Saw this posted on UseNet. Looks like the guy is opening up this Friday and Saturday (12 - 4)

Theres a lot of good retro stuff in there, both mechanical and video. I've just never seen that many games at one location!

He doesn't sell though.He takes the best parts and builds the nicest/cleanest machine. He is like the hitler of arcades and those are his arien races. I believe he sells some though.

geez, just because your web-hoster says 5GB/day doesn't mean you have to have a front page with THAT MANY PICTURES on it.

Well, if someday he decide to sell, he could make a little fortune.

I don't think he really has too good of an idea how many games he has there... I think he's told me maybe 700 or so, but that might be low. I'm about 25 minutes from there and I head down every few weeks just to look around. I haven't bought anything from him yet so I don't know how the prices are in general, but I hear he's good to deal with, and the prices he gave me for the Pong and Computer Space machines were reasonable. The overwhelming majority of the games are stripped, but it is still kind of fun to turn down each aisle and see a dozen of the same game.

The place is huge..I know a few people who have went to see it..
I've actually spoken to the owner a few times looking for Misc spare/hard to find parts.

He's a nice guy IMO..
He's helped me out with some parts I needed.

But,I've never been there myself.
I'd really love to see that place..I'd probably get lost in that place and wouldn't want to leave.

He never has any Neo Geo MVS stuff/cabs though.. :(

If I had that many cabs sitting around, I would open a retro arcade. That is seriously awesome.

Hey that place is not too far from where I live. I may have to make a trip up to Hagerstown, MD. The open house hours only seem to be for the first and 3rd Saturdays of the month. So I don't think it will be open this weekend. I could try and call tomorrow to find out.
