Classic Arcade, Pinball and Console Collecting Gaming Community

I figured you collectors would appreciate this. I had a friend call me up yesterday to say "a friend of mine has me helping him haul arcade games to the dump, do you want them? I immediately headed out the door to find he'd saved me a Donkey Kong, a Dig Dug a Rastan conversion in a Berzerk Cabinet, a Sea Wolf and a n Exidy/Centuri Targ cocktail. To make the deal even sweeter I plugged in the Donkey Kong and it works. Dig Dug and Rastan just need some power supply work to get going. None are perfect but they will make some decent games when I clean them up.

Not too shabby Mark...congrats on the free games! Sadly I've never gotten one of those types of calls before. :-)

Actually I've been collecting for about 15 years now and this is the first time I've lucked out on free games.

A friend called me once and told me that there was a ms pac coctail at the side of the road. $30 later it was working. I also got a free Arch Rivals because of the ad I have on my website. Just needed a powersupply.

That's awesome man! I haven't had a call like that yet, but I make sure all my friends know that I collect arcade games, so that hopefully one day I do get "the call"! Nice score

I can't believe you've never had anyone call you Mark, for how long you've been doing this...

Are you going to post some photos?

I've had lots of calls with super deals, but this is the first time I've had the haul them away for free deal.

Jeff, I want you to know I sweated about 5 gallons pulling these out for pictures. How's that for dedication.

I think it will. I found a key for the back door and it is super clean inside. The outside looks like it's coated in cigarette smoke. I just need to get after it with some Formula 409. I also need to replace the base wood as it's gone soft.
