never noticed this one....it's even uglier than the Wimi's !!!!!!


Yeah, it was reverse before i took the picture..
I saw Atari alu stickers on the back of it, so i was curious what it was, as for the shape, does that not look like the breakout shape ??

OMG !!! If that is true than that is the WORST conversion I've ever seen !!! Poor poor Breakout !

Isn't it jus amazing....I've been to that warehouse so many times now...but all you guys' pics make me see new things almost every time.....

I guess I've always been in "classic arcade scanner" mode. F.I. I never really noticed the Neo Geo's (that's why I never listed them).
Also some of the kiddy-ride artwork is pretty cool or at least noticeable....I simply always seem to look over such things.

In a way...this whole thing looks like a piece of art....like an industrial heritage...some pics really wow me :)

I don't think any of the pinballs were for sale. Those are "new" one's they may still have on route...but I'm not sure.

The guy with the hat was the seller's son. It's better to do business with the dad though...

Did we mention that the seller's wife kindly made us a pot of soup during the day, that was great :) Talked a bit with her and she said that if it were up to her, her husband should have got rid of ALL the machines...but.....I think we have to thank him for keeping them for such a long time !!

Well, it's certainly not supposed to look like that.

Mechanized Attack is in very good condition and works except for the monitor. Erik told me that he had actually played it on one of our earlier visits...
The monitor sounded like having a bad fly-back. Since it's a wide-screen monitor I have no clue what chassis that was, Hantarex maybe ?

Wide screen you mean 16/9 format or 25" diagonal?
From what i have seen it's not a mtc9110.
The guns also have wear and tear issues, like wiggling, and seems to had some gear teeth damaged.. :?

I have a weak weak spot for kiddy rides, but that takes up even more space than cabs.
I asked the seller and he told me they were not for sale at the moment, lucky me !!!

AH , I didn't check that (or notice)...it's a 16:9 as far as I could see.

Just got back. Thanks everyone for the nice rt.  Special Thanks to level42 for sharing.

You're welcome ! I hope the NBA got home dry !! Next time bring a plastic tarp;)

That was a big surprise by the way, all the times I've been ther I never saw it, Then again, it couldn't have been any further hidden in the back !!!  ;D

it was mostly dry thanks to chris who kindly lend me one of his mat, thanks mate ! In the end there was lots of surprise ;) Bad point the son of the owner removed the keylocks in the front and kept the keys , so now i'll have to drill the remaining keyslocks
