Went on a warehouse raid today... well it was an abandoned church that was used for storage. Good news and bad news.
The good news is that I found a bunch of machines: Defender, Stargate, Joust, Phoenix, Centipede, Tempest, Mario Bros, Donky Kong Jr, Kram, Caterpillar (?), Cocktail Defender, Dragon's Lair, pinball machines including: KISS, Harlem Globetrotters, Mata Hari (ss), James Bond, Spider Man, Buck Rogers and others.
The bad news is that the place flooded and the games got up to two feet of water. And have been sitting for years.
I've made a deal where I can cannibalize any of the games - or take them all but the videos seem to be in pretty bad shape. The pinballs aren't as bad - backglasses are in pretty good shape (except for the Harlem Globetrotters). Aside from the obvious, like the KISS machine, is there anything worth salvaging from the games? I've gotten the marquees, pulled the whole Kiss machine, and plan to grab the backglasses from the other games. I haven't had a good look at the playfields for the pinballs - they may be in decent shape but I'm wondering if there's any parts/pieces that are hard to find that I should get? Anyone out there looking for anything in particular? The pinballs all appear to be in mostly complete condition.
