When somebody says "Picked up," I imagine "and could put it in my pocket."
Holy COW you have some big pockets! LOL
Good find, good pics! Great stuff. I particularly would like the Pengo machine. Ice + Penguins + Fun gameplay = OH YEAH!

Yeah, that's one machine I haven't seen in a long time and had to get it. I've dealt with this guy before so he was VERY fair with the prices he gave me for all the games. I'll probably be getting a few more in the next month or two.

Jesus man that kicks some ass. I soooo want just one arcade unit, hehe. I LOVE that pengo machine! I'm thinking of trying to pick up the golden axe unit I've seen at a nearby store once I get some cash to burn. God I would love to have that.

Dammmnnnnnn. Tron, burgertime rampage??? Really really nice.
Now - where are you putting all of these? Do you keep them in storage - or do you just have a basement filled with machines?

That's a helluva find! Is the poor little Tempest working ok?

try to get outrun if you can. you should try your luck at arcade auctions, some of the older cabs can be had for cheap, 20 dollars at arcade auctions

Holy Crap! Nice haul!
Particularly the Tempest and Tron games (my faves of the lot)
Hope you don't have to eat beans and rice for the next month! :)

Nice haul, indeed. I'd really be interested to see a little backstory on this one though, since the story generally enhances the find, if not becomes even more interesting than the items themselves.
Does that Journey still have the tape inside that plays Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)? If so, *ENVY*.

I would eat beans and rice for a month for those games!!! That is one hell of a score. I really want to hear the story behind how you got these. You are very lucky to get those. Do they all work?

I hate beans. I like rice though. But not that much. Not enough to eat it every day.

same here....but i think for all those cabs i could learn to like a lot of foods that i wouldnt normally like....and shit, if you do it in february its only 28 days....not 30 or 31, you'd be getting off easy

Thanks for the props of my new additions to my arcade collection! Nearly all of them work, but the gorf (the one next to the tron) needs a new main power supply, the tempest has monitor issues that I haven't looked at yet, arch rivals needs a cap kit and the Tron may need more work than I expected. If you saw any of the games at CGE (cosmetic wise) they are in that good of condition if not better. All games come with ALL of their original docs and were VERY well taken care of and are original cabs, no conversions.
I got a very good deal on all of these, but I'd rather not say what I paid for them. I just don't think it's that important. I do have a couple more that are on the way, including a very special one. After I get the rest, I'll tell the whole story to you all.
One more thing, I will try to have some kind of Wisconsin meet at my house next year, but when that will happen I'm not sure. :)

No, just the game kits for $50. I traded for the neo and gave up a popeye cocktail (not an original) to get the neo.

Lord Vader:
Does the Gorf still have the painted control overlay intact? I'm under the impresion that those are HTF because of resting hands......
