My little weekend find (beware 56Kers!)! :D

[maxlords]

Well, was cruising around the net this morning and lo and behold, a local guy is GIVING away arcade machines! He said he needed em out ASAP, so I got ahold of him....darn...I'm in a lineup. Well, I got his number and called him, and the one guy can't come till next week, so it's first come first serve. He was only an hour away, so I borrowed a pickup and went right up! Here's what he GAVE me:

Yup...a dedicated Elevator Action! Too bad all I get on the monitor is this:

It needs the board fixed it seems. He also gave me this:

Strange cab...a cabaret Alien War with a Crazy Kong Part II inside (at least it works!):

Finally...he tossed in this to get it out:

A JAMMA cocktail cab! As of yet, I don't know if it works or if it's really JAMMA, and I'm afraid to test it cause I don't know which side the JAMMA should be hooked up to. I'm thinking about cleaning it out really good and then taking out hte wiring harness and replacing it with a new JAMMA one, assuming the monitor is good. It's got Popeye burn on it, but hey, it was free! He also tossed in these goodies:

I'm not sure what the two backglasses are, but I think the bottom one is Scramble. There's also a black backglass for a Pac-Man sized cab. Any way you cut it, a good haul...and all free! Today has been a GOOD day! :D

You lucky son-of-a-gun.

[Balloon Fight]

I would have pissed myself if I were you. Lucky bastard. @_@

[tholly]

Your very very lucky. Very nice find. Good thing you beat that other guy there.

[Cmosfm]

You braggard ass hole! LOL

Nah man, congrats, I'd die to find just ONE arcade machine. I can't seem to find one I want at a good price. :(

[Brisco]

I am in awe and so jealous of this kind of find. Congrats.

[mezrabad]

I would have pissed myself if I were you.

I think these sentiments are closest to my own. I can even imagine the scene. I pull up in the pickup truck and the guy shows me what he wants to give away. I laugh a little nervously and then black out, waking up about five minutes later in a pool of my own urine. Of course, this freaks the guy out and he tells me to get the hell off his property, "you pants pissin' freak!"

Funny thing is, describing it this way gives me a distinct feeling of deja vu. Hmm, wierd.

Anyway, congrats on your well used combination of sharp eyes, good luck, and strong bladder.

[DotCom]

Great finds! I don't have the room, or money for that matter, for an arcade machine though.

[crashdummycow01]

u dont have the money for free arcade machines?

[Jasoco]

Holy crepe suzette pancakes!

I'd take any Arcade machine. I just don't have anyone offering me any.

Sad thing is, even if someone came to me and said, "Hey, if you can get this thing out of my garage right now, you can have it.." I wouldn't have a vehicle to do it. So with my luck, I'd end up missing out.

[Phosphor Dot Fossils]

Outstanding! Amazing! You are a worthy collector, creature!


(And a damned lucky one!) X_x

[KirbyStar27]

[Richter]

[MarioAllStar2600]

[Castelak]

Goodness Gracious! There's your find of the year! You could sell all that for at least 300-400 hundred right now.

*bows to the luckiness*

[Kejoriv]

Wow. Great find. :)
