Y'all - this was on the LVL1 mailing list and I figured people might be
interested, esp if they are interested in arcade equipment, cabinets, etc.

Hi all,

For those of you interested in coin-op arcade machines, jukeboxes,
electronic darts, etc, there is a sale this Saturday. I know the timing
isn't great with the mini-maker faire and all, but it looks like there may
be some good deals, especially if you're planning a MAME cabinet. Check
here for pictures:

Here are the details on the page:

Two years ago I (Brent) helped to organize a sale at the warehouse owned by
a friend of mine. Time has come for another sale to liquidate equipment and
clear out space.

So, its Open House At the Warehouse 2.0 in Louisville, Ky.

The warehouse still holds a fair number of pieces and includes some
additions since the first sale.

Some dedicated games can be had. Among those are a XYBOTS, a Vindicators, a
couple of Cruis'n USAs, an Off Road with several sets of steering wheel and
pedal assemblies, B/W Exidy Robot Bowl, and 3 Hang-Ons.

The balance of the video games range from complete, converted, games to
empty cabinets that have never had a game in them.

If you are wanting an inexpensive game or two, or perhaps a cabinet for a
project, this is a great time to pick something up. This is also a good
opportunity to acquire spare parts. This will be the last sale. We will do
not plan to run another. If you want a game, a cab, or parts, this would be
the time to get them.

Here is the pricing run down:

Non-dedicated cabinet designed for a 19” monitor
$10 to $50

Non-dedicated cabinet designed for a 25 (or larger)” monitor
$50 to $75

If the game is complete in that it has everything necessary to be “a game”
(Cab, monitor, board, power supply, controls) then its going to be on the
top end of the range. The more missing the cheaper it is.

Want a crane? We have cranes. $5 to $10 each.

Want a jukebox for the game room?
Rock-Ola Mirage 3000 series 100 CD boxes $25 to $100.
Like the video games complete boxes will be on the top end. There are a
couple of parts boxes to go on the lower end.

We also have several 45RPM boxes. $50 to $150.

Skee Ball Machines. 2 (and perhaps a 3rd) available. They need
re-assembled. All as one lot, with a good sized box of balls, for $50.

Dart Machines $75 and up.

Pool tables $450.

There are also a couple of Fortune Teller Machines (including cases of
cards), some change machines, older jukebox wall boxes, candy machines,
some generic video game art that would make great game room decorations, a
few stashes of parts here and there, plush for cranes, and other
miscellaneous coin-op equipment.

Everything is fair game, just ask.

The sale will be Saturday, September the 27th.
The office is at 1508 South 7th Street, Louisville, Ky. 40208
Doors will open no later than 11:00AM Eastern.
Once on site you will see a 2 story red brick building across from the
office. On the far side of that building is a gravel/dirt lot with a
concrete loading dock/ramp. I ask that everyone gather there.

This sale will run like the first.
Once the doors open everyone will have the opportunity to come in for a
preview.
Shortly thereafter I will gather everyone together and start the sale.
If you want a piece we will label it with your name and phone number.
When you are ready to load out you pay, per item, as it is removed.
Cash only to be paid, in full, day of sale. No Credit Cards, checks, or
payment plans.
Everything is As Is / Where Is.
We will not plug anything in. Power is extremely limited and will be
dedicated to lighting.
All sales are final.
No Pre-sales.
All items must be removed the day of the sale.
Please do not try to enter any buildings until everyone is invited in.
If you have a dolly please bring it. We will have a few just in case.
We do suggest you bring a flashlight.

This process has worked well in the past. Everyone has an opportunity to
see what is there thus avoid a rush.

I have been asked about the Pac cabs and pricing. We are going to treat
them as if they were any other 19" cabinet so they fall into the $10 to $50
range depending on level of completion.

Here is the run down on games with a fixed price:

Cruise'n USA → $75
Cruse'n USA With “New” Monitor → $300
Monitor estimated to have about 100 Hours of run time on it before the game
was stored.

XYBOTS → $100 Game boots to attract mode.

Vindicators → 60 Starts blind but you can hear attract mode and it will
coin up.

Hang On → All 3 for $50. 2 are viewable, side by side, in the pictures, the
3rd is not in the same room in the building.

Deer Hunter → $130 Boots

Air Hockey table. $200. Dynamo table. Bright orange with the score display
that bridges the game. I believe this game is black light reactive.

Gauntlet Dark Legacy. $275 Boots, images shake.

I also say out a lot of parts and pieces. Taito and Williams metal PCB
mounts, Generic artwork, coin buckets and lids, jukebox wall boxes, etc.
There are many more parts available as well. You just have to do a little
digging!!
