Title: Roadtrip of the 19/08 .
Post by: kos71 on August 18, 2014, 03:10:58 PM
Hi folks ,

Just a topic to tease about our roadtrip from Tomorrow .


We go to a place where we never been and perhaps we will be injured or even lost some members but we will be brave and try to bring at least 20 cabs back .
(http://www.freneticarts.com/files/images/dvd/Il_faut_sauver_le_soldat_Ryan_338/FA_image_00014014.jpg)

With the "Burgundy Arcade patrol" we go to an old warehouse forgotten since the 90s . Owner told us to bring some helmets and gloves as the place is about to collapse .

(http://www.dday-overlord.com/img/filmo/spr/saving_private_ryan_il_faut_sauver_soldat_ryan_plateau_tournage.jpg)

It sound very risky but we have seen worth in the past .

to be continued

Nb: Not @ the same place as last RT .

Thx Nuno I hope since we do not even know what we are going to find . It is even more exciting .
Only description we got is :

"There is about 50 videos and some jukebox ".

We have 6 hours drive to imagine what we could find . I cross finger for a missile command and a space harrier ;D

We leave the arcade graveyard as nothing is good to be taken except the outrun .

We drive to an other place .

It is not a warehouse as we thought but an house in the middle of a city .
It was a pain in the ass to park the lorry.

outside in a small room we found

Place is abandonned since a long time but we found some nice cabs .

the place is very dangerous. Indeed when i walked in an are my foot when through the floor and i got my leg stuck in a hole . We will try to go there again in about 2 weeks if we can as the place is rotten . We have to save as much cab as possible .
Cabs are on 4 different floor .

To sum up we saved that time private :

galaxian
defender
asteroid
cocktail missile command
cocktail nintendo firebird
cocktail sega carnival .

other cabs are generic one that we took for a friend .

Awesome....although I would´nt let even one of those cabs back....make sure to come back again and to save everything. You might have to remove some of the buildings construction.

Watch out for my roadtrip, it even beats what you have found........I will have to take around 35+ machines...we live for days like that  ;)

From what I saw til now that title is not included, but as you may have already seen there is some awesome rare stuff like Olympia´s Portraits and another one that will let you guys totally freaking out.

But I really have to say, that roadtrip here is also high end... Asteroids, Battlezone...OMG, mine and his found are the founds of the century.....

Nice report, the place really looks like a dumpster. but you will be surprised how the cames can look after a bit of cleaning. Hopefully the electronic parts haven't suffered too much from that damp environnement.

a sticker found on a jeutel parcel and I start to investigate ;D



(http://gamoovernet.pixhotel.fr/pics/20140820133100-kos71-6.jpg)


i saw the lunar but the issue here is how do we get it out of the building knowing that the floor is rotten . you can see it on previous picutures .
I send my friend nicolas there which is 10 kilos less than me and when he start to walk there, it start to make strange noise and he went back .
We will go there for sure but we have to be careful .

we will try to save as much as possible cab but it is going to be difficult .

the funny thing was that in the truck i was saying as always if i found a missile command or a space harrier dx this is mine and we found a cocktail missile command next to the defender .
Can you imagine my eyes when i saw that .  ;D

i put a picture  of it

To be honest cab are not  Mint cabinet : T molding is getting out ,there is scratch on side , cpo is painted etc . So it is not the find of the century but it is a nice place for an arcade lover ;D
Our warehouse is getting full very fast and we will not be able to take all for us . I which we could but it is impossible .
Indeed according to the former  accounting book of the society that own the cab; there is in this building about 70 cabs there .

Hire from a shop some of these:

And install them on the beams under the floor.

Or do what I did on the Duke raid and use a crane!!

But it was not for sale.....then....André said he rented it out from time to time, just like the Puckman bootleg that was similar like the one I used to own.

Being it from Allied Leisure you could argue this is as close as you can come to a real Pong because Nolan and

Possibly a variation of Atari Sprint 1
A Sega/Gremlin Head On
A Ricochet as already stated.

Atari Sprint 1 flyer below. Looks like this may be running in a Double Pong/Pong Doubles cabinet.

The pin in the picture (Bally's "Fireball" EM) is quite desireable as well. It was produced as a solid state version later on as well, but the EM one is the one usually wanted by collectors.

I would love a Ric-o-chet yes....if the price is right.

About the cabs on that ceiling: I remember a thread on KLOV about a barn that was about to collapse.They goto the machines out though a hole in the roof IIRC using a tractor or so....not sure, maybe someone remembers the link ;) ?

I don't remember the link sorry.

I have been spending all day at work thinking about how to save all these games.

I think getting wooden beams or floor boards from a local supplier and then using 'what we call in the UK' Acros - which basically go under the floor beam to support the ceiling may be the best way forward.

Something like this:

(http://www.leedsandwakefieldbuilders.com/Assets/Part%20Two%20Storey,%20Part%20Single%20Storey%20Extension,%20Bramhope,%20Leeds_2/Part%20Two%20Storey,%20Part%20Single%20Stroey%20Extension,%20Bramhope,%20Leeds%200073.JPG)

Put the wooden beams across the rotted ones under neath, then use the acro units to support it.

kos71 - have you thought about phoning a local builder in the town? He may be able to meet you there for a small cost and actually put these safety units under the floors for you for a small cost. Saves you having to transport all of the equipment to site yourself.

Wow what a haul!! Some superb cabs there. How is the condition?

Makes me sad seeing that champ sprint on the floor, hope its saveable! If not don't leave the CP some of those parts are as rare as these cabs (i know I'm still looking for some and have been for ages lol)

Stuff like this still blows my mind, after all these years, just standing there, love the thought that anywhere in the world there could be similar places :)

it depends .
some have water damage and some not . Some are missing T molding and have schratches . We do not know so we assume the worse .

Hi,

What a fantastic discovery !  :shock:

Kos, you're definitely the best arcade hunter in France !   :wink:
Like Colombo, you need to find a Peugeot 403, I will offer you the raincoat ! And from what I saw today, I'm pretty sure that Nicogeo could do the basset hound :D !

Asteroids, Missile Command as a cocktail table, Galaxian, and a superb Battle Zone !!  :shock:

As we talked about in Arcadie last Saturday, I wish you very good luck for the rest of this fantastic RT, but be carefull and please take all the necessary precautions !...

I really look forward to read the rest of the story ! :-*

Hi,

Why dont you make me an offer.....or do you have something to trade which I would prefer.

Possibly because the cab Kos found might be 400 km away, and yours maybe 1800 km ! ;)

Or maybe because the one Kos found will have a price, it often makes life easier ;).

Kind regards,

As i already said we can not have everything since the warehouse is pretty full ;D
Some cab will be sold and some will be traded ;D .
Austria for me is not far, I was last weekend in Bretagne  to see little rabbit and made 1600 km in 2 days .
If i want something; going to austria is not an issue .
I did not open a thread for sale since i was not sure about cab status .

yesterday I went with the guys of the association to the warehouse to check cabs
