet another game run. :)
 
Good find, but I gotta ask... What in the hell was the op planning on "converting" this to? In year 2011? What, like Friction? Buck Hunter World?
