Quoted from transprtr4u:By the pictures they look pretty rough
Most projects seem to be these days, unfortunately.
Those are some very 70's arcade games. Most of the pins look like they might play but will need some work both mechanically and cosmetically.
The Caperville might need a closer inspection, would appear to be the more desirable EM there. Although it has been repainted a long time ago.
These popped up a few months ago as a private sale - water damage to pretty much most of them from what I have seen. I made an offer on a game or 2 and he countered with eBay prices. There is a long story to these games, but I wouldn't buy sight unseen.
Quoted from Darcy:Jan 26th, 9AM to 6PM viewing. Jan 27th auction starts 10 AM Sharp.
I just had a good look at those machines. As per what LongJohns has stated above, definitely have a good look at these machines before bidding!
Yep! These are in rough condition (IMHO). Some will not stand up safely on their own.
Never been to this Auction before. The staff seemed nice. Wonder if the 'No Sale' items stay there until the next sale, or if they allow to people to walk in and offer a price on items. The staff must of had a challenge with these pins and arcades, getting them set up, and moved around. Many of the rear panels had termite damage, with layers of the plywood chewed through.
Tried to delete these photos in this post, but can not. Some how these photos appeared here instead of the next post. Enjoy!

Many of the pins had water damage, the backs had blown out corners. Couple of Williams games with the particle-board trim had swelled.
The ones that were set up all had new cad plated bolts, most had the wrong legs. Hopefully the bidders will see all this and get what they want at a decent price.

Strato-Flite really needs some loving.
Saw the Williams Phoenix on, but it was not being played. For the EM's most will need a back panel and have lots of rusted contacts to clean. There were a few old back boxes by themselves
There were many arcades which I didn't even look at.
Backglass of the Capersville needs to be replaced.

Yeah they were all very rough, the arcades were not much better, maybe worde. Water damage, termite damage.
Just for the fun of it. Hope some one will keep track of the top bids, and post them here.
Edit: Prices posted in "Anybody have Pins they want to sell in Canada".

I saw that Tron was already $600 and Asteroids was $325 yesterday.
Can't wait to see what happens with those two!
