Not sure how old you are, but we played this shit outta this at Pinball Pete's Ann Arbor in 1998.

Turbo out run 4 years ago....

If an auction could be held and marketed properly; He could make bank by just selling the 40% of pins that have been out of order since the new place opened in April. Only aboot 30% of the videos and arcade games are down so maybe sell those too. All museum quality too.

Not sure if this coin pusher can be auctioned....

Holosseum gave me flash back of Dragons Lair, it looked so amazing until you put your quarters in and played it.

Never mind, looks like the coin pusher isn't Customer Property after-all. And it's not gonna be auctioned either.....

Probably the same age based on when the game was out and being teenagers. I was playing it in Warren at this indoor golf dome/bowling alley. Maybe the times I went weren't prime time but it was pretty dead there most of the time. They ended up tearing the place down and putting a Menards there. 2021 me wishes I just went in with some cash to buy games vs toying with my race cars at that time. Granted, I had absolutely zero space at that time living in a 700 sqft house at that time post college.

Ahhhh, Van Dyke Sport Center. What memories a lot of us have of that place....

Bingo, same place. Yeah it was awesome going there and picking up a dozen Krispy Kreme when the hot light was on. Gave me a pint of milk and that dozen would get slammed so quick. Now I'm basically going to Marvin's and Free Play. I need to hit up that place in Chesterfield for their pins and then there's a couple places in Lansing we need to hit up as well.

As a teen I played at The Detroiter truck stop off of 75 in Woodhaven. I'm Downriver

Of all the games they have too, I'm surprised they didn't have an F355 Challenge in the big ass triple screen or even the single screen weaksauce one. They do have a Race Drivin' but it's a stand up and not the sit down cab. I just thought about it too, and they don't have a Final Fight either but they have a Punisher?

900 for a Karate champ, not a bad deal at all, it's a super fun game

Don't have that, but had an 8-player Derby Club in a pile

Wish we had room to set that up. If PalmSprings worked out, that would have been killer.

I was watching that in disbelief but it is what it is (the biggest game)

I was so close to bidding on this but realized I just love the game play and don't need some thrashed version of the game. Good deal compared to other things though.

Well shoot, had the laptop going and playing TMTN and was getting an AMAZING game got a new personal best of 38.9M. I thought I was going to miss the Top Skater auction. Got finished just in time.

One day I'll see what it's like to watch drunk ppl play Para Para

This boxing game sucks but Konami also made a virtua cop kind of game with that cab that was really cool

That game is beat up, but fully works. I rebuilt the gloves last year.

There is the cop version in storage.

Here I thought alpine racer would be at $500 and wouldn't take an immediate $1000 bid and once it got $100 bids it just went nuts up to $2100. I was having high hopes for Top Skater and now there's no way TS goes less than Alpine Racer.

Is the cop one coming up in the auction ?

Did you get it ?

I was about to fight you on that, but I relented. Hope that was you.
Regretting it. I shoulda kept fighting for it... TS is siiiick!

Damn, I was really tempted to hit a bid for $1600 on that Top Skater. But that basically takes up the room of 2 pins. Maybe it's the skater kid in me, but that seems like a decent deal? $1500 sale, $1890 out the door? Or was that thing beat to shit? Because I remember if the deck was trash it's basically worthless. I put in for it when it was $1000.

NOOOO! I shoulda bought it
Probably on its way to Dubai right after the stream ends.

The tubes looked badly burnt and the convergence was off.

$1100 for a karate champ is indeed a bad deal.

That Top Skater TV was at the end of it's life. I rejuvenated the projector tubes, and that is the best I could get it. Far better then it was tho.

Top Skaters would go for $100 - $150 at auction - absolutely no one wants those projection screen games.

Air Combat has a really nice screen, but I had to tell Chris how to turn it on. Good thing he watches the chat.

Wow, how do you do that? I know zero about them.

Hook me up? We run a skate camp up here for kids. It woulda been so sick to have a skater arcade game. They love playing pinball!

It's CRT tube projector. Just like rejuvenating an arcade CRT. Just 3 of them.

I should have said how much I was willing to bid on it, I really wouldn't have minded if someone wanted to pay more money than me. It's more just super teenage nostalgia and blasting Pennywise. I feel you would need to get that Crazy Taxi stand up to go with it and blast the Pennywise/Offspring.

How big is that monitor too? Seems big as hell and way beyond those 27/29" anyway. Granted, I did RGB mod my 32" Trinitron in my basement, so I could have just ghetto rigged something for it likely. But a 50" tube is huge. You'd likely just need to find some random rear projection and place it in front of the cab or convert it to a flat screen LCD.

Oh well.

What was the tube in that? Rear project or was it a honkin' CRT? I'd just assume finding a replacement monitor for that is next to impossible or pricy itself?

Rear projection with CRT tubes. The tech is before DLP. Replacement don't exist at all.

Monitor is 50'', and no there's no way to find crt tubes, the ones still working got LCD screens fitted.

Crazy nostalgia. My buddy played this back in the arcades. I didn’t, but paired with my pins and his skate camp, it woulda been pretty cool. He just won a skate competition last week. Dude tore it right up!

I have a Top Skater in the garage and I just cleared some space to set it up. I will be posting it for sale once I get my use out of it. (Takes up wayyy too much room)

I thought turbo out run was a white cabinet. Is this one an outrun upgraded to a turbo ?

Someone got a deal on that G-Loc. It was fully restored and repainted. I recapped the monitor and rebuilt the motor controllers.

Oh wait is that an actual turbo out run ? The car looks like a Testarossa not an F40

The Turbo Outrun is just outrun in the motion cab? Had a motion cab at the Little Caesars Family Fun Pizzeria as a kid. I basically lived off Simpsons 4 player, Final Fight, Rampage and Outrun while I was there.

Well, shit. That's better than overpaying at an auction for a near death tube and having to ship it across the counter after fees/taxes. Where would you post it if you do? But send me a message, I'll see how my pins/space is going at the time since I'm planning at least 3 more pins for the time being.

That's exactly what I was thinking I was impressed at how fast and smooth it was moving

That really did look super clean and running well. Was this info something that was easily known? Because stuff like that would be amazing in the descriptions to know. No that I'd buy a G-loc, but seems someone knowing it's basically as fresh as you can get.

No. They don't list any details like that. Nobody asked and they didn't seem to read the "work order" attached to the games listing what work was done and what still needed to be done.

Yes, they Bought the Barnaby's Family Inn chain and put video games and pins in each one. They renamed several as Bally's Tom Foolery restaurants and also built a couple new one with a modern look using fast-track construction. As the coin-op amusement business crashed, they were just another restaurant chain in the Chicago and Southern Wisconsin area.

Bally sold all of the original Barnaby's back to the original owners at a nice loss. The ground-up new restaurants remained and were re-themed as "Cafe 22: California Style" restaurants. No arcades, just a lot of pastel colors like Southern California restaurants and Hotels of that era. The failed experiment didn't last two years.....

Watched all 12 hours of this today ... will miss you all! See you in two weeks.

Been fun, pretty much spent my whole weekend watching this. Was interesting to see the insanity, hopefully there's some deals in 2 weeks? See you all then!

Yeah having something like that or even a photo (that you can read) would have been amazing. Were you working on just arcade/pins or were you doing basically everything including stuff like jukeboxes too?

Looking forward to the misfits lot in 2 weeks. Lots of the strange and “unknown” for sale in that one.

I was looking at G-Loc and thinking that it would be in under 5 hours that someone put a drink on it at an arcade bar

Okay Im back from being ejected right as the vids started lol. Couple things I noticed.
-First game at $500 or below was a Moon Fighter that played blind.
-Holy shit $4000 for Pong Doubles
-Buyer 1660 is an absolute whale
