Well Trey, I haven’t sold them all, not yet. Most of the ones I’ve sold have been on Craigslist or to local people I know. Sometimes it is hard to sell them on eBay because they are so expensive to ship. On some of the machines I will end up pulling the parts out, selling the parts, and either giving or throwing the cabinets away.

This story makes me sad. I’m glad I was able to see it once. The price you quoted Cathy is almost the same I was quoted a few years ago to do the same thing (my building was going to be a home studio). I hate my HOA but we may be moving since some indian tribe I’ve never heard of wants to build a casino a mile and a f#$%ing half from our house. The HOA better fight this.

Heck yeah, that sounds good! I bought a tron machine and it was missing a coin mech so I stole one out of my mame machine. I could put that defender door right into my mame game I bet!

I’ll contact you via work email.

I’m like your dad. Such great memories. I remember us sneaking over to decorate the shed so you wouldn’t know about it until your birthday. And we all had a hand in it! And your kids always know how special their home AND their dad are!

How sad!!! When one coin door closes, another one opens. Don’t spend so much time looking at the closed coin door that you forget to look into the new one.

@Sean: That’s definitely the plan.

@Rob: Before you smash up some of the games that got water damage, why not pull the marquees, pcb’s, wiring harness, maybe the control panels and coin doors? Those pieces wouldn’t take up much room and could be used by you down the road or a fellow arcade machine collector. Man I wish we lived closer. I would come save some of those items in a heartbeat.
